ओंकार-परमेश-लिङ्गकथा — The Narrative of the Oṃkāra Parameśa Liṅga
Gokarṇa–Vindhya Episode
मयि सर्वं विद्यते च न न्यूनं हि कदाचन । इति भावं समास्थाय संस्थितो नारदाग्रतः
mayi sarvaṃ vidyate ca na nyūnaṃ hi kadācana | iti bhāvaṃ samāsthāya saṃsthito nāradāgrataḥ
“میرے اندر سب کچھ موجود ہے، اور میں کبھی کسی وقت بھی کمی والا نہیں” اس یقین کو مضبوطی سے تھام کر وہ نارَد کے سامنے ثابت قدم کھڑا رہا۔
Suta Goswami (narrating the account to the sages; the verse describes a devotee’s/ascetic’s inner stance before Narada)
Tattva Level: pashu
Sthala Purana: Not a Jyotirliṅga passage; it presents an inner stance of self-sufficiency that becomes the object of Nārada’s humbling instruction.
Significance: Teaches that the bound soul’s claim of completeness can be a form of āṇava-mala (egoic contraction); pilgrimage lesson is inner: replace self-sufficiency with Śiva-dependence (śaraṇāgati).
FAQs
It teaches the Shaiva attitude of pūrṇatā (inner fullness): when one abides in the awareness of the Self upheld by Shiva’s grace, the sense of deficiency falls away, producing steadiness and fearlessness.
Linga-worship trains the devotee to see Shiva as the all-supporting Reality; this verse reflects that ripened devotion—standing before a sage (Nārada) with the settled conviction that nothing is lacking when one is established in Shiva.
A simple takeaway is dhyāna with japa: repeat the Panchākṣarī (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) while cultivating the bhāva, “Shiva is complete; by His presence in me, I lack nothing,” until the mind becomes saṁsthita (steady).
