FAQs
It presents nāda (inner sound) as a yogic sign of deepening concentration, where subtle perception awakens; siddhis may appear, but the Shaiva aim is union with Pati (Shiva), not mere powers.
The verse points to inward worship: as the mind becomes one-pointed on Shiva (Saguna support such as Linga and mantra leading inward), the seeker encounters nāda as an inner indicator of proximity to Shiva-consciousness.
A meditative practice of nāda-anusandhāna (listening inwardly to subtle sound) alongside Shiva-mantra japa (e.g., the Panchakshara) is implied; siddhis like distant vision are secondary and should be met with detachment.
