अद्वैतशैवसिद्धान्ते पुरुष-प्रकृति-विचारः
Puruṣa–Prakṛti Analysis in Advaita Śaiva Doctrine
सत्त्वादिगुणसाध्यं च बुध्यादित्रितयात्मकम् । चित्तम्प्रकृतितत्त्वं तदासीत्सत्त्वादिकारणात्
sattvādiguṇasādhyaṃ ca budhyāditritayātmakam | cittamprakṛtitattvaṃ tadāsītsattvādikāraṇāt
心质(citta)是自性(Prakṛti)的演化物:由以萨埵(sattva)为首的诸德性(guṇa)所生,并由以觉知(buddhi)为首的三重体性所构成。它因这些德性的因缘作用(萨埵等)而显现。

Tattva Level: pasha
It explains that the mind (citta) is a product of Prakṛti and the guṇas, implying it is changeful and bindable; liberation in a Shaiva Siddhanta sense comes by turning from guṇa-born mind toward Pati (Śiva), the transcendent Lord.
Linga/Saguṇa-Śiva worship disciplines the guṇa-driven citta—making it sattvic and steady—so devotion can mature into knowledge that Śiva is distinct from Prakṛti and its tattvas.
A practical takeaway is japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) with dhyāna to purify the guṇa-born citta; wearing Rudrākṣa and applying Tripuṇḍra-bhasma support steadiness and sāttvika orientation in practice.
