Shiva Purana — Rudra Samhita, Shloka 21

पार्वतीप्रार्थना—हिमवत्पार्श्वे भिक्षुरूपेण याचनम् | Pārvatī’s Request: Śiva to Seek Her in Beggar-Form at Himālaya’s Court

Devanagari script

मायामयं कृतमिदं च जगत्समग्रं सर्वात्मना हि विधृतं परया स्वबुद्ध्या । सवार्त्मभिस्सुकृतिभिः परमात्मभावैस्संसिक्तमात्मनि गणः परिवेष्टितश्च

Transliteration

māyāmayaṃ kṛtamidaṃ ca jagatsamagraṃ sarvātmanā hi vidhṛtaṃ parayā svabuddhyā | savārtmabhissukṛtibhiḥ paramātmabhāvaissaṃsiktamātmani gaṇaḥ pariveṣṭitaśca

Translation

此整个宇宙虽由幻力（Māyā）所造，却由至上者以自身至高觉知，作为万有的内在自我而维系。众生之群——具足善业功德、其觉悟浸润于对至上我（Paramātman）的体认者——皆被包摄，并安住于那同一自我之中。

FAQs

It teaches that the world is Māyā in its appearance, yet it is upheld by Shiva as the indwelling Self (Sarvātman). Liberation matures when one’s awareness becomes permeated with Paramātma-bhāva—seeing all within Shiva and oneself established in Him.

Linga-worship trains the mind to recognize Shiva as the unseen support of all forms. While the universe appears manifold through Māyā, devotion to Saguna Shiva (as Linga and Lord) leads the seeker toward the realization of Shiva as the inner Self beyond form.

Cultivate Paramātma-bhāva through japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) and inward meditation on Shiva as the Self in all beings; let virtuous conduct (sukṛti) support steady contemplation.
