“The Brahmacaryaloka accepted by Śiva is beyond that. There in the Jñānakailāśa that has five coverings, the primary phallic form of Śiva is stationed in the company of primary energy of Śiva. It has five zones and five Brahma-kalās. This is called the abode of Śiva, Śivalaya, the supreme Ātman. There alone stays Parameśvara in the company of Parāśakti. He is skilled in the performance of the five divine functions of creation, maintenance, evanescence and blessing. His body is Existence, Knowledge and Bliss. He is always in meditation. He is ever bent on blessing. He is seated in the pose of trance. He shines resting in His own Self. His vision is possible gradually through sacred rites, meditation etc. By performing the daily rites and worships, the mind is diverted toward the sacred rites of Śiva, the performance whereof gives the sight of Śiva. Those who come within His vision are certainly liberated.”
