Birth and death, twin specters, breed fear's might,

Yet, in this Realm, their shadows take flight.

Illusion's veil, lifted, reveals the Truth, And fear's dark wings, in Radiance, lose their youth.

How strange, O heart, that after beholding Thee,

Fear's dread whisper still echoes within me?

Has the Unreal's snare not been rent apart? Does the Cycle of Birth and Death still grasp thy heart?

Arise, O mind, and shake off slumber's chains, For in the Unchanging, all fears are vain. In Thoughtless Realms, Infinite and Free, Lies thy true Nature, wild and carefree.

Oh, maddening Bliss, that doth surpass all thought, How thou dost ravish my soul, with ecstasy brought! In Thee, I find the End of Fear's dark night, And the Beginning of Eternal Delight.

Difference between Universe, Śiva and Samsāra —

Universe – Anything which we perceive as outside of us is the universe.

Śiva – Supreme nondual entity, in fact the universe is nothing but Śiva, when we perceive it through the sight of wisdom.

Samsāra – When we perceive this universe through the sight of ignorance or half-wisdom, it's called Samsāra. Samsāra is also Śiva but with the sight of ignorance we can't perceive him completely, in other words, Samsāra is nothing but incomplete cognition of Śiva.

This imperfect sight is called the sight of Jīva and the perfect sight is the sight of Śiva ; i.e Śiva percieves this universe through the sight of Śiva, that's why universe can't affect him, but when he obscures his perfect nature by his own will, he becomes Jīva or individual and percieves this universe through this imperfect sight.

Keep this in mind that for Śiva universe is not outside of him, he himself is the universe, but for us individuals, it is outside of us, this inside-outside cognition is also Samsāra, but without these Sāmsārika terminologies it's impossible to give an idea about this philosophy.

The Nature of Paratattva: The Unknowable Reality

Netra Tantra describes Paratattva as "param anuttaram parameśvarasvarūpan - the highest, unsurpassable, absolute nature of the Supreme Lord. This complex definition reveals several key aspects of this ultimate reality:

Param (Highest):Paratattva isn't just another level of reality; it is the ultimate ground of being, the source from which everything arises and to which everything returns.

Anuttaram (Unsurpassable): There is nothing beyond or higher than Paratattva. Itis the absolute peak of spiritual realization, the ultimate state of consciousness.

Parameśvarasvarūpam (Absolute Nature of the Supreme Lord): This highlights the non- dualistic nature of Trika Shaivism. The Supreme Lord, often personified as Shiva, isn't separate from Paratattva; it is its very essence and nature.

O, wondrous adoration, tell me what thy name, In beholding innate Essence, Nature's holy flame, Equal to Heaven's vast expanse, infinite and wide,

With Consciousness' ambrosial dew, thy soul doth reside.

Yet, Self, thy delight, doth not thyself impart,

When fantasies fade, and fleeting fancies depart.

Doth thy own radiance, not thy heart enchant?

Or doth thy essence, not thy soul, ravish and transport?
