In a fascinating display of divine retribution, Para Devi occasionally chooses to humble those who reveled in spreading fear, subjecting them to the very terror they once sought to inspire in others.

O Goddess, what you have asked is excellent, excellent. Due to your supreme status, the repetition of "excellent" is appropriate. You have asked about the essence of the tantras, the certainties. That should be kept secret by you, to be meditated upon inseparably…

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.
