The Light of the Tantras

For this reason, in the 'new' original: abhinavāyām creation, the path of the pure sequence śuddhādhvan, according to the principle that:

'In the pure path, Shiva is the agent...'<

Because Shiva is the one who is directly perceived there, it is said that she possesses a brilliance mahaḥ characterized by completeness. Here in the non-dual doctrine, the Lord himself, through the majesty of his own freedom, makes the universe appear as if it were separate, even though it is not distinct from him, because its essence is merely an appearance. Thus, it is stated that his own freedom, which depends on nothing else, is the cause of the diversity of the universe.

It is not reasonable to say that the latent impressions of ignorance are the cause of the world's diversity, because they are undermined by the concepts of difference and non-difference. Therefore, although the Lord possesses infinite powers starting with consciousness, his flashing is paramount, and it is for this reason that it is mentioned here. As he will say:

'Therefore, the method is simple, as he is endowed with the power of freedom alone.'<

And what is the Father like? He says 'he has a full body.' 'Full' means his nature is satisfied by the exhaustion of all desires through completeness; he is independent because he is not turned toward anything else.
