भक्तत्युद्रेकाद्विविक्तस्य यादृशी जायते मतिः ।

bhairava uvāca
bhaktatyudrekād virktasya yādṛśī jāyate matiḥ ।
sā śaktiḥ śāṅkarī nityaṃ bhāvayet tāṃ tataḥ śivaḥ ॥ 121 ॥
~ dhāraṇā 96, vijñāna bhairava tantra
The intuitive power (mati) that emerges through the intensity of devotion, bhakti, in one who is perfectly detached is known as the Śakti of Śaṅkara. One should contemplate on it perpetually. Then he becomes Śiva himself.
(note: the word 'mati' is used in technical sense, implying spiritual intuitive power.)
