1430. Shakti, is Grace of Sadashiva in Suddha Saivam
She transcends the worlds of Matter, Pure and Impure, And the seven states of Turiya awareness And the categories of Real and Unreal, She is Paraparai; She grants the soul deliverance; She is ever within; She is the Lord's Divine Grace, The Arul Sakti that is all pervasive.

Oneness - Shivoham
They transcended Categories Real and Unreal That cognize neither Chit nor Achit They attuned themselves to Sivoham meditation, And in Mukti, in the bliss of Sakti They were immersed deep, And there All Siddhis abounded in surpassing prowess.

Śāstra Pramāṇa
जाग्रत् स्वप्नः सुषुप्तिश्च तुरियं तदतीतकम् ।
यो वेत्ति पञ्चकं देवि स गुरुः कथितः प्रिये ॥ ७४ ॥
jāgrat svapnaḥ suṣuptiśca turiyaṃ tadatītakam ।
yo vetti pañcakaṃ devi sa guruḥ kathitaḥ priye ॥ 74 ॥
पिंडं पदं तथा रुपं रूपातीतं चतुष्टयम् ।
यो वा सम्यग्विजानाति स गुरुः कथितः प्रिये ॥ ७५ ॥
~ कुलार्नव तन्त्र, त्रयोदश उल्लास
piṇḍaṃ padaṃ tathā rupaṃ rūpātītaṃ catuṣṭayam ।
yo vā samyagvijānāti sa guruḥ kathitaḥ priye ॥ 75 ॥
~ kulārnava tantra, trayodaśa ullāsa
He who knows the four states of consciousness - waking state, dream state, deep sleep state and the fourth (turiya) state, and what is beyond all these (turiyatīta). He is the Guru. He who knows the four – what is forming (piṇḍam), what is formed (padam), the form (rūpa) and what is beyond form (rupātīta) – he is the Guru.
