SHIVA as Guru bestows the rarest grace to disciple with His anugraha shakti. In Paushkara Agama, Pasu Patalah (verse 41 - 43), Lord Shambu Himself reveals the glory of Deeksha and the rarity to have Shiva in the form of Guru.
evam samsārato bhītim anugrhṇati ceśvaraḥ ।
tadyogyatānusāreṇa karunā' garbhayā dṛśā ॥
At that moment, through His divine look brimming with compassion, Lord Shiva bestows his Anugraha (grace) upon such mature seeker which has now become frightened with the worldly existence.
punā'ti sadhikā'reṇa yam vā'pi parameśvaraḥ ।
tayānugraharūpiṇyā śaktirgati rodhikā ॥
Considering the fitness of the seeker, Shiva bestows his anugraha instantly. Whichever seeker it may be, whichever caste or other distinctions, Lord Shiva purifies that mature seeker through His immediate presence in the form of a Guru. Lord Shiva Sambhu's specific activity in the form of Anugraha - liberating grace, is actually His Shakti; the potency of anava mala which veils the innate and essential nature of the seeker, is set to decaying phase by this.
This specific activity is characteristically called Deeksha.
malasyakśīyate vinaye tathānugrahakasya ca ।
kāruṇye sa śivaḥ kartā tayoryogaḥ sudurlabhaḥ ॥
In effecting humbleness in the seeker, who has become fit enough to be favored and in effecting compassionate feelings in the Guru also, Shiva is the causal Lord. The intimate communion between the blessed one and the blessing one is very rare and difficult to occur.
Thus, blessed are those seekers to have the ultimate, Sadguru Paramahamsa Nithyananda in their life. Even among them, the chosen few have the anugraha, the ultimate grace of the Shiva Deeksha from the Guru, the embodiment of Sadashiva, established in Sadashivatva.
you are sadāshiva's form
In life, certain profound and absolute truths can never be changed, whether you understand or not, accept or not, like or not, believe or not. You can change the window or door of your house in whatever direction you want. But Sun rises in the East and sets in the West only. There is nothing you can change about it.
If you deny saying 'No, no, in our place the Sun neither rises nor sets" means the door and window of your house must be in different direction, but that doesn't change the truth of sun rising or setting. Whether you see the sunrise and sunset or not, sun IS rising and setting.
Same way, when you live in this body and mind, either before enlightenment or after enlightenment, YOU ARE THE FORMS OF LORD SHIVA. You are one and the same as Shiva's energy. Some may understand this or may not. But this is THE Truth.
Some keep their door and window in the east-west direction and enjoy the sun rising and sun setting while some keep in the north-south direction and they live their life never ever seeing it. A rare few, while they are living, due to their tapas (austerity), live the space of SADASHIVOHAM – celebrate, rejoice, radiate and manifest the energy and powers of Sadashiva. Others do not celebrate. The truth is we are all part of Shiva.
