Another way to say the same thing is, atma darsana, or "self vision", a term found in Patanjali's /Yoga Sutras/. The primary goal of Saivism is realizing our personal identity with that of the Parasiva - without differentiation. A concept we feel may be obtained in this life. Om Shanti ...

As Zen Yogi said: "Attention!" Dan: "Wha?" Zen Yogi: "Attention, attention, attention ;-) Dan: "Wha, wha, wha?" ** "Enlightenment", for Saiva monists, is another term for Self Realization, or samadhi - which is our ultimate attainment.
