Notes:1. A key indicator of maturity of shaivite philosophy (may beapplicable for the whole vaidhika dharma in general) is in thissong. Our saint does not say, "Those who do not worship Lord shiva will be just put in the hell", rather he declareseven if those who have some wisdom but still not enough tocomprehend the great Divinity tell antagonistic views dueto their short-sight, still it will be acceptable to our Lord,if it is in positive direction. This may not be a surprise for those who are aware of theAgamic/ philosophic texts (for example siddhanta prakashika)where even for those religions that are completely antagonistic to shaivism, instead of listing out the sufferings at hells, indicates the levels of elevation they could achieve and at the same time bringing out where they fall short. Because when there is only one God all the worship goes to It. There cannot be one God per religion. Whatvaries is the level of maturity of the religions. This is whatshaivite philosophy calls gradual progression. Thing to be realized here is, God in the process of moving the soul from total darkness of filth to the Bliss It offers, takes thesoul through the levels of wisdom as the maturity of it progresses. appar concludes he worships the Lord shiva at peruvELUr,Whom the wise great people worship in reverence and devotion,as the way to get uplifted.------------- Name of hara encompass !
