सर्वानन शिरोग्रीवः सर्वभूतगुहाशयः। सर्वव्यापी स भगवांस्तस्मात्सर्वगतः शिवः॥

sarvānana śirogrīvaḥ sarvabhūtaguhāśayaḥ | sarvavyāpī sa bhagavāṃstasmātsarvagataḥ śivaḥ ||

"With faces, heads, and necks everywhere, dwelling in the cave (heart) of all beings, all-pervading, the blessed Lord - therefore Shiva is omnipresent."

What This Means:

Having all faces, heads, and necks, dwelling in every heart, all-pervading - this blessed Lord Shiva is everywhere.

Going Deeper:

The Vishvarupa continues with emphasis on omnipresence. The term Shiva (auspicious) explicitly names the Lord.

How To Apply This:

Shiva is in every face, every heart, everywhere. See His presence in all.
