Shvetashvatara Upanishad 5.14Famous
intermediate
भावग्राह्यमनीडाख्यं भावाभावकरं शिवम्। कलासर्गकरं देवं ये विदुस्ते जहुस्तनुम्॥
bhāvagrāhyamanīḍākhyaṃ bhāvābhāvakaraṃ śivam | kalāsargakaraṃ devaṃ ye viduste jahustanum ||
"Knowing the God who is grasped by the heart, called "without nest" (formless), the cause of existence and non-existence, the auspicious Shiva, the creator of the parts (of creation) - those who know Him leave the body (forever)."
What This Means:
God is known by the heart, formless (without nest), causing existence and non-existence. He is auspicious Shiva, creator of creation's parts. Knowers leave the body cycle.
Going Deeper:
"Anida" (without nest) means formless, without limiting abode. Shiva creates the parts (kala) of manifestation. Knowledge ends rebirth.
How To Apply This:
Know Shiva as formless yet the cause of all forms. This knowledge ends the cycle of rebirth.
