It suppresses also the differentiated thought
which belongs to maya (TS, IV, p.21,22). The state of non-differentiated

thinking. But certainty ( niscaya) arises from differentiated thinking
(TA, V, 16a ) and therefore the intuitive consciousness can not be

of intuition as well as the study of scriptures under the guidance of
a qualified master lead to supra-rational cognition. Discussions with
sages and long practice are also of great help for a quiring this ability.
A vacillating intuition ( kampam盲nam ) can spontaneously become stabler
for some people, while others need the help of judgement, a master's
help, etc. The less accessory elements intuition employs for its
development, the better. "In him who may acquire infinite knowledge
about the others, Siva's nature ( sivata ) is nevertheless present very

( the initiation and so on) are performed in order to achieve God's
inspiration. In so far as the master has inherited it in his own nature,
the observances are irrelevant for him. Such a worshipper led by Siva
himself, is the God's disciple( TA, XIII, 140). Those whose intuition
