The "particular means" (anava) is especially characterized by rites,
because che rite remains
for the common mind.
the easiest way of access to the supreme reality
The ritualism in itself belongs to the realm of
m膩y膩, repeating the actions of emission, maintenance and reacsorption of
the world. But performing the rite, the Saivite can acquire a new quality
of knowledge that makes nim withdraw from the "cave of maya" and gradually
enter the realm of Ananta. This is the Lord of all Rudras who alone
bestow on the follower the lamp which is able to light up the
remove
the dark (TA, VIII, 3000-306; XV, 540a-541).
The rite is the external face of
can
cave and
the tantric path;
the acvotion of linga, images (murti), fire, sacrificial surface (sthandi-
1a) etc. is the reverse side of the inner techniques concerning emptiness,
mind, vital breathing, wheels and body (TA, XII, 2-5). This functional
isomorphism explicitly appears to the Saivite tantrika through a ritual,
namely that concerning the sacrificial vessel (arghapatram). The receptacle
is tantamount to the body of the practitioner and the relationship between
the vessel and its possessor is similar to that
setween the devotee's
body and Siva. A formal rendering in the propositional
calculus
reveals
the following transitive relation of this ritual:
((pa) (q>r))>(p>r)
