विद्येश्वरसंहिता
Chapter Three · Reflection on the Goal, the Means and the Rest · Verses 1–27

अथ तृतीयोऽध्यायः

The sages ask Sūta to recite the Purāṇa of Śiva. He begins with a story. Long ago the sages of the six families quarrelled over what is highest and went to ask Brahmā. Brahmā tells them it is Mahādeva, from whom words and mind turn back, and who is seen only through devotion. He sends them to hold a thousand-year sacrifice on earth to win his grace. Asked about the goal, the means and the seeker, he answers: the goal is reaching Śiva's state; the means is hearing about him, praising him and thinking deeply on him; the seeker wants no fruit for himself. Hearing comes first, from the teacher. Practised step by step, this means brings union with Śiva. It is hard at first, but good all the way through. मुनि सूतजीसे शिवका पुराण सुनानेको कहते हैं। वे एक कथासे आरम्भ करते हैं। बहुत पहले छः कुलोंके मुनियोंमें विवाद हुआ कि सबसे ऊँचा क्या है, और वे ब्रह्माजीसे पूछने गये। ब्रह्माजी बताते हैं कि वे महादेव हैं, जहाँसे वाणी और मन लौट आते हैं, और जो भक्तिसे ही दिखते हैं। वे मुनियोंको उनकी कृपा पानेके लिये पृथ्वीपर हजार वर्षका यज्ञ करने भेजते हैं। साध्य, साधन और साधकके विषयमें पूछनेपर वे उत्तर देते हैं: शिवपदकी प्राप्ति साध्य है; उनके विषयमें सुनना, उनका कीर्तन और मनन साधन है; साधक अपने लिये फल नहीं चाहता। पहले गुरुसे सुनना चाहिये। क्रमसे साधनेपर यह साधन शिवसे मिलन कराता है। आरम्भमें यह कठिन है, पर बादमें निरन्तर मंगल देनेवाला है।
