Lord Siva transcends "Satva rajas tamasa" qualities. He is pure conciousness himself. He is capable of analysing pairs of opposing qualities like happiness, sorrow etc. He is of non-dual nature. He has comprehensive knowledge of "Knower,Knowledge and Knowing". He is unparalleled. He is harmonious combination of one and many. He preaches the tenet "Tat,Tvam,Asi" i.e "you are that'. He is inspiration to strive for ultimate liberation.
