Shiva Sutra 1: Chaitanyamatma
Essence: Your consciousness is yourself, from which everything has been created. If one understands this and wakes up to this consciousness, one can reach the ultimate goal.
Shiva Sutra 2: Jnanam Bandha
Essence: Limited knowledge creates bondage. Without obtaining knowledge of the self, of “Who am
I?” we go about acquiring knowledge of the world, of “What is this?’ and this causes bondage.
