. Abstract The question of the relationship between Unity and multiplicity is one of the most central components of metaphysics. In a sense, it is a mystery and a paradox. As much as it may be so, an understanding that the One may “become” many and that the many may “reveal” the One is at the core of the metaphysical outlook.
It must be admitted that the expressions of this understanding cannot but be, on some level, a challenge to the discursive faculty and to ordinary consciousness. The Christian Mystery of the Trinity is one of the most striking occurrences of this challenge, as it transcends the logic of exclusion by upholding both the unity and distinction of the Persons. In a sense, any divine manifestation constitutes a bridge between the world of above, that of the One, and the world of below, that of the many. In the general context of such theophanies some divine figures are endowed with a function that is particularly akin to the reconciliation of extremes. Such mediators present us with characteristics that tend to puzzle or disorient the analytical mind in search of human images of unambiguous divine integrity, as if these gods were taking it upon themselves to dress their celestial identity with the colorful mantle of terrestrial tribulations.

At the time of 's 'birth', Shiva was away from the family home. On returning, and finding an unknown young man standing guard outside the bathroom of his wife, he naturally challenged him.

According to the deep yogic experience of the sages of this philosophy, there is no difference between Shiva and tattva. They are both actually one with Paramasiva. They are considered to be two tattvas only for the convenience of philosophical thinking and as a way of clarifying the two aspects of the one absolute reality, Paramasiva. These two aspects are Shiva, the transcendental unity, and Shakti, the universal diversity. The changeless, absolute and pure consciousness is Shiva, while the natural tendency of Shiva towards the outward manifestation of the five divine activities is Shakti. So, even though Shiva is Shakti, and Shakti is Shiva, and even though both are merely aspects of the same reality called Paramasiva, still, these concepts of Shiva-hood and Shakti-hood are counted as the first two tattvas. These two tattvas are at the plane of absolute purity and perfect unity., in Specific Principles of Kashmir Shaivism (3rd edition, 2008), p.
