At its highest, Linga worship is meditation on: • formless consciousness • silent awareness • the Self as Shiva The Linga is abstract, unlike deity statues. Why? Because it points toward Nirguna. It is form that leads beyond form. The Linga’s Shape: The Infinite Without Attributes The Linga has no face, no limbs. It is pure presence. It symbolizes: अस्ति — Being itself.
