If God is all merciful, one may ask, 
He could have directly put us all in Bliss
instead of making us wander in the world of dichotomy.
The answer shaiva siddhanta gives here is very key. 
You can provide excellent food. 





However, there has to be hunger and resulting zeal in the
part of receiver. If not the receiver cannot enjoy the 
excellent food. The same way, even though God is 
offering us the ultimate Bliss, unless we develop the 
singular focus and zeal for God, we would not be able 
to relish that great state. So God gives that Bliss to those
who seek the God and does not for those who do not.

salamilan 

In this whole process God is totally impartial.
God is not favoring some and not others. 
People relish the grace of God earlier or later
based on their own maturity to seek God.

shankaran 

In sanskrit Sham = bliss, prosperity, happiness
Karan = One who will give 
Shankaran - sham + kara - One who will give bliss, prosperity and happiness.
This is the characteristic of God - being 
boundlessly meritorious. Only because of this
God has given us this life. Only because of this
God liberates us from this life too.

salamilan sangkaran saarntha varkkalaal
nalamila naadooru nalkuvaanalan
kulamila raakilung kulaththuk kaerpathoar
nalamikak koduppathu namachchi vaayavae


Siva, the dispenser of good things has no partiality.
does not do any good except to people who approach him.
grants daily goodthings.
though some do not have noble lineage.
namaccivaya will give abundantly good things suitable to that birth.
