The use of the word "mirage" in this context is appropriate. If we accept that Pure Consciousness, or Shiva, is absolute truth and not subject to modification or change, then anything that is subject to change cannot be the highest reality. So gross, subtle and causal bodies are a mirage as they are subject to change. Further, any action and result of action that are not performed with knowledge that I AM THAT results in perpetual transmigration. You speak of samadhi, but experiencing samadhi or turiya is Pure Consciousness, so all other states are this mirage you speak of. If we accept Shiva is omnipotent and omniscient, and there is no difference between Shiva and jiva, then how can siddhis be a distraction. They simply are. If Shiva distracted by his own grandeur?

"I am That" is said in the context of Consciousness. The merging in Samadhi is only with Pure Consciousness. So why would Pure consciousness which is without attributes have anything to do with an individual's Karma. Again the connections of cosmic consciousness and individual consciousness, is in consciousness plane, and is beyond actions and results of action done by the gross, subtle and causal body. This article is mixing different schools of thought and non-duality is also being confused. To add, Samadhi is different from siddhi , and siddhi is a distraction to the seeker of liberation. Also experience from practice should not be confused with absolute knowledge. Mirage is experientially real, but still unreal. If you could pick on a specific philosophy on Non duality like Advaita Vedanta if you prefer Vedanta or Tantra of Kashmir Shivism, and present your case, it would be easier to show the flaws in reasoning.

Excellent explanation with an excellent mantra as it combines both Sakthi and Siva.... Ravi, where did you pick up such knowledge?

This is what Scriptures say. During lunar eclipse, earth is placed exactly between sun and moon and during this time, gravitational force will become lower. To explain this spiritually, breathing shifts to suṣumna making spiritual practices easier. Any mantra will be effective. One has to choose only one mantra during eclipse time. Sun is said to represent Shiva and Moon is said represent Shakti. The ideal mantra would be ॐ ह्रीं नमःशिवाय॥ om hrīṁ namaḥśivāya ||
