Shiva is not a person. Shiva is the entire universe. Shiva is space. Shiva is consciousness. Shiva is from where everything has come. Everything is sustained in it and dissolves in it. There is no way that you can step out of it. Shiva can be split as Sha+ee+va where
• Sha stands for shareeram or body
• Ee stands for eeshwara or life giving energy
• Va stands for vayu or motion
Thus Shiva represents the body with life and motion. If the 'ee' is removed from Shiva, it gets reduced to sha+va or Shava which means a lifeless body. Anything with Shiva is with life, and anything without Shiva is Shava, or without life. So Shiva is auspicious, Shiva is potential, and Shiva is life. Shiva is all encompassing - the universal soul or consciousness. Realizing this Shiva Tattva leads to Ananda, bliss.
