One of the names of Lord Shiva is Adyantahinam—one without a beginning or end. We think Shiva is somewhere else sitting with a snake around his neck. Shiva is one in whom everything has taken birth, who encompasses everything.
Shiva is also called Virupaksha—meaning one who is formless yet sees all. We know there is air all around us and we can feel it too. But what if the air also starts feeling us? The Divine is all around you and is seeing you. It is the formless core of existence and the goal—the seer, sight and the seen. This formless Divinity is Shiva. To simply wake up and experience this Shiva Tattva is Shivaratri. 
Om Namah Shivaya!
