Vannakkam: I actually don't believe we 'become' anything. It is only a matter of recognising who we already are.

What has Learning profited a man, if it has not led him to worship the good feet of Him who is pure knowledge itself?
They alone dispel the mind's distress, who take refuge at the feet of the incomparable one. ~~Tirukural 2, 7

Namaste,
The verses are from Saiva scriptures,I need some time to provide references.There are a similar shlokas from Srimat Shiva Maha Purana.
eSha devo mahAdevaH sarvaj~no jagadIshvaraH |
ayaM tu parayA bhaktyA dR^ishyate nAnyathA kvachit ||
He is the deity, Mahadeva,the Great God, the omniscient One,the Supreme Lord of the worlds.This God Mahadeva is but visible by higher devotion.

All beings are under His control, He is the overlord and organiser of everything. This Great God can be known only by higher devotion.
As explained in earlier posts,one should not misunderstand and assume that Gnana marga,Yoga,Puja or Tapas are absent in Shaivism but it is to be known that Shiva Bhakti forms the solid foundation for all others and is itself a great path.
Except the literature from Kauai Adheenam,Saiva Siddhanta literature available today is based on Dualistic Saiva Siddhanta interpreations.(There were many Non-Dualistic traditions that existed before Meykandadeva but most works of those ancient Shivacharyas has not been translated into English from Sanskrit and is mostly studied by few scholars.) There are many books relating to Meykandadeva's system online,you'll find many books if you google Saiva Siddhanta.And where can I find about the Meyakanda shastras online?
He dances in the golden hall of Chidambaram, Let us worship His rosy anklet girt Feet.
