Kashmir Shaivism doctrine affirms that nothing can compel "Śiva" to bestow the final spiritual realization – it is solely based on the unconditioned "svātantrya", or, from the opposite perspective, there is no obstacle that can separate the disciple from becoming one with "Śiva" because he has "svātantrya" which is the ultimate power that cannot be impeded by anything. Thus, in Kashmir Shaivism there is this paradoxical concept that nothing needs to be done, as the supreme realization can appear without effort, but also, no matter what effort one undergoes, he cannot compel "Śiva" to liberate his self ("ātman"). Yet, this is not an invitation to abandon hard work but a justification for humility.
