Panchakritya (Five acts) - Creation-Maintenance-Destruction-Concealment-Grace of almighty. Suddha tattvas are called pure because they are directly created by Shiva himself. Śiva Also known as Nāda tattva. One of the two aspects of the omniscient, omnipresent, conscious Absolute. In this essence, the Absolute doesn't consist of any desire (icchā), action (kriyā) or Knowledge (jnāna) related properties. It is in its pure conscious state. Śakti Another aspect of the Absolute which is known as Bindu Tattva. Pairing of Śiva-Śakti causes the creation of all the lower tattvas. The paired Śiva-Śakti is omniscience and consistently active. These two properties of Śiva-Śakti are known jnāna and kriyāa respectively. Sadākhya Also called Sadāśiva tattva or Śiva-Śakti tattva. This tattva is responsible for the appearance of aham or self. This tattva is when kriyāśakti and jnānaśakti of the Absolute are in equilibrium. Iśvara Also known as Ishwara tattva. The tattva where the fourth act of Panchakritya - delusion or concealment happens. Iśvara tattva activates the souls which are concealed by pāśa. Idam, "this is myself", i.e., the objectivation of self-awareness is caused by Iśvara tattva. Śuddha Vidyā Also known as Sadvidyā or Kriyā. In this tattva the tri-murthis manifest. Jnānaśakti is more initiative than kriyaśakti in Śuddhavidyā tattva. Here, "self-ness" and "this-ness" become balanced.

Or this five tattvas can be seen as retrogradation of souls from lower state to its higher steps towards liberation. Seven pure-impure tattvas Pure-impure tattvas or Vidya tattvas are described as the "instruments" that assist the souls for their liberation. Soul or Atman is considered as "Purusha tattva" here, while the final manifestation of almighty is known as "Maya tattva". Maya manifests into five more tattvas known as "kanchukas" and these six tattvas adjoins the pusursha tattva and thus, produce seven vidya tattvas. Māyā Maya hides the divine nature of created beings as it creates the sense of separateness from the Divine and from each other. The five kanchukas Kanchukas can be fairly translated as cloaks. They block the subject from recognising the divine nature of the Universe. kāla - the cloak of time vidyā - the cloak of limited knowledge rāga - the cloak of desire niyati - the cloak of causality kalā - the cloak of being limited Purusha Purusha is the
