Jai Sri Ganesha,
Know Shiva to be the ultimate deity of Sanatan sanskriti, a truth that real by nature that conductive to good in gross reality,
Though embodiment of Tamas yet a light to dispel the dark of delusion, is also taken as inertia that tends to annihilation, but this is an aspect of his reality which differ with individual and referral cause,
All deities attain their truth from Shiva to act and react in truth with relative and perpetual cause,
Shiva is much more than what it has narrated by the truth of time and ages, literally Shiva is one in whom the universe rest upon and individual beings attain to deep sleep for eternal rejuvition,
Jai Mahadev
