In Hinduism
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)Abhilaṣaṇīya (अभिलषणीय) refers to “(that which is) desired”, according to the Īśvarapratyabhijñāvivṛtivimarśinī 2.132.—Accordingly, “And even efficacy can be desired (abhilaṣaṇīya) only insofar as it is being manifest; therefore it too rests on manifestation”.
