Here (Trika doctrine is concerned with that) which is of the nature of all things, so how can there be either prohibition or injunction?

But in order to achieve the state of oneness (tādātmya) (this kind of discipline) has been abandoned in the Kaula tradition because it teaches the means based on bliss (sukhopāya)”.
