And what is mind
And how is it recognized?

Abhinavagupta: Kashmiri Shivanism

Abhinavagupta, called the "Mahamahesvara", or “great devotee of Siva”, is one of India's great philosophers.
He was born around 950 A.D. into a brahmin family noted for it’s mature devotion towards God. There are over 35 works to his credit, including “Tantraloka”, meaning Light on Tantra. This is the core text of Kashmiri Shaivism, written specifically at the request of his teacher, Sambhunatha.
