The entire creation – sun, moon, stars, air, cloud, water, earth is made up of one substance. Everything is made up of One thing. That One thing is called Shiva. 

Shiva is the entire universe. Shiva tattva (essence) is from where everything has come, everything is sustained and into which everything dissolves.
