Divine truth is like sunlight, absolute, blinding, indivisible.
The soul is like a quiet floor in darkness, yearning, but unable to perceive that light.
Between them stands the Guru, not as an obstruction but as a coloured mirror, a living interface between para-brahma and jīva
What flows from the Supreme is pure jñāna, like white light, undifferentiated, ungraspable.

Sāṅkhyadarśanam — A Gateway to Mokṣa
Sāṅkhyadarśana begins with a deep intent to liberate beings drowning in duḥkhasāgara. The first sūtra proclaims:
Atha trividhaduḥkhātyantanivṛttis tṛtayo manuṣyapuruṣārthaḥ
The cessation of threefold duḥkha ādhyātmika, ādhibhautika, and ādhidaivika is declared as the highest puruṣārtha. Unlike temporary relief, Sāṅkhya aims at atyantanivṛtti, a complete and irreversible freedom from suffering.

God as the Ground of Dissolution
A subtle and contemplative way of approaching the existence of Īśvara is to understand Him not merely as the sraṣṭṛ, the originator of the cosmos, but more fundamentally as the ultimate adhikaraṇa, the ground into which all things resolve.
His role is not limited to the commencement of the world process but extends deeper into being the very point of its nivṛtti, its cessation or withdrawal. In this lies a more profound metaphysical significance.

Shaligram
There are Shaligram Shila and Fossil Ammonite.
Many calls Shaligram shila as Fossil Ammonite which isn't accurate.
In temples when we install any idol/pratima or murti it needs proper Karmakand, ways to call God and reside within that Idol called as Pranstaphana.
God enters in those Idol/murti & it turns to a Deity/God himself .There are few shila on this planets which needs no Pranstaphana. Few of them are. Genuine Shaligram are lord Narayan Manifested (Skand Puran)
