What is the distinction between the 'Jiva' and 'Shiva' as mentioned in the text, and what role does the Guru play in this context?

As detailed in Chapter 27, the 'Jiva' is the individual soul limited by ignorance and ego, which knows very little. In contrast, 'Shiva' is the soul limited by Maya, who is egoless and all-knowing. The feeling of non-difference between these two can only be achieved through the Guru. The text states that only a capable King of Gurus knows how to remove this distinction. By surrendering the ego-driven mind at the Guru's feet, the devotee can overcome this duality and act according to divine inspiration, thus bridging the gap between the limited Jiva and the all-knowing Shiva.
