Shiva is infinite...
The nature of Shiva is often described as beyond human comprehension. He is seen as the ultimate reality, transcending all forms and concepts. This aspect of the divine is often referred to as "Nirguna Brahman," meaning the formless, attributeless Absolute. Shiva is considered to be beyond words, concepts, and limitations, and thus, cannot be fully explained or understood by human intellect alone.
