Verses in Siva Gita similar to verses in Bhagavad Gita

Shiva Gita or Siva gItA (SG) is an authentic text with more than three commentaries written
on it. It is a part of padma purANa. In the 12th adhyAya, upAsanA GYAna phala, we find
verses similar to BG 9.25. Infact SG is more clearly explains the meaning of these verses.
Before going to chapter 12, lets have a look at chapter 11, which forms the basis of asking
questions on saguNa upAsanA. In SG 11.45, bhagavAn Siva says to bhagavAn rAma that
.
[11.45]
He rAmachandra ! those who think nirguNa upAsanA (worship of formless, attributeless
brahman) is difficult, they should practice saguNa upAsanA (worship to any form of ISvara)
first. Anyone practicing saguNa upAsanA is not demoted to lower worlds (adhogatI) i.e. after
leaving physical body, jIva's movement will not be downwards - SG 11.45
(upAsanA = worship)
Meaning:
Those who find practising nirguNa upAsanA, they must first practise saguNa upAsanA. Souls
of those worshipping any form of ISvara will never move downwards (to lower worlds).
After this kathan (statement), bhagavAn rAma asks bhagavAn Siva (maheSvara) how to
practice upAsanA.

srI rAmachandra said - He deva of deva-s maheSvara (Siva) ! I prostate before you. Please
can you describe vidhi (step by step procedure) and describe time and space (place) i.e. in
which time and in which way upAsanA should be done. SG 12.1
Meaning:
Please explain in which way, at what time and place should upAsanA be done.

Isvara said (bhagavAn Siva said - He rAma ! I will explain to you the procedure of upAsanA
and will also tell you at which time and place it must be done. Listen with present
mindedness. All the devatA-s are my rUpa only (they are me only). In reality, they are not
different than me - SG 12.2-3
.
[4]

Those who are devotees of other devatA-s, and they faithfully worship these devatA-s, O
king ! they worship me with bheda buddhi (dual stand point) i.e. they consider these
devatA-s different than me - SG 12.4
.
[5]

Because in this entire world (samsAra), there is nothing except me, due to this reason, I am
enjoyer of all actions (kriyA-s) and also the giver of fruits of actions (phala) - SG 12.5
.
[6]
The one who worships (me) with whatever bhAva (spiritual emotion - sAttvika, rAjasika,
tAmasika or intention), I, in that form of devatA, give them fruits according their bhAva SG 12.6
Now, bhagAvan Siva goes one step further and says,
.
[7]

Those who worship me with vidhi (step by step procedure as ordained by SAstra-s), or
those who worship me without any vidhi, (avidhi upAsanA), or worships me by any way,
pleased with their devotion, I give them [appropriate] fruits [of their devotion] - SG 12.7
From this we can conclude that there is no difference between Siva and kruShNa. In
bhagavad gItA, kruShNa is playing the role of gUru and ISvara and in Siva gItA, Siva is
playing role of gUru and ISvara and bhagavAn rAma is playing the role of disciple for the
good of all.
