Sage Vyasa said (to the sages)



एतच्छिवपुराणं हि शिवस्यातिप्रियं परम् |
भुक्तिमुक्तिप्रदं ब्रह्मसंमितं भक्तिवर्द्धनम् || 50 ||
This Shiva Purana is really very highly dear to Lord Shiva. (It) gives enjoyments, liberation; (it) is similar to Brahma (the supreme element), and increases devotion.

Sage Vyasa said (to the sages)



एतच्छ्रुत्वा ह्येकवारं भवेत्पापं हि भस्मसात् |
अभक्तो भक्तिमाप्नोति भक्तो भक्तिसमृद्धिभाक् || 45 ||
पुनः श्रुते च सद्भक्तिर्मुक्तिस्स्याच्च श्रुतेः पुनः |
तस्मात्पुनःपुनश्चैव श्रोतव्यं हि मुमुक्षुभिः || 46 ||
On listening this (Shiva Purana) just once, sin reduces to ashes, a non-devotee obtains devotion, a devotee bears rich (a lot more) devotion.
And on listening again, (one gets) good devotion, and on listening again (a third time), liberation is achieved. Therefore, those who want liberation should really listen (to this Shiva Purana) again and again.

Upamanyu said (to Lord Krishna)



नास्ति ध्यानसमं तीर्थं नास्ति ध्यानसमं तपः |
नास्ति ध्यानसमो यज्ञस्तस्माद्ध्यानं समाचरेत् || 28 ||
There is no tirtha (place of pilgrimage) like meditation; there is no penance like meditation; there is no Yajna (sacrifice) like meditation; therefore meditation should be practised.

Upamanyu said (to Lord Krishna)



अत्यल्पोऽपि यथा दीपः सुमहन्नाशयेत्तमः |
योगाभ्यासस्तथाल्पोऽपि महापापं विनाशयेत् || 26 ||
Just as a lamp, even if extremely small, destroys great darkness, similarly, even a little practice of Yoga destroys great sin.
