सीतानाथ समारम्भां रामानन्दार्य मध्यमाम्।
अस्मदाचार्य पर्यन्तां वन्दे श्रीगुरू परम्पराम् ।।
People generally think of Lord Shiva = Adwait, but that's not correct as in Śrī Saṁpradāya whose lineage starts from Śrī SītāRām ( Ramanandis ) has a very next level love for Jagadguru Śrī Shiva;
Because of Lord Shiva only today peoples are able to listen and recite Śrīmad Rāmcharit Mānas as he is the author of that. Infact lord Shiva has also created one of the largest Rāmāyaṇa known as Śrīmad Maha-Rāmāyana (महा-रामायण) in 3,50,000 Shlokās even much bigger than Śrīmad Mahabharat but again this can't be made public as it is only for Rāsik Devotees of Lord Śrī SītāRām. (रामानंदियों ने सारे ग्रंथ छुपाकर ही रखे हैं).
They never public that as unauthorised people are present who will never able to understand Rasopāsna of Lord Śrī SītāRām.
But from that Śrīmad Maha-Rāmāyana I am providing few Shlokās which will clear your doubt regarding lord Shiva's take on Adwaita.
Śrīmad Maha-Rāmāyana, Canto 50, Shlokā 21–26;
श्रीरामं ये च हित्वा खलमति निरता ब्रह्मजीवं वदन्तिते मूढा नास्तिकास्ते शुभगुणरहिता सर्वबुद्धयातिरिक्ताः । पापिष्ठा धर्महीना गुरुजन विमुखा वेदशास्त्रे विरुद्धास्ते हित्वा गांगं रविकिरणजलं पान्तुमिच्छन्त्यतृप्ताः ॥ 21
Śrī Shiv ji says that O Parvati! Those who, abandoning devotion to Śrī Rām, fall in the trap of delusional dogmatists who say that the Jeev is Brahman, they are fools, atheists, devoid of auspicious qualities, devoid of religious deeds, alienated from teachers and against the Vedas. They want to quench their thirst by drinking dew drops, renouncing the pure water of Śrīmati Ganga Ji.
ये मर्त्या रामपादौ सुखप्रदविमलौ संविहायार्तबन्धोः ते मूढा बोध हेतुं घृतपरिघटने वारिमन्थानयुक्ताः । योब्रह्मास्मीति नित्यं वदन्ति हृदि विना रामचन्द्रांघ्रिपद्मंते बुद्धयात्यक्तपोतास्तृणपरिनिचये सिंधुमुग्रं तरन्ति ॥ 22 ॥
Those who abandoning the feet of Shri Raghunändan, leaving the humble and merciful Prarāti Haran Prabhu, keep on working hard only to get dry knowledge, they are like a fool who churns water to extract Ghee. In whose heart there is no abode of the lotus feet of Śrī Raghunändan; Only those who keep chanting "Aham Brahmasmi Aham Brahmasmi" are as brainless as one who abandons a strong ship and crosses the vast ocean on a bundle of grass.
ये केवलाद्वैत मतानुरक्ताः श्रीराममूर्तिं विमलां विहाय। ते स्वामहश्यां हरिदश्वमूर्तिम् पश्यन्ति मूढाः प्रतिबिम्ब कुम्भे॥ 23 ॥
Those who give up worshiping the pure idol of Śrī Rām and are devoted only to Adwait, they are as unintelligent as those who try to see the reflection of the sun falling in the water of a pitcher, without seeing the actual Suryanarayana.
ये रामभक्ति सुविहायरम्याम्ज्ञाने रताप्रतिदिनं परिक्लिष्ट मार्गे । श्रारान्महेन्द्रसुरभिं परिहृत्यमूर्खाअर्कं भजन्ति सुभगे सुख दुग्ध हेतोः ॥ 24 ॥
Those who abandon the most delightful devotion to Shri Rām and wander daily in the path of extremely painful knowledge, are like those who try to get milk by plucking Aak (Mandar) leaves, abandoning Kamdhenu who resides in the house.
त्यक्त्वा श्रीरघुनन्दनं परतरं सद्ज्ञानरूपं तथा- ब्रह्मण्येव वदन्ति ये सदसतोः पूर्णं सदाकाशवत् । ते वै तण्डुलहेतवे तुषमहो निधन्ति दुर्बुद्धयःछित्त्वामूलमुपाश्रयन्ति च दलं तैः सद्गुरुनकृतः॥ 25 ॥
Those who renounce the shelter of the feet of Sri Raghunath Ji, the Supreme Perfect Brahman, the perfect Sadgyān Swaroop, and tell the knowledge of the Aakash-like Brahman who is full of Sat and Asat , are like those who leave paddy for rice and only thresh straw and is as fool who cut down the root of a tree and seek comfort in the shade of its leaves.
किं वर्णयामि बिमले बहुभिः पुकारैः सीतापते र्विगतज्ञान विशेष सर्वम् । ज्ञानं तदेव कुसुमं च यथा न भोग्यं सत्यं वदामि च तदा न सुखं च स्वप्ने ॥ 26 ॥
Shri Shivaji says, O pure hearted Parvati! How much can I explain in many ways? Understand that anyone who wants to know any other tattva without knowing Sri Sitapati Lord Sri Rama can never attain happiness even in his dreams like one who desires to attain the flowers of the sky.
Please Chant SitaRam SitaRam SitaRam
