Shiva Purana

शिवसंसर्गतस्त्वेष शोध्यात्मैव हि शुध्यति ॥ अयस्यग्नौ समाविष्टे दाहो ऽग्नेरेव नायसः ॥ ४६ ॥

sanskrit

The Ātman alone is purified through the contact with Śiva. If the iron-rod is put in fire and heated, the burning is that of the fire, not of the iron-rod.

मूर्तात्मन्येवमैश्वर्यमीश्वरस्यैव नात्मनाम् ॥ न हि काष्ठं ज्वलत्यूर्ध्वमग्निरेव ज्वलत्यसौ ॥ ४७ ॥

sanskrit

The prosperity, glory etc. of the Mūrtyātmans is really that of lord Śiva and not of the Ātmans. It is the fire, not the fuel, that blazes upwards.

sanskrit

Because of the indwelling of Lord Śiva, one attains to Lord Śiva’s status. Friendship and other qualities are secondary and therefore you have different behaviors.

तैर्गुणैरुपरक्तानां दोषाय च गुणाय च ॥ यत्तु गौणमगौणं च तत्सर्वमनुगृह्णतः ॥ न गुणाय न दोषाय शिवस्य गुणवृत्तयः ॥ ५० ॥

sanskrit

Those who are not attached to these modes of nature are both faulty and virtuous. Whatever is secondary and not secondary is all done by the grace of the Lord. The virtuous instincts of Lord Shiva are neither for virtue nor for evil.
