I am paraphrasing the Bhagavad Gita.
Your example of not having choice is good, it is our nature or karma as to whom we worship.
And the Gita isn't a Saiva scripture, so I wouldn't know about that.

श्री कृष्णा शरणं मम
Indeed... see this representation of Goddess, the Tridevi (l. to r. Lakshmi, Parvati, Saraswati). She is the divine and universal Mother.
Ya Devi sarva bhuteshu Matri rupena samsthita
Ya Devi sarva bhuteshu Shakti rupena samsthita
Ya Devi sarva bhutesu Shanti rupena samsthita
Namastasyai Namastasyai Namastasyai Namaho namah
A small part of a much longer stotram...
O Goddess, who is present everywhere, who is the embodiment of Universal Mother.
O Goddess, who is present everywhere, who is the embodiment of Power and Energy.
O Goddess, who is present everywhere, who is the embodiment of Peace.
I bow to You, I bow to You, I bow to You.
Jai Maa! Love that picture!
