Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Cittam mantra 1. Here (i.e. in Saktopaya) by intensive awareness the mind of a yogi becomes Mantra. Comment In Saktopaya (meditating in the heart) that yogi sees mantra arising from the depths of Consciousness itself. What appears is the root or first letter of the alphabet, (of the first language that the yogi learned as a child) surrounded by a glowing light. This letter is not written on anything. It is as if it exists in its own space. The effulgence, which emanates from it, is surrounded by infinite Void. Meditation in the heart consists in sitting in the sure knowledge that all things arise from the same source and that all things are the same thing - the way to this surety is via understanding the nature of omnipresence. Such understanding as that is omniscience; The acquisition of omniscience consists in the deep recognition that omnipresence cannot be added to - or taken away from it is thus acceptance. Holding such an understanding as that in meditation is Saktopaya. Prayatnan Sadhakah 2. The cause of attaining this Mantra is one's own effort. Comment Will is used to hold the heart center. Such a heart as this is not anything like the human heart it is to hold the heart (to hold the center of all things) in meditation. (the center of all things, the heart - is the sameness of all that exists.) Thus when visions arise - when thoughts arise - when Void is realized - when the senses report to the mind - these must be known as arising from the same source along with language. This is done with the will, all things are held with a grip of iron, as coming from the same place - then kriyas and mudras will rise in the body - these too arise from the same - yet in the case of the body - it is not to hold it rigid, but too allow the kriyas etc. while keeping the inner attention focused upon the heart. Vidyasarirasatta mantrarahasyam 3. The state of totality of knowledge is the secret of Mantra Comment Mantra could be called concept - not a concept - but "Concept Itself". Matrka (the science of mantra or the act of conceptualisation) gives birth to the Universe, which is perceived (designated) as this and that - so also is it with concept. Letters are Mantra; Number is concept as are letters. Thus all Mantra. The number One begets infinity. Letter begets language and therefore conception/perception. Siva is born from this. One begets infinity. Omnipresence is self-begotten. Grabhe cittavikaso visistavidyasvapnah 4. When a yogi's mind remains satisfied in cosmic powers, his Samadhi is as good as ordinary dreaming state. Comment If such a yogi is satisfied by manifestation in this or that state or world, his Samadhi has stupefied him. The bliss arising from Samadhi can in this way make one drunk, one can become addicted to the pleasure, which arises in the body and lose the way in that experience. Instead a yogi should understand that realization of the ocean of Consciousness does not occur in any body at all - it occurs in itself. In this way where is Samadhi? Who is in Samadhi? Certainly not that awakened one. Vidyasamutthane svabhavike khecari sivavastha 5. At the rise of natural (pure) Supreme Knowledge, the State of Siva residing in the Ether of God-Consciousness, is attained. Comment At that moment, Siva is known in his true form, in himself. One actually sees Siva looking at him in meditation. Such a yogi knows he has attained the truth - at that moment Siva is known as the cosmos itself. At that moment Consciousness expands beyond time itself. Siva with form disappears - immediately consciousness is seen to permeate the entire cosmos, things appear in that yogis awareness surrounded by a blue scintillating aura that has its source deep inside the manifested thing. That yogi also sees his own body bathed in the same light arising from Consciousness in the same way. Yogi and Siva are non-different then. Then by grace, that very Siva just might enter that yogi's very body! Gururupayah 6. For such attainment, the means is the Master, the Guru. Comment That Guru is the heart of Siva. Such a master as that is nothing but the Will. Matrkacakrasambodhah 7. When the master is pleased, the disciple attains the knowledge of the wheel of Universal Mother. Comment Upon the mastery of the senses - i.e. when they are held perfectly in check in meditation when meditation in the heart is mastered The mother (Kali) reveals herself. At that moment that one must throw oneself into her mouth- not fearing death - knowing she is exactly like omnipresence - she too is Siva - she too is consciousness. Upon her coming great fear may arise - yet do not fear that fear - hold to the heart knowing success is close at hand. Upon this act of jumping into her mouth know that by this act success is sure. Because it signifies faith. Here the great lotus will bloom in the Sahasra - offer it to her, She is then very pleased indeed. Yet the mastery of the senses remains impossible for the yogi who does not know how to invert them. Hence see the file on Inverting the Senses Sariram havih 8. For such attainment a yogi offers all his three bodies of wakefulness, dreaming and dreamlessness as oblations into the fire of Universal GodConsciousness. Comment That yogi must offer all to the mother. At that moment her eyes may fall upon such a yogi they will look out of fiery pits full of flame framed by sockets of solid fire those eyes show infinite time - they show eternal knowership - they are indescribable. Truly this will come about, that mother will see thee! Jnanam aunam 9. For him the differentiated knowledge is the food he assimilates into undifferentiated knowledge or the undifferentiated knowledge constitutes his food yielding him fullness and peace in his own nature. Comment Such a yogi goes about seeming a normal being however whatever is there-after perceived is seen as consciousness at the moment of perception. Fuelling the realization with eternal consciousness thereafter consciousness could be said to feed upon consciousness - that yogi knows this. Such as that fills that yogi to overflowing in all directions - that yogi cannot contain himself anymore - consciousness oozes from his every pore. Consciousness permeates him like water permeates a cloth placed in water. Vidyasamhare tadutthasvapna-darsanam 10. By stepping out of his own nature of true knowledge, at the time of entering into GodConsciousness, i.e. Turiya, he ill-fatally enters into dreaming state. Comment If for a single moment that yogi steps out of his true nature misfortune falls upon him because he immediately falls asleep and enters the dream again. That yogi must remain awake in the heart always thereafter. ~~~~~~~~ namaste .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
