For him there is no dissolution even at the time of Final Dissolution

PART SEVEN

The Sahasrara

 

39. When the actions of the Yogi are, through the service of the

Lotus feet of his Guru, in all respects good, then he will see above

it (i.e., Ajna-cakra) the form of the Mahanada, and will ever hold in

the Lotus of his hand the Siddhi of Speech. The Mahanada, which is

the place of dissolution of Vayu is the half of Siva, and like the

plough in shape, is tranquil and grants boons and dispels fear, and

makes manifest pure Intelligence (Buddhi).

 

42. Well concealed, and attainable only by great effort, is that

subtle Bindu (Sunya) which is the chief root of Liberation and which

manifests the pure Nirvana-Kala with Ama-Kala. Here is the Deva who

is known to all as Parama-Siva. He is the Brahman and the Atma of all

beings. In Him are united both Rasa and Virasa, and He is the Sun

which destroys the darkness of nescience and delusion.

 

43. By shedding a constant and profuse stream of nectar-like essence,

the Bhagavan instructs the Yati of pure mind in the knowledge by

which he realizes the oneness of the Jivatma and the Paramatma. He

pervades all things as their Lord, who is the ever-flowing and

spreading current of all manner of bliss known by the name of Hamsah

Parama (Parama-hamsah).

 

44. The Saivas call it the abode of Siva; the Vaisnavas call it

Parama Purusa; others again, call it the place of Hari-Hara. Those

who are filled with a passion for the Lotus feet of the Devi call it

the excellent abode of the Devi; and other great sages (Munis) call

it the pure place of Prakrti-Purusa.

 

45. That most excellent of men who has controlled his mind and known

this place is never again born in the Wandering, as there is nothing

in the three worlds which binds him. His mind being controlled and

his aim achieved, he possesses complete power to do all which he

wishes, and to prevent that which is contrary to his will. He ever

moves towards the Brahman. His speech, whether in prose or verse, is

ever pure and sweet.

 

46. Here is the excellent (supreme) sixteenth Kala of the Moon. She

is pure, and resembles (in colour) the young Sun. She is as thin as

the hundredth part of a fibre in the stalk of a lotus. She is

lustrous and soft like ten million lightning flashes, and is down-

turned. From Her, whose source is the Brahman, flows copiously the

continuous stream of nectar (or, She is the receptacle of the stream

of excellent nectar which comes from the blissful union of Para and

Parâ).

 

47. Inside it (Ama-kala) is Nirvana-kala, more excellent than the

excellent. She is as subtle as the thousandth part of the end of a

hair, and of the shape of the crescent moon. She is the ever-existent

Bhagavati, who is the Devata who pervades all beings. She grants

divine knowledge, and is as lustrous as the light of all the suns

shining at one and the same time.

 

48. Within its middle space (i.e., middle of the Nirvana-kala) shines

the Supreme and Primordial Nirvana-Sakti; She is lustrous like ten

million suns, and is the Mother of the three worlds. She is extremely

subtle, and like unto the ten-millionth part of the end of a hair.

She contains within Her the constantly flowing stream of gladness,

and is the life of all beings. She graciously carries the knowledge

of the Truth (Tattva) to the mind of the sages.

 

49. Within Her is the everlasting place called the abode of Siva,

which is free from Maya, attainable only by Yogis, and known by the

name of Nityananda. It is replete with every form of bliss, and is

pure knowledge itself. Some call it the Brahman; others call it

Hamsa. Wise men describe it as the abode of Visnu, and righteous men

speak of it as the ineffable place of knowledge of the Atma, or the

place of Liberation.

 

PART EIGHT

The Kundalini

 

50. He whose nature is purified by the practice of Yama, Niyama, and

the like, learns from the mouth of his Guru the process which opens

the way to the discovery of the great Liberation. He whose whole

being is immersed in the Brahman then rouses the Devi by Hum-kara,

pierces the centre of the Linga, the mouth of which is closed, and is

therefore invisible, and by means of the Air and Fire (within him)

places Her within the Brahmadvara.

 

51. The Devi who is Suddha-sattva pierces the three Lingas, and,

having reached all the lotuses which are known as the Brahma-nadi

lotuses, shines therein in the fullness of Her lustre. Thereafter in

Her subtle state, lustrous like lightning and fine like the lotus

fibre, She goes to the gleaming flame-like Siva, the Supreme Bliss

and of a sudden produces the bliss of Liberation.

 

52. The wise and excellent Yogi rapt in ecstasy, and devoted to the

Lotus feet of his Guru, should lead Kula-Kundali [sic] along with

Jiva to her Lord the Para-siva in the abode of Liberation within the

pure Lotus, and meditate upon Her who grants all desires as the

Caitanya-rupa-Bhagavati. When he thus leads Kula-Kundalini, he should

make all things absorb into Her.

 

53. The beautiful Kundali [sic] drinks the excellent red nectar

issuing from Para-Siva, and returns from there where shines Eternal

and Transcendent Bliss in all its glory along the path of Kula, and

again enters the Muladhara. The Yogi who has gained steadiness of

mind makes offering (Tarpana) to the Ista-devata and to the Devatas

in the six centres (Cakra), Dakini and others, with that stream of

celestial nectar which is in the vessel of Brahmanda, the knowledge

whereof he has gained through the tradition of the Gurus.

 

54. The Yogi who has after practice of Yama, Niyama, and the like,

learnt this excellent method from the two Lotus Feet of the

auspicious Diksa-guru, which are the source of uninterrupted joy, and

whose mind (Manas) is controlled, is never born again in this world

(Samsara). For him there is no dissolution even at the time of Final

Dissolution. Gladdened by constant realization of that which is the

source of Eternal Bliss, he becomes full of peace and foremost among

all Yogis.

 

55. If the Yogi who is devoted to the Lotus Feet of his Guru, with

heart unperturbed and concentrated mind, reads this work which is the

supreme source of the knowledge of Liberation, and which is

faultless, pure, and most secret, then of a very surety his mind

dances at the Feet of his Ista-devata.
