Someone stands within me with large red eyes and ripe coral lips, pearly white teeth and radiant dangling earnings shaped like Makara-fish. Dark as the rain-cloud, he wears a radiant crown, has four arms, and holds a beautiful bow, discus, conch, mace

The Lord in my heart is also in my body and in the world and beyond, Celestial Lord beyond pain and pleasure, he defies all definition. The celestials body of knowledge the glory of eternal joy, he has the nature of pure fragrant dew-fresh flowers

To attain by his grace that celestial body of knowledge, I placed him in my heart, that too by his sweet grace. He made me realise that consciousness, life, body and possessions are all useless, then became myself

The Lord who became me was there before all things and beings. The first-cause who cleaved himself, and became Brahma and Siva, -sweet as honey, milk and sugarcane juice, stands in my consciousness, in my life, and in my body. I have realised him

I have realised the permanent one, whose nature is so subtle, he cannot be spoken of as 'this' or 'that', much less be seen. Becoming finer and finer till nothing remains attached, he transcends good and bad, and transcends all knowledge

Go well beyond knowledge, and break the limit of the senses, contemplate the great endless continuum, repeadetly, contemplate the great endless continuum, repeatedly. Shed attachments and go beyond pain and plesure. That libertion, then and there, is the only one there is

Knowing this, with no attachments, empty yourself, for that indeed is liberation, and the joy of Heaven. Not knowing this, those who fire and ask, "What is liberation?", "Where lies joy?" will only fire and fire again

Kith and kin will hover around and wall, "He is going!", weep and fall and clutch your feet, as you depart, cutting through attachment and rising madness, if you can only go and join the Lord in your heart, that is well done!
