Gall bladder flush

https://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/flushes.html


Liver Stones
"Flush" proponents claim that liver stones are common, and one has even stated that 99.95% of cancer patients have them [8]. However, stones within the small liver ducts are very rare, at least in Western communities, as might be expected because the bile produced by the liver is 5-10 times less concentrated than gallbladder bile. Small stones released by the gallbladder will occasionally drift into a liver duct. Otherwise stones mainly only develop in the liver ducts secondary to other serious biliary pathology such as strictures, choledochal cysts or bile duct cancers. Their rarity, even in patients known to be prone to stone formation is illustrated by a recent study on patients with gallstones but with no other biliary problems [7]. Only 3.5% of such patients were found to have stones in the bile ducts when imaging studies (cholangiography) were performed during their surgery. At least 95% of such stones were in the main bile duct, usually beyond the entrance of the gallbladder duct. Cholangiography can detect stones as small as 1-2 mm in the narrow liver ducts.
Are the Flushes Safe?
In patients with reasonable health and no complicating factors, flushes are generally safe. Consuming fatty foods may carry a comparable risk of stones getting stuck in the wrong place and provoking biliary colic or complications such as acute pancreatitis. Similar concerns once applied to gallstone dissolution using ursodeoxycholic acid and to the shattering of gallstones with shock wave lithotripsy, but in practice complications are fewer than expected. I cannot recall yet seeing any reports of harm from a gallbladder/liver flush.
The greatest risk may apply to those who postpone surgery despite being at risk of major complications i.e. those with regular symptoms or who have recovered from potentially lethal complications such as acute pancreatitis or acute cholangitis (bile duct infection).
One woman who complained that her gallstones were unchanged on ultrasound despite three apparently fruitful flushes was advised that to up to 25 flushes may be needed. The above considerations suggest that very, very few will succeed no matter how many times they flush.

I have an old post on how to deal with gallstones, but it is not allowing me to post links here. If you go to Curezone then look in the support forums for my forum, The Truth in Medicine, and type in gallstones in the search for my forum there will be a post titled Gallstones and the myth of "liver flushes". There is a list of various things that can be done to eliminate gallstones.

Insulin resistance was positively associated with hyperbileacidemia in both nondiabetic and diabetic population. The increase in the bile acid level in insulin-resistant population regardless of status of diabetes and glucose level indicated the important role of insulin resistance in the regulation of bile acid metabolism in human

Bile acid (BA) was demonstrated to exert variety of metabolic effects besides the known role in cholesterol homeostasis. Increasing amount of studies have proposed that the bile acid (BA) was involved in glucose metabolism homeostasis.– Animal studies have denoted that glucose induces cholesterol bile acid synthesis via insulin signaling and epigenetic mechanisms. Circulating insulin was reported to induce the CYP7A1 gene in diabetic mice, a gene mainly controlled BA synthesis in hepatocytes, which leads to higher level of circulating BA.– Meanwhile, BA could promote secretion of incretin in the digestive tract, which in turn improved glucose tolerance, promoted insulin release, and increased insulin sensitivity.–
It is important to note that to date most of these findings on the association between insulin sensitivity and bile acid have indeed been observed in mouse models., Therefore, it is not well known whether alterations in BAs also occur in humans; inconsistent results were seen in the few human studies. In some studies, total bile acid (TBA) in serum or plasma was unchanged in type 2 diabetes (T2D) in comparison to controls., Whereas in other study, BA were found increased in diabetic population., Hence, given the unclear interaction between circulating insulin and BA in the progression of diabetes, it is important to understand the role of circulating insulin in BA in human. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate the association between insulin sensitivity and TBA concentrations in a Chinese population. Furthermore, we investigated this correlation in both diabetic and nondiabetic participants
This study demonstrated that the total bile acid level was positively associated with insulin resistance in both nondiabetic and diabetic population aged 40 years or older. In the multiple stepwise regression analysis, insulin resistance was demonstrated to be positively associated with hyperbileacidemia in both groups. Furthermore, this association was demonstrated to be independent of status of diabetes, indicating the important role of insulin resistance in the regulation of bile acid metabolism in both diabetic and non-diabetic participants.
At present, the physiologic mechanism of relationship between insulin resistance and hyperbileacidemia has not been fully clarified. In rodents model, insulin signaling is known to inactivate the forkhead box transcription factor O1 (FoxO1), the later were reported to inhibit cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), a key enzyme in bile acid synthesis, by blocking the HNF4 interaction with PGC-1 suggesting that insulin inhibit FoxO1 binding to the CYP7A1 gene promoter and results in induction of CYP7A1 gene expression and bile acid synthesis. Other studies demonstrated that insulin would increase level of BA due to insulin resistance characteristic of diabetes through elevating the hydroxylase.,, Furthermore, some bile salt hydrolase, which was reported to specifically degrade bile acid, is inactive in the gut microbial environment of mice with obesity and diabetes. In turn, BA could improve insulin sensitivity via reducing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Insulin were also reported to induce the CYP7A1 gene and bile acid synthesis in primary human hepatocytes,– which were in line with our results in population research. The result of our study that the bile acid level increases in insulin-resistant population indicated the important role of insulin resistance in the regulation of bile acid metabolism in human.
Our result was also consistent with other human studies. It has been reported that bile acid pool and fecal bile acids are elevated in diabetic patients with uncontrolled hyperglycemia. Haeusler et al revealed that in their healthy subjects, insulin resistance was associated with increased BA (cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, and their conjugated forms). In T2DM patients, BA was revealed to be nearly 2-fold higher compared with healthy subjects. Interestingly the fasting insulin had no significant relationship with BA in 35 diabetic patients of their study.
In our study, TBA was positively associated with insulin resistance.

Glycemic control follows a continuum from normal glucose tolerance to impaired glucose tolerance/prediabetes to type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes is defined by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE)/American College of Endocrinology (ACE) as impaired fasting glucose (FPG 100–125 mg/dL) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (2-h post-stimulation [with 75 g glucose] 140–199 mg/dL) (28,29). Individuals with prediabetes are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (by 5- to 15-fold) (30) and are also at increased cardiovascular risk (31,32). Early control of hyperglycemia is important, since type 2 diabetes begins to develop 5–20 years before diagnosis, at which time there is marked insulin resistance, increased endogenous glucose production, and progressive β-cell failure (33). Identifying and managing prediabetes may have the potential to reduce the significant morbidity and mortality associated with type 2 diabetes by slowing or preventing its progression (29).

Bile acids are detergent molecules—synthesized



from cholesterol in the liver—that are released


into the gut upon feeding and are essential for



digestion.1 In the intestine, bile acids function in the solubilization



and absorption of fats, certain vitamins, and



cholesterol.2 After feeding, bile acids re-enter the liver by



way of the portal vein together with digested nutrients

and are recirculated into the gall bladder for use during

the next feeding cycle.3 When retained within the liver



because of impaired secretion into the bile canaliculi, bile


acids are also known to have hepatocellular toxicity both


in vivo and in vitro.4–8

about insulin index

Diabetes occurs when our fat stores become too full, and they can no longer expand and contract to absorb and release the food from our meals, and the excess energy spills into the bloodstream.  Increasing the nutrient:energy ratio of our food will allow us to get the nutrients we need with less energy which will, in turn, help us to achieve and maintain an optimal body fat level.

bicarbonate and pancreas




https://www.livestrong.com/article/529958-diabetes-sodium-bicarbonate/



Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy

Diabetics over age 6 experiencing ketoacidosis can consume sodium bicarbonate to neutralize body fluid acidity if taken in correct dosages prescribed by a doctor.
A body fluid pH level greater than 7.0 reactivates insulin, resumes glucose metabolism and halts lipolysis and proteolysis, which eliminates the need for sodium bicarbonate.
Although sodium bicarbonate treatments reduce extracellular acidity, it can increase intracellular acidity. Sodium bicarbonate treatments reduce serum potassium levels, which can reduce cardiac contractility and illicit irregular cardiac electrical activity. Sodium bicarbonate therapy may delay the removal of ketones from the blood and, unless kidney function is compromised, is not necessary to treat ketoacidosis.

Baking Soda – True Enemy of the Pharmaceutical Industry

Sodium Bicarbonate, otherwise known as baking soda, is enjoying the spotlight as researchers begin to study baking soda and cancer. Known for many years as the cure for all things fungal, baking soda is now taking center stage in many studies around the world. That focus is bringing to the fore the concept that cancer and fungal infections go hand in hand.

“When taken orally with water, especially water with high magnesium content, and when used transdermally in medicinal baths, sodium bicarbonate becomes a first-line medicinal for the treatment of cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, influenza and even the common cold. And importantly, it is also a powerful buffer against radiation exposure, so everyone should be up to speed on its use.”

Bicarbonate deficiency is the most unrecognized medical condition on earth even though it is extraordinarily common.Problems from acid pH levels (relative deficiency in bicarbonate ions) take a large toll from human physiology and the more acid a person gets the larger the problem for cell physiology. Every biochemical reaction is pH sensitive with enzymes being especially sensitive. Our diet plays an important role in maintaining appropriate pH levels in the body.

Most modern diets give rise to unhealthy acidic pH conditions. An imbalanced pH will interrupt cellular activities and functions to extreme levels as ph drops further. Excessive acidic pH leads to cellular deterioration which eventually brings on serious health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and heartburn. The fact that the biological life functions best in a non-acidic (alkaline) environment speaks miles about the usefulness of baking soda.

“I have used intravenous sodium bicarbonate therapy mostly as a naturopathic treatment for patients who consistently react to allergens or that have chemical sensitivities. This is a great therapy during the Vancouver allergy seasons of spring and fall. The alkalinizing sodium bicarbonate IV can often immediately stop an allergic reaction, or asthmatic attack, since such reactions cannot persist in an alkaline environment. Some of my patients also get benefit from taking an alkalinizing drink every night to reduce their chemical sensitivity symptoms,” writes Dr Eric Chan. “All of my Vancouver and Richmond patients have tolerated this therapy markedly well.”

Below is an article written from the wonderful book ‘Sodium Bicarbonate – Rich Man’s Poor Man’s Cancer Treatment – Second Edition’ by Mark Sircus, AC., OMD. I felt it was a good idea to share this information so please be sure to check it out -with an open mind of course. It is understandable how this can seem fa fetched but there are a number of well known natural cancer treatments that are working today that mainstream medicine refuses to talk about.

Hi Stephen thanks for the question and happy to confirm that YES i do now eat nuts! Having been through some ups and downs with regard to using myself as a guinea pig it is clear that nuts are a vital component in the nutritional element as although they contain small amounts of Methionine (not great for Cancer) , Nuts are also a good source of dietary fibre and provide a wide range of essential nutrients, including several B group vitamins (including folate), vitamin E, minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, potassium and magnesium, antioxidant minerals (selenium, manganese and copper), plus other phytochemicals such as antioxidant compounds (flavonoids and resveratrol) and plant sterols. So ignoring these is missing out on vital vits and minerals and are easy to eat and snack on between meals. Try to major of the healthiest of the nuts though like Almonds: protein, calcium and vitamin E Brazil nuts: fibre and selenium: just two brazil nuts a day provides 100% RDI for selenium for an adult Cashews: non haem (plant based) iron and a low GI rating Chestnuts: low GI, fibre and vitamin C (although much vitamin C is lost during cooking) Hazelnuts: fibre, potassium, folate, vitamin E Macadamias: highest in monounsaturated fats, thiamin and manganese Pecans: fibre and antioxidants Pine nuts: vitamin E and the arginine amino acid Pistachios: protein, potassium, plant sterols and the antioxidant resveratrol Walnuts: alpha linoleic acid: plant omega 3 and antioxidants Hope that helps Stephen but try to minimise the humble highly "processed" peanuts and the ones that are treated with honey, sugar and salts and usually with a pile of additives

Thirumantiram

https://www.himalayanacademy.com/media/books/tirumantiram/web/Tantra_1.html

"WANDERING COWS,WITHOUT COWHERD"
Body elements are five:
Body senses are five:
Consciousness are five, Body consciousness, prana consciousness, mind consciousness, knowledge consciousness, and spiritual consciousness
But if cowherd, inner Nanthi  controls all five, then Manna dew overflow..

That's the superficial meaning. There is another meaning which should be understood.
1st Line: Says that in a seer's house there are five cows (Pancha budha's). The second word 'Agathiley' means, not inside the house; but inside a person (Agam-inside; Puram-outside) the house is compared to a person here. The five 'cows' are the five "pulans" the five "senses" (sensory organs and its functions:- Eyes - Vision,Reflexes - Feel/Touch, Ears - Hear, Tongue - Taste & Nose - Smell). So within a person exists the five senses.
2nd Line: There is no cattleman to control the animal. Because there is nobody (or nothing) to control them, they just roam "uncontrollably", here the five senses untamed, lead us to temptations! The five senses are untamed and roam uncontrollably. The five senses untamed is no less than a ferocious animal
3rd Line: If you know 'how to control' and if the 'rage' settles down,
4th Line: When the cows are tended by a cattleman all those five 'cows' will yield milk. Here the verses say that if all the five senses are controlled by a person it help one to get the "thiruvarul" which means "divine grace" (The five pulans are meant to be controlled to realise God) This is the actual meaning of the song.
If the five 'pulans' control us it means it is untamed whereas if we control the five senses it means it is tamed. If these 'cows' are controlled then they yield 'milk'. Or if one can control the five 'pulans'/ 'senses', then that will lead one to God's Anuboodhi (being with God).



In short, the Tirumandiram, strongly emphasizes on Love is God, (Anbey Sivam).[5]

The Tirumantiram is divided into nine chapters, 9 tantras (tantirams);

  • 1. Philosophical views and divine experience, impermanency of the physical body, love, education etc.
  • 2. Shiva's glory, His divine acts, classification of souls etc.
  • 3. Yoga practices according to the eight-angled way of Patanjali.
  • 4. Mantra, tantra, etc.
  • 5. Various branches of Saiva religion; the four elements of Shaiva Siddhanta.
  • 6. Shiva as guru bestowing grace and the devotee's responsibility.
  • 7. Shiva linga, Shiva worship, self-control.
  • 8. The stages of soul experience .
  • 9. Panchadsara manthiram, Shiva's dance, the state of samadhi, etc.

The poems have a unique metrical structure, each line consisting of 11 or 12 syllables depending on the initial syllable. Tirumular discusses the four steps of spiritual progress; Charya, Kriya, Yoga and Gnana, the Shaiva Siddhanta concept of Pati, Pasu and Pasa where Pati stands for Lord shiva, Pasu stands for the human kind and Pasa stands for Maya (the desire), sadhana, Vedanta, the Upanishadic Tat tvam asi and other Vedantic concepts, the transcendental reality as emptiness (Sunya) devoid of any attribute and Tantrasastra (Shakti worship), chakras, magic spells and their accessories.

312: God Abides not in the Hearts of Unlearned

Things transitory you fix in heart as abiding joys,

This mnortal body frail you deem as enduring stuff;

Though the Lord God all life pervades,

Absent is He and His Light from the hearts of the unlearned.


313: Unlearned Descend to Hell

Of all power bereft, I fell into Karma's griefs,

Learning not Hara's ways, into dark abysmal depths I fell;


I learnt not to stamp the Great Benefactor in my heart,

I learnt only to dance down the primrose path to hell.

314: Unlearned Sport in Carnal Pleasures

Knowing full well that life is a fleeting, vaporous mist,

The truly learned seek the path of Dharma and penance strict,

But the not-learned, in truth, this world's sordid knaves,

Sport in carnal joys, with Karmic misery mixt.


316: Unlearned Do Not See Him

Without knowing the 36 tattvas and their scope

It is not possible to have a vision of the supreme,

Only by knowing the tattvas wisdom can dawn,

Only those are educated who go to the limits of the tattvas and have a vision of reality.


317: Avoid The Unlearned
The fools, of learning devoid, unfit for us even to see
The fools, of learning devoid, their words unfit to hear
The fools, of learning devoid, in fools find their friends,
The fools, of learned devoid, to wisdom come no near.


318: The Truly Learned Have Vision Of Sivajnana
Though learned, fools are they if with Sivajnana they're not acquainted,
If kith and kin they give not up nor strike at root of ignorance
As their eyes turn not to quarters
They alone truly reckon who, wise in love, win the truth.



319: True Learning Brings Light Divine
The being first, even to the immortals the light divine,
The light that devotees seek, the great god supreme
Some proudly claim that learning well, they know him truly well
Yet they catch not of his light the faintest gleam.


320: Middle Path Is Wisdom
Unless you in middle path stand, wisdom you have not,
To those who in middle path stand, hell opens not its gate,
Those that in middle path stand, heavenly beings are they;
In the noble fellowship of the just, I too walked in their way.


324: Drunkards Lose Sense Of Right And Wrong
The cow fed on broth of rice wanders not from tank to tank
The cow denied its drink of broth grows weak and lank
Who swill the toddy neat, from righteousness go astray
Truest drink is Sivananda, the bliss supreme, far and away.


326: The Wicked Drink In Vama Tantra
Lust and drink, fit for the wicked are they;
In ritual unholy they drink and lose the senses
But the wise drink the nectar streaming from his feet,
Which destroys egoism and bigotry.

328: Truth Eludes Drunkards
They see not the inner truth, know not the pasu-pasa,
They dwell not in the bounteous lord's divine grace;
In the clear light of wisdom, Sivayoga they seek not,
They, who soak in liquors, truth never can appraise.


329: Followers Of False Religion Neither Seek Nor See Him
The fools who swear by the faith that our senses numbs,
Who yield to the heady joys of drink - they neither seek nor see
Mamaya's home, for the maya's fetters are they bound;
But recovered from maya's hold, they merge in the lord and are free.


330: Wine Stupefies Senses And Destroys Truth

The fumes of wine stupor bring and destroy the truth,

And make us seek the false, delusive joys of lust;

Such advance not to wisdom true, of sweet reason compact,

Will such e'er attain the eternal bliss truest?


331: Joys Of Sivananda Nectar

In meditation lost, rid of the cycle of night and day,

Dead to outward things, they drink not the bliss-nectar

The bliss of the lord's feet that neither night nor day knoweth,

I, caught in maya causing night and day, struggle to reach.


332: True Sakti Worship Seeks Divine Nectar
Sakti seeking, some religious sects ritual drinks consume,
But Sakti dies when the o'er- powered senses swoon;
True Sakti, indeed, in Sivajnanan finds its birth,
To merge in truth-wisdom-bliss - and to other things immune.


333: Sakthi And Siva Are One
If Sakthan his grace imparts, Sakti's grace we have,
If Sakti her grace imparts, Sakthan's grace we gain,
Sakti and Siva, if both in heart we hold,
Then in us, truly, the siddhis eight do shine.


334: Divine Nectar Leads to Siddhis
All Tattvas and egoity past, Truth of self realised,
In truest joy immersed, of false penances void,
Rid of worldly lure, drunk full of Heavenly Bliss,
This indeed is Siddhi true and Sivananda unalloyed.


335: Yogis Seek Ambrosia of the Cranial Moon
The yogis who, breath in control held, yearn for
The nectared delights of Contemplation's Moon,
The eight Siddhis they seek; but witless fools are they
Who to toddy yield and in its heady joys let their senses swoon.


336: Drink Divine Nectar in Samadhi
Open and drink deep the nectar that gushes from the spring;
Unfold the petals of the Holy Master's Lotus Feet;
Lead the Yoga-breath through the spiring channel up
And thus in Samadhi ascending,
Reach the Divine Good in holy meet.


115: Pati (God), Pasu (Soul) and Pasa (World) are Eternal
They speak of the Three--Pati, Pasu and Pasa;
Beginningless as Pati, Pasu and Pasa are:
But the Pasu-Pasa nears not the Pati supreme:
Let but Pati touch! the Pasu-Pasa is as naught.
116: He Shattered Impurities Three--Egoity, Illusion and Karma
Like the spark that within the bamboo indwells,
So, Nandi Lord, from this body-temple flamed;
With sweet compassion gentler than a mother's,
He shattered the Impurities Three
And like unto the sun on the ocean of mercy arose.
117: At His Glance, Impurities Vanish
The sunstone sleeps in cotton enclosed,
The sunstone burns not the fragile stuff;
Let but the sun's rays fall! How it shrivels and flames!
Even so the impure wilts before the Lord's cathartic glance.


118: He Broke Into My Soul's Silent Depths
"All impurities we shall expell," said the Lord in Grace
And saying so, from Sadsiva of the Five Spheres came down,
In the sovereign Sabha through His Five Acts Divine,
He broke into my soul's silent depths, Knowing all.


119: He Made Sensory Consciousness Merge in God Consciousness
Consciousness hanging on to the senses five,
Knowing not its course as on deep waters drifting,--
Consciousness sensory merging in the Consciousness deep,--
Thus He pointed the Way,--He, the Guru Supreme.


120: He Roasted the Seeds of Recurring Births
Like unto the swan that from milk the water parts,
So the Lord, Himself, alone, in this Sabha unique,
Grasped the senses many that scorch like fire,
And thus the Seven Births unto roasted seeds rendered.


121: Sivayogins Attain Turiya State in Mortal Body
Sivayogins are they that the seed destroy,
Who, in waking state, the pure awareness induce;
Who in harmony unbroken, achieve the tranced breath,
When life, senses, body--alike simulate death.
122: Sivayoga is to Attain Self-Lumination
Sivayoga it is to know the Cit-Acit,
And for the Yoga-Penance qualify;
Self-light becoming Self,
To enter undeviating, His lordly domain;
He granted me this--Nandi of the Nine Yogas.


126: They Walk Into Light of Siva
Ascending thus the steps,
Thirty and six of Freedom's ladder high,
Into the peerless Light of Bliss they walked;
And Siva, the inexplicable, they saw--
Having seen, realized and so stayed.


129: Sleeping Still They Perceive
Sleeping, in themselves they saw Siva's World,
Sleeping, in themselves they saw Siva's Yoga,
Sleeping, in themselves they saw Siva's Bhoga,
How then describe the minds
Of those who sleeping saw?


134: Silentness of Waveless Thought
Like the ghee subtly latent in purest milk,
Into the waveless Thought the Lord in silentness speaks;
They who, in silentness realise, this mortal coil shuffled,
Purity they become, in Limitless Light mingling.


135: When the Five Senses Take Cit's Way, They Reach Cit

When the senses Five, sound commencing, Cit's way take,

Where shall the Cit go but to the Cit?

In space light mingles but with Light,

Note this, as doth salt in the sea vast.


136: Jiva Lies Enclosed in Siva
The fierce rays of the sun beating upon the water,
The incontained salt does in crystal shapes emerge;
Even as that salt is in the water contained,
So does Jiva in Siva lie enclosed.


140: Seek His Grace, the Senses Get Controlled
Surely then the senses five under your control come,
Surely then the senses five back to their native homes retreat,
Surely then the senses five change their course,
If, alone, you seek the sole felicity of our Lord's perfect Grace.


183: Subdue the Senses, Birth Cycle Ends
The five needles thick, this bag of senses holds
The five needles thick in this bestial body roam free;
If the five needles thick you tame and subdue,
No more this bag that life's cycle involves.


194: Lord is the Light Beyond Visible Reach
The bee, that nectar seeks, flies high for its flower on top
And there, alone, it sucks the fragrant juice;
Even so, they who seek the blessed grace divine,
Aspire for the Light beyond visible reach of eyes.

343: The Lord Burnt the Cities Three
The Primal Lord,
Who on His matted crimson locks
Wears Ganga's water sacred,
He destroyed the Cities Three
--Thus say the ignorant;
The Three Cities are the Triple Impurities
It is them He burnt
Who knows this truth thereof?


345: The Lord Scorched the God of Death

The Kundalini Fire coiled in Muladhara

Upward He coursed it to Hollow on top;

That Fiery Yoga Way He scorched the God of Death

That was at Kadavoor, the holy shrine here below.


357: The Lord Comes to Those Who Seek Him in Yoga Way
While the heavenly Beings sang of Him
As seated in rapture serene,
He came rushing
To me along the highway of bliss that opened up
As from Muladhara the Kundalini fire shot up
To the crimson spheres of Sahasrara
In the way that is yoga.


381: Act of Creation by the Primal One

Paraparam that has neither Beginning nor End,

In pure Consciousness consorted with Paraparai

And in that Light Pure arose Param;

And from union of Param with Parai immaculate

Was Nada born.





382: Creation Continues
Nada united with Bindu
From the union of Nada-Bindu
Was Siva and Sakti born;
From them evoluted the three--
Jnana, Kriya and Iccha;
Iccha then sought union with Bindu.


383: Latent Maya Evolutes

From thence evoluted Maya

Latent in Sakti like lustre in crystal

Mighty its power

Beyond power of speech to recount.



392: As Light Within Brahma, the Primal One Creates


A rare Ruby--He is easy of reach,


The One Lord--He is easy of love,


He is the light within Brahma;


And now I know why the Creator does it easy so.



427: Four Forms of Death
When but birth--impediment uprooted,
Daily Death is unto Fated Death
And Fated Death unto Pure Death
And Pure Death unto Redemption Death
In that alone is the Truth--Jiva becoming Siva.

431: He is Within You Yet You Know Him Not
He is the One within; He is the Light within;
He moves not a wee bit from within
He and your heart are thus together,
Though, the heart His Form knows not.




432: The Lord Gave This Life

The Lord who gave life so sweet

Imprisoned me in pasas miseries;

A skeletal frame He fashioned,

With flesh and skin He clothed it;

Lighting then the spark of life

To annihilation He hastened me.


452: The Lord Grants Breath and the Child is Born

Above the Muladhara

The Kundalini fire abides;

There in the water-filled womb

The infant lay, its tiny feet entangled;

That the sweet life in patience waiting

Its onward course may seek,

He ordained, releasing the Pranas ten.


Those who are of Egoity Impure rid

Are the truly realised beings (no more are they Jivas).494


511: Men of False Faith do not See Lord Within
The Lord is within them,
Yet they know Him not,
They of faith false;
Limitless the flow of their evil deeds;
Down down the deep drain it goes,
Never its destination to know.



551: Ashtanga Yoga Leads to Samadhi and to Jnana

Waver not, this way and that

Follow the way of eight-limbed Yoga

And reach Samadhi State;

They who tread that blessed path

Shall reach Jnana's peak;

No more are they in this vile flesh born.


567: Breath Control Yields Life Nectar

Let Prana merge in Mind

And together the two be stilled

Then no more shall birth and death be;

Therefore, learn to direct breath

In streams alternating left and right

And in silentness chant "Aum"

Then shall you sevile of the nectar of life.


619: Vision of Light Resplendent in Samadhi

When in the Meru Peak of Sahasrara

Bindu and Nada flourish

In their union will Samadhi be;

And the Light Resplendent of Endless Jnana

Will then visioned be!



625: Ambrosia in Samadhi Leads to God

There is a way to vision the Lord,

The Celestial Beings churned

But with the mountain dark,

And partook of ambrosia;

But they climbed not

The heights of the Mystic Mountain

And partook not of ambrosia there flows,

For, they possess not

The unwavering mind

That soars in Samadhi high.


717: Perform Yoga Penance and Reach Lord
Thus toward that goodly state
Practise yogic penance;
If you succeed in coursing breath
Into the lotus in cranium,
You shall gain the Lord
That remains hidden in Vedas.


735: Continence Leads to God-hood

If the seminal seed thickens by sexual absention

It shall never be destroyed;

If the body is lightened by austere discipline

Long shall the life be;

If food is eaten sparingly

Many the good that flow;

You may verily become

The Lord of Dark-Hued throat.




Thus does knowledge that comes in diverse ways,

But erode life span in succession;

Knowing this not, they perish away.

749: Kindle Kundalini Lamp Within

They who know not this Way to the goal

And try other Ways

Are but fools;

They search with blazing torch

While within them is the hand-lamp

They who can kindle the Kundlini Fire within

Will abide ever in this fleeting world.

839: Vision of Void in Pariyanga Yoga

When You know the Void

And the light in that Void

Your mind shall be strong as a chistle of bronze;

After having tasted of the nectar

I saw the Void

With goodly Nandi guiding;

Beyond, I knew not.


1008: Kriya is Not Sought by Bhaktas, Yogis and Jnanis

They who have been received by Lord in His Grace

Seek not Kriya Way;

They who desire not to accumulate Karma,

Seek not to perform Kriyas;

They who are Siva Yogins great

They too seek not Kriyas;

They who are in loving devotion surpassing stand

They too seek not Kriyas.




1009: Seek God the Jnana Way
They know not to reach Him by Jnana Divine;
They seek Him by ways of senses, in vain;
If within you, you constant seek Him in right way,

You shall indeed be in Nadanta.

1010: Jnana Dispels Heart's Darkness

Light and Darkness together are in heart;

So does it seek Grace and Ignorance at once;

The knowledge within of Jiva is bereft of Light;

Except those who have Divine Jnana attained,

The rest despair of dispelling Darkness.

1011: Jnana Alone Leads to Union in God

Yourself Himself becoming,

And Himself yourself becoming

And with two none,

And as one Siva Becoming;

(When thus it is),

Those who went the way of Kriya

If they take to Jnana,

They with Siva one become;

They who seek Kriya,

May but Devas be.


1133: When Grace Dawns Jnana Arises

In the five senses of Mayaic knowledge,

When Grace of Sakti of True Knowledge enters,

They know the Jnana

That forever abide;

In the thoughts of those

Who intense cherish Her,

She abides for sure.



1146: As Prana Reaches Sakti in Ajna Ambrosial Flows

There She was with faces ten (in Ajna)

And in all directions the breath spread,

And sought the pearly-white light of Her face,

And then flowed ambrosial waters

From Her downward looking face.

1166: The Humans Who Reach Her are Above Gods

They who reach Her, of Compassion Divine

Well may they be here on earth below

Yet regard them not as humans;

Divine are their qualities;

Serene is their composure

Higher than Celestials are they.

1192: Kundalini Subsides in Sakti

With rituals many, they tapas perform

Let them meditate on Her within their body vessel,

The Kundalini light within

Ascending through Sushumna cavity

Will in Her Love subside.


1201: Way to Enter Samadhi

Hold Her in your thoughts,

Hold Her on your head,

Hold Her in your presence

Hold Her in Muladhara

Hold Her in meditation

Undistracted by worldly thoughts,

Hold Her in the mystic junction in cranium,

And into Samadhi enter.


1237: Meet Sakti and Attain Jnana

Standing face to face

With Her that is bejewelled,

With their inner light realizing Her,

And uniting in Her,

In the thoughts of Jivas thus reached

All Jnana appears.


1273: In That Chakra Arises Dark Smoky Flame
In Chakra, Bindu ascends,
In Bindu, Nada ascends,
In Nada, Flame of Fire ascends,
Beyond, appears a Light that is Dark (smoky).



1310: The Eight Saktis Reunite in Yoga
The eight Saktis belong to the eight-limbed yoga;
When Nadanta is reached,
The eight Saktis mingling one become, (Parasakti)
The Bindu that stood apart disappeared,
These experiences reach not the witless lowly ones.


1355: Meditate on Amudheswari (Aum Sakti)

That Amudheswari do hold in your heart

Rouse Kundalini with your breath coursing upward;

Daily will you vision things newer and newer;

Listen to this, your body perishes never.


1383: Effect of Five Years Chanting Hrim Sakti
Sever your Pasa's roots,
Adore Her in your heart's recesses,
All evil will leave you;
In five years you shall Siva be.



1421 Suddha Saivam is Saiva Siddhanta
Having learned all that learned must be,
Having practised all Yoga that have to be,
They, then, pursue the path of Jnana in gradation sure;
And so pass into the world of Formless Sound beyond;
And there, rid of all impurities,
Envision the Supreme, the Self-created;
They, forsooth, are the Saiva Siddhantins true.


1422 Suddha Siddhanta is Vedanta
Suddha Siddhanta is Vedanta;
They who have scaled the heights of Nada sphere
Have verily had the Vision Unwavering;
Comprehending Tattvas from world of elemental matter
To the Finite End of Jnana (Bhodanta)
They become Perfection in Nadanta;
They verily are the ardent seekers of Jnana.


1434 Way of Jnani
He stills the incessant flow of thought
That even Yoga's severity stills not,
With Jnana he effaces the Self
And in Bhava identifies with Siva;
That in brief is worthy Jnani's story.


1436 God is Beyond Reach of Pasu and Pasa Knowledge

High be the clouds that soar

They never shall touch the heaven's roof;

Varied be the sights that loom

They never shall touch the eye's orbs;

Even so,

Neither Pasu nor Pasa shall reach Him,

Whom contemplation scarce comprehends.


1437 Siddhanta is to Unite With Siva

You and He are not two separate

You and He are but one united;

Thus do you stand,

Freed of all sectarian shackles;

Adore the Feet of Paraparai

And with Siva become One;

That the way Siddhanta fulfills.


1439: Teachings of Siddhanta School
The five Tattvas that constitute the body,
The thirty more that together constitute them
And the one Tattva that is yet beyond Pure Maya,
All these they transcend;
The thick layers of primal bondage they dissolve
And of certain, realize the Self
That the way of Siddhantins true.

1452: True Worship is Worship Within

You may adore Him with sandal, fragrance exceeding,

That grows on peaks atop in forests interior,

You may worship Him with flowers rare,

That bloom in Heaven's gardens

Unless you shed your fleshly attachments

And realize Him in the depths of your heart

You shall never never reach His Holy Feet

That is unto flowers that shed honey dew.

1467: Jnana Path Most Exalted

Than Jnana,

There is none better an ethical path, here below;

None better a religious faith;

Nothing else than Jnana can confer liberation true;

They that are exalted in Jnana

Are truly exalted among men.


1468: Jnani Transcends Nada

Out of the primal Principle of Sound (Nada)

The Mind springs;

And out of the Mind-Intelligence, Egoity and Will;

They who have mastered these three,

And the Mind's cogitational activity as well,

Verily have mastered Nada

And have truly attained Jnana.
1472: Jnani Becomes Light Divine

In whose thoughts Jnana ripens and swells,

In his path the Life-Boat appears and greets him;

And thus does he reach the surging waters

Of the Crescent Moon's sphere,

And there, rid of Impurities,

He himself the Effulgent Light becomes.

1474: Attainments at Four Jnana Stages

The Jnani attains all the four stages in Jnana;

Jnana-in-Jnana is to transcend the "I" and "Mine"

Yoga-in-Jnana is to envision the Light of Nadanta;

Kriya-in-Jnana is to seek the liberation by good.

1483: Sanmarga Path Purest

Alone of all paths

Sanmarga grants God-head through knowledge;

The rest of paths are for un-illumined;

Renouncing the ways of impurities

And transcending limits of Turiya

It merges I in You;

Verily, Sanmarga is Path Purest.


1519: Descent of Grace Snaps Cycle of Births
They that have sported in the waters of Virgin Grace,
No more shall wallow in the filthy waters of virgin's lust;
If they but seek to sport in the Holy Virgin's Waters of Grace,
No more births shall they in future take.

1523: Fruit of Grace

In the garden of the Heavenly Father

Is that Damsel of Grace;

She approaches you,

Reveals the mystery of the births beyond count,

And destroys their very seed;

And then you vision the Primal One;

That, indeed, is the fruit of Her Grace.

1527: When Grace Descends as Guru

When Jiva attains the state of Neutrality

To deeds, good and evil,

Then does divine Grace in Guru form descend,

Removes attributes all,

Implants Jnana that is unto a heavenly cool shade;

The Jiva thus rid of egoity,

And other Impurities Three,

Shall with Siva in union merge.


1534: God Can Be Reached Only by Devotion
Proclaim you this:
There is nothing except Siva
No tapas except it be for Him
The Six Faiths are nothing but a dreary waste;
Do seek Nandi of mighty penance;
You shall indeed be redeemed truly.


1549: True Path Leads Straight to Lord's Presence
Walking in the True Path
Your holiness consummates;
The host of thine Karmaic deeds scatters
And they flee away;
Leave you the tortuous path
Of the Karmaic ridden men of world
Onward you journey, straight inside;
Thou shall, for certain, stand
In the Presence of the Lord of Heavenly Beings.


1553: Lord is Unto Gentle Rain

Who seeks Finite Truth

They His friend are;

Who does not seek Him

They but know the Worldly Men's Misery-Way,

Enveloped in darkness of bondage

In vain shall they be born again and again;

Who seeks Path True

To them, the Lord is unto richly laden clouds

That drops gentle rain of Heavenly Grace.

1555: Lord is Within You

The Only Being, the Eternal Being

Within you He dwells;

When you say so,

These ignorant men laugh low;

Poor folk! if they but seek Him in prayer within

Then shall they meet Him-the Peerless One.

1556: Who Pursued False Faiths

They wake not to Inner Light of Aum within;

And joy not in ego-effaced bliss ensuing

They wot not of approaching death,

They seek not end of recurring birth,

Lo! they pursued the unending path of contending faiths,

And stood forlorn, for ever lost in faith false.

1561: The True Path is Through Kundalini

The Six Faiths that profess the means to Becoming

Are by themselves but blind alleys all;

No good comes by following them alone;


The true path of Becoming for all life to pursue

Is but the path of divine Kundalini Sakti,


The blossom-vine that through Six centers courses.


Now have I realized the Path of Hara;


1565: Vision Through Saiva Path

He that belongs to the Lady of Lightning Form

He that belongs to the Vedic Fire of Brahmins

He that belongs to them that think of Him

He, the Primal Lord

He, the tender shoot of Jnana,

When you glimpse His loving signs,

Then have you walked in Path of Siva.

They with mind to infinity attuned

Sure enter the City of God.


1572: Macrocosm in Microcosm-A Mystery
Baffling indeed is the mystery of Life's Goal
Baffling it is, why into the six systems was it made;
A baffling mystery far,
How into the shedding sheaths of this body microcosm
Got imprinted a veritable macrocosm.
1573: The Holy Guru is God Himself

He taught me the meekness of Spirit,

Infused in me the light of devotion,

Granted me the Grace of His Feet;

And after interrogation holy, testing me entire,

Revealed to me the Real, the Unreal and Real-Unreal;

Of a certain is Siva-Guru Lord Himself.

1574: Power of Guru Presence

Gathering the strands of my fetters

He knotted them together;

And then wrenched them off;

Freeing me thus from my fond body,

Straight to Mukti he led me-

Behold, of such holy potent

Is the Presence of the Guru Divine!

1578: Discerning Holy Guru

The Guru comes, purifies and grants Godhood,

They see this not,

The witless ones of vision faulty;

But the holy ones take to him

In endearment as unto kith and kin,

And worship him as Lord Himself.

1585: Jnana Easy With Sakti's Grace

Bhakti and Resoluteness Spiritual (Vairagya)

Are the seeds of State Transcendental;

In turn, these lead to Sivoham;

And in Sivoham shoots the Jnana for Mukti,

And that shoot yours easy shall be

If Sakti but Her Grace bestows.


1586: When God Reveals Himself

This life of pleasures here below

The Lord for you of yore ordained

That you may the Greater Pleasure attain;

Where your mind reaches to Him in resolve,

Then of Himself, He reveals to you.

1602: Truth of Hallowed Feet is End of Vedas

I treasured His hallowed Feet

In the depths of my heart;

And so, shunned the deceitful course of scorching senses,

I swam past the dangerous swirls of twin Karma,

And I tasted the nectar of Truth

-The end of all Vedas.

1605: Goal of Sivananda is Ambrosial Bliss

Do incessant seek the goal of Sivananda,

There the Primordial Pasa enmeshes you not;

When it ever envelops you,

You but throw your egoity out and stand firm;

Yours shall then be the ambrosial bliss eternal.

1609: Knowledge and Ignorance

Even unto the witless here below

That know not knowledge from ignorance,

Was I; He taught the distinction between the two

And made me know my Self;

He transformed me into Para

And intimated me into very Siva;

He, Nandi of hallowed name.

1611: Mauna's Emanations

They that have mastered the Divine (Silentness) Mauna

Shall reach the very bliss of Mukti;

And all Siddhis of themselves seek them

Into the Silent Word would in perfection evolve;

Mastering Mauna thus,

They shall gain the power

For the five divine acts to perform

Creation, Preservation, Dissolution,

Obfuscation and Grant of Grace.



2194 Jiva a Prey to Tattvas and Pasas

The body, indriyas, mind

The intellect, will, egoity and ignorance

To these the Soul a prey falls;

If the Pasas further sprout in him,

To hell, he speeds fast.

2237 Knowledge of Self in Turiya Leads to Suddha State

The Suddha State is the ultimate;

The Jiva that passes through Kevala

When it reachs Turiya

Receives knowledge of Tatpara,

--Who beyond States, Kevala and Suddha, exists--

Thus realizing the Self within.

2264 Self-Realization Only in Turiya State--It Is Not Ultimate

Knowing not the Self,

Jiva deemed body as the Self;

When he saw the Real Self;

He attained Turiya State;

But even in that Turiya State,

If he, Jiva, with Lord united not,

He will again born be, here below.

2303 Vision of Void

Give up anger (Egoity)

As far as you can;

Direct your thoughts (Godward)

As far as it goes;

If with Lord's Grace

You slumber (in contemplation)

Day and night,

Even mountains will break;

And you shall vision the Void interminable.


2355 Importance of Self-Knowledge

With knowledge of Self

No harm there be;

Without knowledge of Self

Himself His (Jiva) harm be;

When knowledge

That knows the Self dawns,

Yourself Siva becomes,

Worshipped high.


2406 When Pasas Leave

Countless are Jivas (Pasu)

From Brahma downward;

Three are the Pasas (bonds)

That bind Jivas;

When bonds of Pasa are sundered,

And Jiva-nature altered,

Jivas will cling to Lord

And never leave Him.


2407 Prayer Takes Jiva to States Beyond Three Pasas

Even with Pasas (three),

Attainments three can be;

Daily contemplate on Jnana

That moves you to the goal ultimate,

Unintermittent do pray;

Praying thus,

Yours will be a Light that shall beam

As from a hill-top high.

2412 Lord Teaches Truth of Pasu-Pasam

The Lord daily teaches you

The truth of Pasu-Pasam;

The Lord leads the Way;

To those who realize truth of Pasu-Pasam

The Lord removes entire

The bonds of Pasu-Pasam,

--But Himself stands untouched by Pasu-Pasam


2422 Grace Works Out Purity

Not only is Grace

The means to Lord's Feet,

It is the source too

For desires to end,

And purification to attain;

Even as the cloth's dirt is removed

By earth-dirt (saline earth),

Pati-Pasam Grace works out

Jiva's purity.


2423 Pati-Pasam Leads to Pasu-Pati

Jivas that in Pati-Pasam (Arul Pasam) stand,

Reaches the Para State;

Jivas that in Pasu-Pasam stand,

Are but Pasus (in worldly ways);

As Jivas in Pati-Pasam stand,

Attain Para State,

Jivas in Pati-Pasam continous standing

Verily become Pasu-Pati (Lord of Jivas).

2433 Grace Leads to Holy State

Firm He planted His Feet on my head;

My fetters into fragments broke;

My heart's impurities were entire cleansed;

Milky-white pure it became;

The Lord then sought

To take me into His Fold;

What more can I say

Of my Holy State?

2434 God's Love For Man7The Lord loves Jivas as His children;

Well may they wallow in dirt and blemish;

He removes them and mends their ways;

Thus is God's love for Man;

To each according to his deeds

In compassion He bestows His care.

2435 The Truly Liberated

Three the blemishes

That harass Jiva alike,

And in darkness enveloped

He lies in stupor;

They who are from them liberated

Are the truly liberated;

Others, entangled in them,

Surely perish.

2436 Experiences in Liberation

Lust, anger and ignorance

I subdued;

And I waxed strong;

An ethereal bliss suffused me;

As though I was within the sound of "Aum"

Of a chiming bell, swinging struck.

 .........      ...........................................
2128 Jiva Has Five Experiences
The Jiva that as experient spirit stood (in Avastas)
In all bodies, this and four rest (Jagra, Swapna, Sushupti, Turiya and Turiyatita)
Will in Para merge;
Who knows the way it merges
Into Param that pervades all
As unto space in every pot,
Inside and out!
2129 Kala Body Holds Life
If through Adharas six
You unite through central Sushumna,
The nine orifices tightly controlled will be;
The body within of Kalas eighteen formed* will be;
That the body of Jiva will be.

2134 The Birth Cycle ends only when Jiva Unites in God

The Jiva that realized
"I" and "You" are one,
Is in Tatpara state;
Its course inherent diverting
Will reach Param;
The rest of Jivas
Reaching their destined abodes
In heaven and earth
Will in sorrow wallow.
2135 Body Substrates of Evolved Beings
Siva is the ground (Dhanu) of Jnani's body,
Jnani's body is Siva's body,
Yogi's body is Nada and Bindu,
Mauni's body is Mukti
Beyond Voids Three.
2141 The Pure Will Reach God
The heart that lusts after
Slender-waisted damsels,
Will in distress immersed be;
They, with hearts pure,
Body glowing as lightning
And Will made of iron
Are for Siva's presence destined.


2149 Meet God in the Body By the Yoga Way
They know not how To-Be;
Poor are they in Spirit;
Those, who,
Course upward the vital Ajapa*
(Through breathing in Yoga way)
And sublimate the Bindu,
They meet the Lord
That destroyed Kama, the God of Love;
Comely their body becomes
And indestructible here remains.

2162 Consciousness Begins With Egoity
In the Primordial Slumber State of Jivas (Kevala State)
Devoid of Awareness,
Egoity is activated;
Then Consciousness springs,
And actions diverse Jiva pursues;
From the State of Kevala
Thus passing out,
He the Five States (Avastas) experiences,
Until he becomes Para Supreme.


2163 Maya Awakens Soul From Primordial (Kevala) Slumber
As with his staff the teacher rouses the pupil
Who in his presence slumbers,
Even unto it,
The benevolent Lord with Maya awakens
The Soul that in prolonged Egoity slumbers.

2169 Jivas Grope Their Way Back to Sakala Jagra State
The blind one,
Eyes he has; but vision none;
And so gropes for the steps,
He made of yore;
Having found them,
He seizes a stick
And with its aid
Finds the Way;
Even unto it
Do the Jivas with avastas three
Seek to march back their way.

2170 Seated in the Body, Jiva Experiences
The Spider
Standing at the web's center,
Catches prey and feeds;
Even unto it,
The Jiva standing within the body stage,
Where the senses in merriment dance
Experiences the sensations five,
Sound and the rest four.


2202 Experiences in the Five States of Consciousness Within Jagra
Jagra in Jagra
Pertains to Senses;
Svapna in Jagra
Is of thinking and forgetting;
Sushupti in Jagra
Is seeking inward;
Turiya in Jagra
Is abstaining from seeking;
In the state of Turiyatita

Is Nandi verily.


2204 Sushupti and Its Inner Divisions
Jagra-in-Sushupti
Is to vision it as non-vision;
Dream-in-Sushupti
Is to know it as dream;
Sushupti-in-Sushupti
Is to know that there is no knowledge of it;
Turiya in Sushupti

Is inexplicable Void.


2205 Turiya and Its Inner Divisions7Jagra-in-Turiya
Is (God) Consciousness, external;
Svapna-in-Turiya
Is (God) Consciousness internal;
Sushupti-in-Turiya
Is Void inexplicable;
Turiya-in-Turiya

Is to vision Param Supreme.


2206 Jiva-Knowledge in Relation to Para-Knowledge in the Four States
Jiva-knowledge cognising Para-Knowledge is Jagrat
Jiva-knowledge cognising-ceasing is Dream;
Jiva-knowledge cognising,
Yet knowing it not, is Sushupti;
Jiva-knowledge merging in Para-Knowledge
Is Turiya verily.

2207 Jiva's Experiences in Turiya State
He (Jiva) then pervasive becomes;
Shedding Malas five,
He takes the Form of Jnana;
Experiencing that,
Abandoning his pervasiveness,
He ascends higher,
The Subtle Form of Pranava (Aum)
To assume.

2209 New Knowledge
This I knew not,
All these days;
This when I know,
Nothing else I knew;
When I knew,
This the Truth
Then I Knew I am It.


2210 Immanence of Sakti and Siva
As Life of Life,
As Form and Formless,
As Jiva-Sentience and Knowledge-Divine
All pervasive, He stands;
If Sakti and Siva
In world immanent are not,
Verily, verily, all is inert darkness,
In ignorance entire steeped.


 2210 to 2386 important



2386 Vedanta and Siddhanta Know No Differences
In the imprint of Vedanta and Siddhanta,
There is difference none;
Bodhanta is Jnana (Divine Knowledge);
Yoganta is Jneya (the Known)
Nadanta is Dawning of Bliss
The finale imprint

Is in Silentness (Mauna) Immersed-to-be.


2392 Tvam Pada, Tat Pada, Asi Pada (Sayujya)
In the Vedanta Way
The Jiva (Pasu) reaches Tvam Pada State
(The Two--I and He--together are)
Then follows Nadanta the goodly State
Where Pasa is rid;
Then follows Bodhanta that reaches to Tatpada State
Where I and He in one union is;
Siva Sayujya is the Goal Beyond

That follows.

2393 Of the Six Ends Vedanta and Siddhanta Alone Show the Path to Siva-Becoming
Siva-Becoming
Is the goal of Vedanta and Siddhanta
The rest four Ends lead not to Siva-Becoming,
--Siva that is Sadasiva--
And so it is that Vedanta and Siddhanta

Are wondrous Ways indeed.

2395 Beyond Jiva Turiya and Para Turiya is Siva Turiya
In the Vedanta-Siddhanta Way
Beyond Siva aspects in Param and in Jiva
Arises the Jnana
In Pure State of Experience (Turiyatita)
That verily is Siva State ultimate
Only those who in Tapas stood
Realized Siva Truth (Tattva).


2396 All States Are Tattvas or Steps Only to Siva-Sayujya
The Form and Formless States
Are alike Tattvas;
The Bindu, Nada and Sadasiva too
Are Tattvas verily;
So too is Jiva's (Tvam Pada and Tat Pada);
Tattva truly is where Tatpara is in Siva-Sayujya.

2400 Beyond Kalanta Vedanta-Siddhanta Leads to Yoganta and to Dance-Bliss
Wait not for the day
To vision the Five Kalantas;
Take to the Way of
Vedanta-Siddhanta, that one are;
Then will you reach the Yoganta,
And there will you envision the Feet
Of the Eternal Dancer,
That is Siva.

2405 Pati, Pasu, and Pasam--All Three Eternal
Beginningless is Jiva that of Knowledge speak
Beginningless is Lord, the source of all Knowledge,
Beginningless is Pasam, that binds knowledge
When God-Knowledge dawns,
No more will birth be.

2406 When Pasas Leave
Countless are Jivas (Pasu)
From Brahma downward;
Three are the Pasas (bonds)
That bind Jivas;
When bonds of Pasa are sundered,
And Jiva-nature altered,
Jivas will cling to Lord
And never leave Him.

2407 Prayer Takes Jiva to States Beyond Three Pasas
Even with Pasas (three),
Attainments three can be;
Daily contemplate on Jnana
That moves you to the goal ultimate,
Unintermittent do pray;
Praying thus,
Yours will be a Light that shall beam
As from a hill-top high.

2408 Why Pasas--To Seek God
He who the bonds made (you bind),
He, Nandi, of spreading matted locks,
In love endearing they (Jnanis) think of;
Thinking, they shrink from Pasas
And Godward seek;
Lo! for this it is why
He placed them (Jivas) in Pasas.

2409 After Pasas Atita Plane
As the poison that has been extracted
No longer ascends the body,
He who the truth of Pasu-Pasa saw and shed them
Will not in them again be,
He stands apart;
He scorches them
In the states of Primal Kevala (inertness)
And living Sakala;
Then enters the Atita Jagrat plane.

2412 Lord Teaches Truth of Pasu-Pasam
The Lord daily teaches you
The truth of Pasu-Pasam;
The Lord leads the Way;
To those who realize truth of Pasu-Pasam
The Lord removes entire
The bonds of Pasu-Pasam,
--But Himself stands untouched by Pasu-Pasam.

2422 Grace Works Out Purity
Not only is Grace
The means to Lord's Feet,
It is the source too
For desires to end,
And purification to attain;
Even as the cloth's dirt is removed
By earth-dirt (saline earth),
Pati-Pasam Grace works out
Jiva's purity.

2425 Feet are Grace; Head is Jnana
Neither head nor foot they know
Miscreants they are;
The Feet the Holy say
Are the Grace of Sakti;
The Head the Holy say
Is Jnana
That with First Cause unites;
When to Jiva the Feet of Grace
Shows the Head of Jnana
Then shall Liberation be.

2426 Head and Feet Are Within
They know not
The Head and Foot (of Lord) is within body,
The Head is in Sahasrara (Cranium)
The Foot in Muladhara;
Those who visioned thus in the Yogic way,
Remained in Prayer
Their heads bowed at Lord's feet.

2429 Lord Gave Jnana and Mantra
Beyond, beyond the Light
That defies description,
Is the place where
My loving Lord abides;
He showed me the Light (Jnana)
That is beyond thought;
He taught me the Mantra
That is beyond words;
His Holy Feet, adoring I stood.

2431 Grace is Granted According to Degree of Devotion
In the thoughts of those
Who hold Him steadfast,
Firm He stood, His Feet planted;
--He, the Lord of Celestials;
Those who thought not of Him,
He shunned;
To each according to his devotion
He His Grace grants.

2432 Go the Intense Way and Behold Lord's Feet Even Today
One the heart's lotus
Three the radiant flowers
Two the Father's Feet within;
Those who can discipline the body
In Yogic Kundalini Way
May well behold Him,
Even this day.

2433 Grace Leads to Holy State
Firm He planted His Feet on my head;
My fetters into fragments broke;
My heart's impurities were entire cleansed;
Milky-white pure it became;
The Lord then sought
To take me into His Fold;
What more can I say
Of my Holy State?

2434 God's Love For Man7The Lord loves Jivas as His children;
Well may they wallow in dirt and blemish;
He removes them and mends their ways;
Thus is God's love for Man;
To each according to his deeds
In compassion He bestows His care.

2435 The Truly Liberated
Three the blemishes
That harass Jiva alike,
And in darkness enveloped
He lies in stupor;
They who are from them liberated
Are the truly liberated;
Others, entangled in them,
Surely perish.

2436 Experiences in Liberation
Lust, anger and ignorance
I subdued;
And I waxed strong;
An ethereal bliss suffused me;
As though I was within the sound of "Aum"
Of a chiming bell, swinging struck.

2442 Yoga Way Also Leads to the Three States
Even some who know not the letters Fifty
Reach the States three above said;
They did by (directing) their breath in Yogic Way
Into Para;
Thus with Siva they one became.

2443 Turiyatita Experience
Transcending even thought of God
Is Atita State;
The sense organs (Indriyas) no more cognise
The Sound and the rest;
Pervasive Jiva becomes;
The Malas three, the Karmas two, the Jiva one,
The experiences (Avasthais) Five,
All these subside;
Thus subsiding, the Beginningless One wakes
Into the Turiyatita Jagra State.


2445 Parallel Yoga Way
In the encircling Spheres Three within me,
The Primal Lord appears;
I reached Him and was in bliss immersed;
I clung to the tender vine of Kundalini Sakti
That she, Her Grace may shower.


2447 Beyond Para is Parasiva
Beyond Tattvas six times six
Is that Para;
When the unarticulated mantra
Is in Silentness chanted,
Then appears Siva Para,
That is still above;
He is the God
Of whom Vedas speak;
Then shall Divine Rapture well up in you;
Do foster it, and enlarge.

2448 Seek Lord in Intense Divine Desire and Become Siva
Shedding desires (worldly)
In intense (Divine) desire seek Him;
Yours shall be the Heavenly Kingdom of God (Param);
When you in intense (Divine) desire seek Him,
Shorn of desires (worldly),
Then shall the Knowledge of God be;
Only those who in intense (Divine) desire seek Him,
Bereft of desires (worldly),
Will (Param Param) Siva become.

2449 Pati-Pasam Leads to Para, Para Siva and Para Siva-Ananda
Cherish Pati-Pasam (God-love)
That is holy beyond holiness;
Then shall the transcendental Para be;
And then beyond Parasiva reached be;
Then shall the transcendental Siva Bliss (Parasivananda) be;
Jiva Becoming Siva is indeed Knowledge Divine.

2450 Beyond Kalanta is Tat-Para State (God-Union and Not God-Becoming Yet)
Transcend Kalas Five
In the Waking State (of Turiya) appear;
Reach the lonely State of Higher Kevala (inertness)
And there solitary be;
Bereft of sentience,
Ardent enter the (Turiya) atita State;
Then shall you the very Tat-Para be.
2451 In Tat-Para Union is Aum
The Purity State
That Self-Realization brought,
The Expansive State within it,
The Malas that affected Jiva before
All these passing,
Seek the Para-atita State
Where the Tatpara and the time-bound Jiva that Para became
Commingle into one letter

That with "A" begins; "Aum."
2453 Nature of Pati
The Pati (Lord) has
Neither Beginning nor End;
He is Divine Light Resplendent;
He is seen and yet unseen;
Those who attain Jnana
Of that Para

Are Holy indeed.
2454 He Dances in Void and Lurks Inside the Deep Well of Pranava
Transcending Turiya
And entering Turiyatita,
Is the endless Void;
There vision the mighty Lord
That dances eternal;
They who can peer
Into the deep well of Pranava (Aum) within,
And glimpse Him

Will no more birth have.
2455 Jiva's Purification
In contact with color red
White, too, becomes red;
Unto it it is,
When Jiva purified (white)
Reaches Siva (that is red);
In Jnana's Void
That absorbs universes so unreal,
Siva stands high aloft

As a flag planted on Meru Mountain top.
2457 After Self-Realization is the Light Where No Self is
"Realize the Self,"
--So taught my Nandi;
When I realized the Self,
He placed me in place where the Self is unknown;
There the Light-Form arose,
And He granted me Himself,

Tat-Para I became.
2462 Lord is Splendorous Light in the Void Beyond
The Primal Lord that is Tat-Para
Is Light Resplendent
He is Chit-Para, (Divine Jnana filled)
He is the Divine Sentience
That engrosses universe;
Enter in the Splendorous Light,
In the Void that is beyond words,

No more is there anything to compare.
2463 Risk to Suddha State Even in Turiyatita
The hoary scriptures say,
The expanding Space is His Body;
He wears the crescent moon;
Even after reaching the Turiyatita State,
If Jiva a victim to Causal Experiences (of Suddha Maya) falls.
He will Suddha (Pure) per se not be,

When you ask me.

2464 Pervasive Sakti is Pervasive Siva's Form
Space, air, fire, water and earth
He pervasive fills
He is Tat-Para of love infinite;
Sakti that is manifested
In space, air, fire, water and earth
Is but of His Form Divine.

2465 Contemplate in Yogic Way
To the Yogis of intense Tapas,
Contemplating on Mystic Meru Mount
In the radiant Sphere within,
In their rare Tapas
Siva's Grace, of itself, appears;
Move not from this way;
There is none other too.

2471 The Holy Way
Become Knowledge;
Away with Tattvas six times six
That Asat (unreal) are;
Crush the crowding Maya
With Lord's Grace;
Then will be the Divine Grace abiding;
That way, the holy ones knew.
