Translation
“The self is consciousness.
Ignorance is bondage.
The limitations of knowledge and action are also bondage.
The basis of limited knowledge is the letters that form all conceptualisation.
The inner upsurge of energy is the supreme.
By contemplating the various groups of Saktis or powers, the universal is dissolved in one’s perception.
The enjoyment of the transcendental state arises in the waking, dreaming and seep-sleep states.
The waking state consists of knowledge.
The dream state is made of internal ideation.
The state of deep-sleep is the unawareness of Maya.
The one who experiences those three states is the Lord.
The various stages of yoga are full of wonders.
The power of will is ever-new and untouched.
Everything that is visible is like a body.
By absorbing the mind in the heart, visible things appear like a dream.
Also, by contemplating the pure aspects of the universe, one achieves the capacity of the state of freedom.
Deliberation becomes the knowledge of self.
The bliss of the world is the joy of Samadhi.
By merging with the divine power, a new body is produced.
Joining the material elements, separating the material elements and oneness with the world become possible.
As pure knowledge arises. one attains mastery over the various groups of powers.
By contemplating the great lake of consciousness, one experiences the energy of the mantra.”
