In this highest state of Supreme God Consciousness, there is no need of spiritual progress, no contemplation, no art of expression, no investigation, no meditation, no concentration, no recitation, exertion or practice.
Tell me then, what is the supreme and well-ascertained truth? Listen indeed to this: neither abandon nor accept anything, enjoy everything, remain as you are.
In reality, there is no such thing as birth and death. So how can the question arise of bondage for living beings? There never was any such bondage for the one who is entirely free, and therefore to struggle for liberation is useless, and nothing more than delusion — like a dark shadow, mistaken for a demon, or a rope, seen as a snake. It is all based on deceitful perception, which has no substance. Neither abandon nor accept anything. Remain as you are, well-established in your own Self.
In the Oneness of that Supreme State, what talk can there be? And what differentiated path of adorer, adored and adoration? To whom, and by what means could a progression function? Or what could constitute the succession of penetrating into the Self? Wonder of wonders…
Though it appears differentiated, this illusion is no other than consciousness, one without a second. Everything is nothing but the pure essence of your own self-experience, so why worry in vain?
One cannot compare the bliss of this state to the intoxication of wealth or wine, nor to the union with a beloved. And the brilliant flow of light is unlike the collection of rays from a lamp, the sun or the moon. This excessive joy of the Self is comparable only to the weight of that blissful state which descends when one gets liberated from all differentiation.
The flow of this supreme consciousness is the state of universal Oneness, which is nothing other than your own treasure-abode, that you had temporarily forgotten.
Attraction and repulsion, pleasure and pain, rising and setting, self-confidence and depression — all these states with which the universe is formed, shine as mutually different, but in reality, they are not.
Whenever you perceive the specific nature of some thing, at that very moment, you should perceive the essence of your own consciousness as One with it. Why not take delight in the fullness of that awareness?
In this world, the totality of objects appear eternally in the present moment. The activity of universality has no previous or future existence. Differentiated action is an illusion based on the unlawful pervasion of an intermediate state — which is unreal, transient, fradulent. Just a heap of appearances, like the illusion of a dream.
Remain above these defects, which have been wrongfully forged by the stigma of doubts... Hence, be awakened. For the insentient, there is no outflow of objective things, for those are manifested only when experienced by thee. Though deprived of reality, they share reality in one instant, through one’s erroneous perception.
Thus, the greatness of this universe arises from your own imagination. It does not take birth from anything else. Therefore, you alone shine in all these worlds, and though One, you become many, by your own glory.
Real, or unreal, small or plentiful, eternal or momentary, what is colored by the illusion of differentiation, and what is pure in one’s own Self, is, in reality — this universe arising from your own consciousness, and becoming One with your essence, appearing glorified in the mirror of consciousness.
Having ascertained the sublimity of the universe, and having understood the greatness of establishing one’s own Self-experience, enjoy Universal Sovereignty…
