Exploring possibilities of the unknown and being guided by those thinkers and feelers that have come before. Not limited in nature by their words and actions, but stimulated to grow beyond mere understanding into an experiential centre where creation is one with destruction! - Destiny is already here and is unable to leave!

"sukhaman jhal jhal bindu jhalakai |

TRANSLATION:

A scintillating point-light is sighted in the Sushumna (the centre of the Ajna Chakra) |
Behold (this point), O brother, with the curtains of your eyelids down ||1||
(The spiritual practitioner) who stills his sight in the Third Til (Sushumna, or the centre or the Ajna Chakra), |
Moves beyond his body and enters into the macrocosm. ||2||

The inner sky, studded with sparkling stars, is laid open (to such a practitioner). |
Light resembling that of the earthen lamp-flame (that is seen within) dispels the darkness (of the inner sky). ||3||
The inner horizon is illumined with incomparable moonlight. |

The dazzling divine light of the youthful (mid-day) Sun brightens up the inside. ||4||
Melodies of myriads of sounds and the primeval unstruck sound |
Are grasped by the surat (individual soul) that has acquired the divine supernatural vision. ||5||
Catching hold of such (divine sounds) with the focussed attention (which is referred to here as the string or thread of surat),

O soul! Walk back to your true home (the Soundless State where God alone dwells) ||6||
I have essentially revealed, says Maharshi Mehi, the secret (of the way to God's Abode) |
One, who serves his Guru, attains to the Supreme Soul (God) who does not need any base or support. ||7||
