Mann ko roke rakhne wali chadar hai. Yog se us swaroop ko dekho jo hamesha anand mein hai. Anand ki bhiksha maango. Shamshan bhi ho, par anand ke bagiche mein raho. Akela sthan chuno. Anand ka math banao. Mann se pare ki sthiti. Sharada ki cheshta hai yeh. Unmani ki gati hai. Shareer saaf ho jata hai. Bina sahare ki seat hai. Amrit ki lahron jaisi anand ki kriya. Saaf safed aasmaan. Bada siddhant hai. Shant aur daman jaisi shaktiyon ka abhyas karo. Upar aur neeche ka milan. Tarak upadesh suno. Bhagwan advait hai, hamesha anand mein hai.
A cloak that restrains the mind. By yoga, the vision of the form whose nature is perpetual bliss. One who subsists on the alms of bliss. Dwelling, even in the great cremation-ground, in the grove of bliss. A solitary place. A monastery of bliss. The state of unmanī (mind-transcendence). The activity of Śāradā (wisdom). The movement of unmanī. A purified body. A seat without support. The blissful activity of nectar-like waves. The white (pure) sky. The great doctrine. Skill in the field and vessel—i.e., in the practice of divine powers beginning with tranquility and self-control. The conjunction of the higher and the lower. The liberating instructions (tāraka-upadeśa). The deity is non-dual, ever-bliss.
