Sutra 1.12

12. vismayo yogabhumikah //

The predominant sign of such a yogi is

joy-filled amazement.




"This yogi is filled with joy and amazement. The Sanskrit word vismaya means "amazement completely filled with joy." Just as a person seeing some wonderful object is amazed, in the same way, this yogi is filled with amazement who, in the objective world of senses, experiences entry in his own self filled with consciousness, which is unique, intense, always fresh and uncommonly charming, and by which entry all his varieties of organs are filled with blooming, ever smiling, one-pointed joy.



What kind of amazement is this? This yogi, upon entering into that limitless state of bliss (ananda), is never satiated with the experience. On the contrary, he feels bathed with the amazement of joy. This is the predominent state of yoga of a yogi who has become one with the supreme Lord, the supreme tattva, Siva tattva. And by this, you can surmise that he has ascended to the state of Siva."



The author cautions not to confuse this state with some joyful state of consciousness near the muladhara (first) chakra or with seeing some effulgent light between the eyebrows. Simply put, having some energy (chi) sensations/movement, or seeing the light between eyebrows, or having some visions does not mean the achievement of this highest state. It is just the start. :)

Sutra 1.13



13. iccha sakttiruma kumari //



His will is the energy of Lord Siva and it is called uma and it is called

kumari.

or,

For such a yogi, his will is one with the energy of Lord

Siva, unobstructable, completely independent, always given to play.




"His will is the energy (sakti) of Lord Siva. And, his will is not only energy it is also called uma and kumari. The author has provided these three names for the will of such a yogi.



The will of the yogi, who has attained complete entry into the state of Bhairava and become one with supreme Bhairava, is the energy of Lord Siva. It is one with uma. Here, in this sutra, the word uma does not refer to the wife of Lord Siva. Here the word uma refers to the independent energy of the supreme Lord (svatantrya).



The will of this yogi is also called kumari. The Sanskrit word kumari can be translated and understood in a number of ways. It could be that kumari refers to that energy that plays in the universe, creating, protecting, and destroying it. But why use this definition? Because in Sanskrit grammar, the word kumara is contained in the meaning of krida, which means "to play." Kumari, therefore, means that energy that is always given to play.



There is another meaning of Kumari. Kumari can be understood as kum marayati. Here kum means the differentiated perception in this world and marayati is the energy that destroys differentiated perception and directs it into one's own nature."



Whatever such yogi desires, he/she gets it because his/her will is one with the supreme energy of Shiva



"Everyone wants to have this kind of will so that whatever he desires, he gets. In the Netra Tantra, the same thing is explained:

'Oh Parvati! His will is one with my will, my supreme energy. It is one with myself and rises from my own nature.'



The energy of the will of this yogi has become the cause of the entire universe because the energy of this yogi is one with the energy of Lord Siva, just as heat is one with fire and rays are one with the sun. In the same way, his energy is one with the self of Siva."

Sutra 1.14



14. drisyam sariram //

This entire perceived world is his own self.

or

His own body is just like an object to him.




""These are two ways this sutra is to be translated. One, this whole objective world is his own self and two, his own body is an object. In the first way of translating this sutra, emphasis is on the reality that because he is one with every being, he perceives the perceived world of objects, the objective world, as his own self.



In the second way of translating this sutra, the yogi's perception of his body as an object is stressed. But here the perception of his body as an object is not perceiving his body in a subjective way, as we do. Our perception of our body is suggested in such statements as, "I am strong, I am very weak." But who is weak? The self is not weak. Because the body is weak, you say I am weak. You perceive your body as one with your own I consciousness. But this yogi does not. He perceives his own body, and not only this body, but the gross body of wakefulness, the body of the dreaming state, the body of sound sleep and body of voidness, as an external object."



Such yogi perceives all objects of the external & internal world as limbs of his own body:

"Because of the thought (aham idam) "I am this whole universe," whatever object he perceives in the objective world, whether it is existing internally or externally, he perceives as one with the limbs of his own body of I conscious being. So, by this great achievement of supreme I consciousness, just like sadasiva, he experiences this whole universe, in an undifferentiated way, as the limbs of his own body of I consciousness. Hence, whether in his body or in the external world, such a yogi has the perception of oneness everywhere."



Universe manifests from I consciousness which is Bhairava:

"Just as waves are not separate from water, just as the flames are not separate from fire, just as rays are not separate from the sun, in the same way, all the currents and flows of the universe have come into manifestation from Me, that I consciousness which is Bhairava" (Vijnana Bhairava 110)



Objective world is one with subjective world:

"Subjective energy is established in objective energy. Objective energy is no other than subjective energy. This objective world is one with the subjective world. Therefore, this is the kingdom of the subjective world, not the objective world. (Spanda Karika 2.4)"

Sutra 1.15



15. hridaye cittasamghattad drisyasvapadarsanam //



When his thoughts are diverted to the center of God consciousness, then he feels the existence of God consciousness in oneness in the objective world and in the world of negation.




"The literal reading is "When all one's thoughts are diverted to the heart." Here the word heart (hridaye) does not mean our own physical heart. Rather, here the word "heart" means the light of consciousness (cit prakasa) which is the background, the basis, of the existence of the whole universe. On that basis, everything in this universe is moving, being born, dying, suffering, enjoying, smiling, laughing, marrying, etc. Everything has that center of God consciousness as its basis.



This yogi experiences the oneness of the existence of God consciousness in the objective world and in the world of negation. When does the experience of the negation of the objective world occur? The experience of the negation of the objective world takes place at the time of death and at the time of deep sleep. And, in these states also, the yogi effortlessly experiences the existence of God consciousness."



Between the 'I' and 'this (objective and subjective):

"O Parvati!, the one who, with one-pointedness, directs all his organs including his mind in the voidness of that heart, which is the light of consciousness, and remains in between the two lotuses of this-ness and I-ness, becomes glorified with God consciousness. (Vijnana Bhairava 49)"



Such yogi is one with the universe:

"Such a yogi, situated as one with this whole universe, pervades it. Because he pervades everything which exists, all classes of beings in elements, in the organic world, in animate and inanimate objects, his consciousness is not called God consciousness but rather his God consciousness is transformed into Universal consciousness. (Svacchanda Tantra 4.310)"

Sutra 1.16



16. suddha-tattva-samdhanadva'pasusaktih //



Or by aiming at the pure element of Siva, he possesses Siva's unlimited energy.




(Refer to this thread for the basics of 36 tattvas or principles in KS and to read about the Siva tattva & Suddha (vidya) tattva.)



"In the sutra, "the pure element" (suddha tattva) refers only to supreme Siva. Now, what do we have to do with that? We have to make this universal objectivity enter in that supreme consciousness of pure Siva. You must see that this universe is residing in that pure element. There you will never find any impure object. Everything will appear to you as divine.



When you target, which means "aim at," and then perceive that this whole universe is existing in the pure state of Siva, in this way you will discard and be separated from the entangling energy that binds you with the wheel of differentiated perception. Instantly, you will become one with this universal state that is just like the pure element of Siva (sadasiva) and you will become master of the universe."



Rise of the supreme God consciousness

"With one-pointed attention, you must feel and perceive that this universe and your body are simultaneously one with God consciousness. Then the rise of that supreme God consciousness takes place. (Vijnana bhairava 36)"



World is a playground for such a yogi

"For such a yogi who has this kind of perception, this world is a playground. Always filled with joy, he is never sad. Doubtlessly, he is liberated while living (jivan mukta). (Spanda Karika 2.5)"

Sutra 1.17



17. vitarka atmajnanam //



Any inference of such a yogi is knowledge of his own real self.




"Whatever this yogi thinks, whatever he confirms, is one with the knowledge of his own self. It is his constant perception, "I am Lord Siva, one with the universe." This kind of perception is his personal knowledge"



Becoming one with Shiva - the real one-pointedness of thought

"The supreme Lord (Paramesvara) is all knowing, all doing and all pervading. The yogi thinks, "My self is one with the Lord because the aspects of Siva are my aspects." By attentive meditation on this, one becomes one with Siva. (Vijnana Bhairava 102)"



"... this is said to be the real one-pointedness of thought, (Spanda Karika 2.7)"

Sutra 1.18



18. lokanandah samadhisukham //



The joy of his samadhi is bliss for the whole universe.




"Whatever joy he feels while he is in samadhi is said to be the insertion of bliss for the whole universe. This yogi doesn't have to do anything. He only ha s to remain in samadhi and he will carry the whole universe into that supreme bliss."



Bliss of such a yogi penetrates the nature of observer

"When you see a cobra and it bites you, you will be filled with the poison of that cobra. In the same way, when you observe a yogi who is established in the joy of samadhi and you understand that he is experiencing the joy of this samadhi, you will at once also relish the joy of this samadhi. This reveals how this bliss is bestowed on the whole world. But how does this observer enter in that state?



The bliss of that yogi penetrates the nature of that observer who sees and feels that he is in bliss. Then he also abruptly becomes one with that bliss."

Sutra 1.19



19. saktisandhane sarirotpattih //



By infusing his energy of will, the embodiment of that which is willed occurs at once.




"He does not have to pray to Lord Siva to bestow a boon on his devotees or on those who have come to take his refuge. He just has to infuse his energy of will thinking, "let this man achieve this," and it becomes true . That is the meaning of sakti sandhana. Here, with his supreme energy of will, he aims at the object that is desired by his devotee and the manifestation of that object takes place immediately without any encumbrance. This has already been explained in the sutra of the First Awakening,



For such a yogi, his will is one with the energy of Lord Siva, unobstructable, completely independent, always given to play.



Whenever he aims the energy of will completely, not as an afterthought or superfluously but willing from the core of his heart, then what he wills must happen. Because of that force of will, whatever is desired comes true."



The will of such a Yogi is the energy of all Gods and Goddesses

"The energy of will of such a yogi is said to be the energies of all gods and goddesses. Whenever he wills wholeheartedly, his will is unstoppable. This is the cause of everything with lire because it works abruptly and moon because it shines in supreme peace. Everything exists in the will of this yogi. (Netra Tantra 7.36-40}"



Vedanta vs. KS - What controls the dreaming state?

"This is not exactly like the concept of maya for Saivities or prakriti for the Vedantins. For Vedantins, prakriti controls the dreaming state and for Saivaites, maya is the controller of this state. Such a yogi, however, can dream any dream he wishes. He is not concerned with the consciousness of maya or prakriti. So also in the dreaming state, he can dream whatever he wishes to dream. This is called the independent world of the dreaming state (svapnasvatantrya). So, this yogi's waking state is not the only independent state. For this kind of yogi, both the waking state and the dreaming state are independent."

Sutra 1.20



20. bhutasamdhana-bhutaprithaktvavisvasamghattah //



By the greatness of this achievement of the energy of will, the yogi can focus his awareness and heal the sick and suffering, separate elements from his body and be free from the limitations of space and time.




"By the greatness of this achievement of the energy of will (iccha sakti), this yogi can concentrate on some particular person who is sick, who is suffering from pain or from sadness, and cause this sadness and suffering to leave him. That is the meaning of bhuta samdhana. This is one power that this yogi attains.



When it is destined that this yogi has to suffer constantly for three years in his bed, he can temporarily separate that affliction from his body and keep it separately locked away. Once he separates this trouble from his body, he can continue with his daily routine without any hindrance. He has separated his trouble and kept it locked away. Let his body be painful, his consciousness is never painful. And whenever he returns from his daily routine and sleeps, he opens this box of trouble and that trouble enters his body again, causing him suffering. This is the meaning of bhuta prthaktva. This is the second power this yogi attains."



Free from the limitations of time and space

"There is also a third power this yogi achieves. This power gives him the ability to be free from the limitations of time and space. With this power, he can enter a past or future world and see what has happened or what is to come. This power is called visva samghatta.



The Sanskrit word bhuta means "that which exists." So, the body is bhuta, breath is bhuta, objects are bhuta. Simply by focusing on some object with his energy of will, this yogi's desired results are obtained. Whenever this yogi focuses his will on a person to cause that person, who can be either living or dead, to recover either here or in heaven or hell, that person will recover. He can lift that person from sadness in all the three worlds. Or to get rid of the pain in his own body, he can separate that pain from his body, enabling him to continue to do his work. Or he can enter that world and that universe which is far away in time and space. He can focus his mind on a distant city and see its past, present or future."

Sutra 1.21



21. suddhavidyodyaccakresatva-siddhih //



. . . pure knowledge rises and by that knowledge he becomes the master of the universal wheel.




"For this yogi, pure knowledge rises and by that pure knowledge, he becomes (cakresvara) lord of the universal wheel. This was just like Lord Krisna. Lord Krisna utilized his powers in a universal way, not a limited way. For example, Lord Krisna appeared in his universal form. That was the greatest yogic power. And furthermore, because he was master of the universal wheel, he displayed many additional powers. His powers were not limited. On the other hand, some yogis will tell you that when you take your school examination, you will achieve a good grade, or they will tell you that you will be successful tomorrow in your business dealings. These powers are called limited powers."



Universal power

"If, however, you want rainfall to come and rainfall comes, the power that caused that rainfall is an unlimited power, a universal power. If you want an earthquake to happen, that is universal power. If you want the destruction of the whole universe, that is universal power. If you want the rise of happiness for the universe, that is universal power. When in the background there is no individuality, that is universal power. That is becoming master of the wheel of energies, sakticakra. By the rise of pure knowledge (suddha vidya), the yogi exhibits universal power and becomes the master of Sakticakra, the universal wheel."



When the supreme light is revealed, the yogi becomes one with Lord Siva

"The knowledge that he attains is unequaled supreme knowledge because he simultaneously attains the supreme glories of all knowledge and all action. (Svacchanda Tantra)



When the eternal aspect of Lord Siva, the energy of svatantrya, is known, and supreme I consciousness is also in his knowledge, then the absence of supreme consciousness is kept away. This is why it is called pure knowledge, Suddhavidya. (Svacchanda Tantra 6.396)



You should be established in that supreme knowledge and reveal in your own nature the supreme light of supreme being. When that supreme light is revealed, you become one with Lord Siva. (Svacchanda Tantra 6.397)"
