1. The venerated Shankari (Shakti), source of energy, opens her eyes and the universe is reabsorbed in pure consciousness; she closes them and the universe is manifested within her.
2. The sacred tremor, the very place of creation and return, is completely limitless because its nature is formless.
3. Even within duality, the tantrika goes straight to the non-dual source, because pure subjectivity always resides immersed within his own nature.
4. All the relative notions tied to the ego rediscover their peaceful source deeply buried under all the different states.
5. In the absolute sense, pleasure and suffering, subject and object, are nothing other than the space of profound consciousness.
6, 7. To grasp this fundamental truth is to see absolute freedom everywhere. Thus, the activity of the senses itself dwells in this fundamental freedom and pours forth from it.
8. Therefore, the person who rediscovers this essential sacred tremor of consciousness escapes the dim confusion of limited desire.
9. Liberated in this way from the multiplicity of impulses tied to the ego, he experiences the supreme state.
10. Then the heart realizes that the true innate nature is both the universal agent and the subjectivity that perceives the world. Thus immersed in understanding, it knows and acts according to its desire.
11. How can this wonder-filled tantrika, who always comes back to his own fundamental nature as the source of all manifestation, be subject to transmigration?
12. If the void could be an object of contemplation, where would the consciousness that perceives it be?
13. Therefore, consider contemplation of the vacuity as an artifice of a nature analogous to that of a profound absence from the world.
14, 15, 16. Actor and action are united, but when action is dissolved by abandoning the fruits of the act, the very dynamic that is tied to the ego exhausts itself, and the tantrika who is absorbed in this profound contemplation discovers the divine tremor liberated from its ties to the ego. The profound nature of action is thus revealed, and he who has interiorized the movement of desire no longer knows dissolution. He cannot cease to exist because he has returned to the profound source.
17. The awakened tantrika realizes this continuous sacred tremor throughout the three states.
18. Shiva is then in loving union with Shakti in the form of knowledge and its object, whereas everywhere else he is manifested as pure consciousness.
