|
|
Oh shiva, what is your reality? |
おー、シバよ。あなたの真の姿は何なのですか?
|
|
What is this wonder-filled universe? |
この不思議で満ちた宇宙は何なのですか?
|
|
What constitutes seed? |
|
|
Who centers the universal wheel? |
だれが宇宙の車輪の中心をしているのですか?
|
|
What is this life beyond form
pervading forms? |
このせいを超えた形、pervading formsは何なのですか? |
|
How may we enter it fully, above
space and time, names and descriptions? |
何度、私達はそれに全部入ったのですか?空間と時間の上に、名前と記述の上に?
|
|
Let my doubts be cleared! |
私の疑問をきれいにして下さい。

Shiva replies: |
シバは答える:
|
| 1 |
Radiant one, this experience may
dawn between two breaths. After breath comes in (down) and just before
turning up (out) -- the beneficence. |
輝くものよ。この経験は二つの呼吸の間にだんだん明らかになる。呼吸が入って来た後と、呼吸が入って来る直前に。善い事が。
|
| 2 |
As breath turns from down to up,
and again as breath curves from up to down -- through both these turns,
realize. |
呼吸が下りから上りに変わるにつれて、そうして、また呼吸が上りから下りに曲線を描くにつれて、両方のこれらの曲がりを通して、見つけ出せ。
|
| 3 |
Or, whenever in-breath and
out-breath fuse, at this instant touch the energy-less, energy-filled
center. |
または、入って来る呼吸と出てゆく呼吸が点火するときはいつでも、このエネルギーのないことと、エネルギーがいっぱいであることの中心に、直接触れる場所に。
|
| 4 |
Or, when breath is all out (up) and
stopped of itself, or all in (down) and stopped -- in such universal
pause, one's small self vanishes. This is difficult only for the impure. |
または、呼吸が全部出て行って自分で止まったとき、または、全部が入って来て止まったとき。このユニバーサルな一旦停止が、その者の、小さな自己が消滅する。これがimpureのための唯一難しいことだ。
|
| #5 |
|
| 5 |
Attention between eyebrows, let
mind be before thought. Let form fill with breath essence to the top of
the head and there shower as light. |
眉毛の間の注意、思考の以前にマインドを在らしめよ。形が呼吸のエッセンスで頭の上まで満たされ、そこで光として降り注ぐ。 |
| 6 |
When in worldly activity, keep
attention between two breaths, and so practicing, in a few days be born
anew. |
世界の活動の中にある時、注意を二つの呼吸の間に保つ。そうして実践を続ける。数日のうちに新しく生まれる。
|
| 7 |
With intangible breath in center of forehead, as this reaches heart at the moment of sleep, have direction over dreams and over death itself. |
前頭部の中心の無形の呼吸とともに、これが眠りの瞬間にハートに達するように、夢を越え、死それ自身を越えた方向を持つ。
|
| 8 |
With utmost devotion, center on the two junctions of breath and know the knower. |
極度の献身とともに、呼吸の二つの分かれ目の点に集まり、知るものを知る。
|
| 9 |
Lie down as dead. Enraged in wrath, stay so. Or stare without moving an eyelash. Or suck something and become the sucking. |
死んだように横たわり、怒気の中に憤る、そのようにとどまる。または、まつげを動かす事なく凝視する。または、何かを吸い上げ、そして、吸い上げる事になる。
|
| #7 |
|
| 10 |
While being caressed, sweet
princess, enter the caress as everlasting life. |
愛撫されている間、可愛い姫よ、尽きない生命のような愛撫の中に入る。
|
| 11 |
Stop the doors of the senses when feeling the creeping of an ant. Then. |
感覚の入口を止める、蟻が這っている感じがした時に。そうして。
|
| 12 |
When on a bed or a seat, let
yourself become weightless, beyond mind. |
ベッドの上、あるいは椅子の上にある時、自分自身を重みのないものにする、マインドを超えて。
|
| #9 |
|
| 13 |
Or, imagine the five-colored circles of the peacock tail to be your five senses in illimitable space. Now let their beauty melt within. Similarly, at any point in space or on a wall -- until the point dissolves. Then your wish for another comes true. |
もしくは、孔雀の尾の五つの色の円、それが限りない空間の中のあなたの五つの感覚となるように想像する。今、それらの美しさを内側に溶け込ませる。同じように、空間中の、あるいは壁の上の点に -- 点が溶け去るまで。そうしてあなたの相手への望みがかなえられる。
|
| 14 |
Place your whole attention in the nerve, delicate as the lotus thread, in the center of your spinal
column. In such be transformed. |
|
| #11 |
|
| 15 |
Closing the seven openings of the
head with your hands, a space between your eyes becomes all inclusive. |
|
| 16 |
Blessed one, as senses are absorbed
in the heart, reach the center of the lotus. |
|
| 17 |
Unminding mind, keep in the middle
-- until. |
|
| #13 |
|
| 18 |
Look lovingly at some object. do
not go to another object. Here in the middle of the object -- the
blessing. |
|
| 19 |
Without support for feet or hands,
sit only on the buttocks. Suddenly, the centering. |
|
| 20 |
In a moving vehicle, by
rhythmically swaying, experience. or in a still vehicle, by letting
yourself swing in slowing invisible circles. |
|
| 21 |
Pierce some part of your
nectar-filled form with a pin, and gently enter the piercing and attain
to the inner purity. |
|
| #15 |
|
| 22 |
Let attention be at a place where
you are seeing some past happening, and even your form, having lost its
present characteristics, is transformed. |
|
| 23 |
Feel an object before you. feel the
absence of all other objects but this one. Then, leaving aside the
object-feeling and the absence-feeling, realize. |
|
| 24 |
When a mood against someone or for
someone arises, do not place it on the person in question, but remain
centered. |
|
| #17 |
|
| 25 |
Just as you have the impulse to do
something, stop. |
|
| 26 |
When some desire comes, consider
it. then, suddenly, quit it. |
|
| 27 |
Roam about until exhausted and
then, dropping to the ground, in this dropping be whole. |
|
| #19 |
|
| 28 |
Suppose you are gradually being
deprived of strength or of knowledge. At the instant of deprivation,
transcend. |
|
| 29 |
devotion frees. |
|
| #21 |
|
| 30 |
Eyes closed, see your inner being
in detail. Thus see your true nature. |
|
| 31 |
Look upon a bowl without seeing the
sides or the material. In a few moments become aware. |
|
| 32 |
See as if for the first time a
beauteous person or an ordinary object. |
|
| #23 |
|
| 33 |
Simply by looking into the blue sky
beyond clouds, the serenity. |
|
| 34 |
Listen while the ultimate mystical
teaching is imparted. Eyes still, without blinking, at once become
absolutely free. |
|
| 35 |
At the edge of a deep well look
steadily into its depths until -- the wondrousness. |
|
| 36 |
Look upon some object, then slowly
withdraw your sight from it, then slowly withdraw your thought from it.
Then. |
|
| #25 |
|
| 37 |
Devi, imagine the sanskrit letters
in these honey-filled foci of awareness, first as letters, then more
subtly as sounds, then as most subtle feeling. Then, leaving them aside,
be free. |
|
| 38 |
Bathe in the center of sound, as in
the continuous sound of a waterfall. or, by putting the fingers in the
ears, hear the sound of sounds. |
|
| #27 |
|
| 39 |
Intone a sound, as aum, slowly. As
sound enters soundfulness, so do you. |
|
| 40 |
In the beginning and gradual
refinement of the sound of any letter, awake. |
|
| 41 |
While listening to stringed
instruments, hear their composite central sound; thus omnipresence. |
|
| #29 |
|
| 42 |
Intone a sound audibly, then less
and less audibly as feeling deepens into this silent harmony. |
|
| 43 |
With mouth slightly open, keep mind
in the middle of the tongue. Or, as breath comes silently in, feel the
sound "hh". |
|
| 44 |
Center on the sound "aum" without
any "a" or "m". |
|
| #31 |
|
| 45 |
Silently intone a word ending in
"ah." then in the "hh," effortlessly, the spontaneity. |
|
| 46 |
Stopping ears by pressing and the
rectum by contracting, enter the sound. |
|
| 47 |
Enter the sound of your name and,
through this sound, all sounds. |
|
| #33 |
|
| 48 |
At the start of sexual union keep
attentive on the fire in the beginning, and so continuing, avoid the
embers in the end. |
|
| 49 |
When in such embrace your senses
are shaken as leaves, enter this shaking. |
|
| 50 |
Even remembering union, without the
embrace, transformation. |
|
| 51 |
On joyously seeing a long absent
friend, permeate this joy. |
|
| 52 |
When eating or drinking, become the
taste of food or drink, and be filled. |
|
| #35 |
|
| 53 |
Oh lotus-eyed one, sweet of touch,
when singing, seeing, tasting, be aware you are and discover the
ever-living. |
|
| 54 |
Wherever satisfaction is found, in
whatever act, actualize this. |
|
| 55 |
At the point of sleep, when the
sleep has not yet come and the external wakefulness vanishes, at this
point being is revealed. |
|
| 56 |
Illusions deceive, colors
circumscribe, even divisibles are indivisible. |
|
| #37 |
|
| 57 |
In moods of extreme desire, be
undisturbed. |
|
| 58 |
This so-called universe appears as
a juggling, a picture show. to be happy, look upon it so. |
|
| 59 |
Oh beloved, put attention neither
on pleasure nor on pain, but between these. |
|
| 60 |
Objects and desires exist in me as
in others. So accepting, let them be transformed. |
|
| #39 |
|
| 61 |
As waves come with water and flames
with fire, so the universal waves with us. |
|
| 62 |
Wherever your mind is wandering,
internally or externally, at this very place, this. |
|
| 63 |
when vividly aware through some
particular sense, keep in the awareness. |
|
| #1 |
|
| 64 |
At the start of sneezing, during
fright, in anxiety, above a chasm, flying in battle, in extreme
curiosity, at the beginning of hunger, at the end of hunger, be
uninterruptedly aware. |
|
| 65 |
The purity of other teachings is an
impurity to us. In reality, know nothing as pure or impure. |
|
| #3 |
|
| 66 |
Be the unsame same to friend as to
stranger, in honor and dishonor. |
|
| 67 |
Here is the sphere of change,
change, change. Through change consume change. |
|
| #5 |
|
| 68 |
As a hen mothers her chicks, mother
particular knowings, particular doings, in reality. |
|
| 69 |
Since, in truth, bondage and
freedom are relative, these words are only for those terrified with the
universe. This universe is a reflection of minds. As you see many suns
in water from one sun, so see bondage and liberation. |
|
| #7 |
|
| 70 |
Consider your essence as light rays
from center to center up the vertebrae, and so rises "livingness" in you. |
|
| 71 |
Or in the spaces between, feel this
as lightning. |
|
| 72 |
Feel the cosmos as a translucent
ever-living presence. |
|
| #9 |
|
| 73 |
In summer when you see the entire
sky |
|
|
Endlessly clear enter such clarity. |
|
|
shakti, |
|
| 74 |
See all space as if already
absorbed in your own head |
|
|
In the brilliance. |
|
| 75 |
Waking, sleeping, dreaming, know
you as light. |
|
| #11 |
|
| 76 |
In rain during a black night |
|
|
Enter that blackness as the form of
forms. |
|
| 77 |
When a moonless rainy night is not
present, |
|
|
Close eyes and find blackness
before you. |
|
|
Opening eyes, see blackness. |
|
|
So faults disappear forever. |
|
| 78 |
wherever your attention alights, |
|
|
at this very point, |
|
|
experience. |
|
| #13 |
|
| 79 |
focus on fire |
|
|
rising through your form |
|
|
from the toes up |
|
|
until the body burns to ashes |
|
|
but not you. |
|
| 80 |
meditate on the make-believe world
as burning to ashes and become being above humanas, |
|
| 81 |
as subjectively, |
|
|
letters flow into words and words
into sentences, |
|
|
and as, objectively, |
|
|
circles flow into worlds and worlds
into principles, |
|
|
find at last these converging in
our being |
|
| #15 |
|
| 82 |
feel: my thought, i-ness, internal
organs -- me. |
|
| 83 |
before desire and before knowing, |
|
|
how can i say i am? |
|
|
consider. dissolve in the beauty. |
|
| #17 |
|
| 84 |
toss attachment for body aside, |
|
|
realizing i am everywhere. |
|
|
one who is everywhere is joyous. |
|
| 85 |
thinking no thing |
|
|
will limited-self unlimit. |
|
| #19 |
|
| 86 |
suppose you contemplate something |
|
|
beyond perception, |
|
|
beyond grasping, |
|
|
beyond not being. |
|
|
-- you. |
|
| 87 |
i am existing. |
|
|
this is mine. |
|
|
this is this. |
|
|
oh beloved, |
|
|
even in such know illimitably. |
|
| #21 |
|
| 88 |
each thing is perceived through
knowing. |
|
|
the self shines in space through
knowing. |
|
|
perceive one being as knower and
known. |
|
| 89 |
beloved, |
|
|
at this moment |
|
|
let, mind, knowing, breath, form, |
|
|
be included. |
|
| #23 |
|
| 90 |
touching eyeballs as a feather, |
|
|
lightness between them opens into
heart |
|
|
and there permeates the cosmos. |
|
| 91 |
kind devi, |
|
|
enter etheric presence |
|
|
pervading far above and below your
form. |
|
| #25 |
|
| 92 |
put mindstuff |
|
|
in such inexpressible fineness |
|
|
above, below and in your heart. |
|
| 93 |
consider any area of your present
form |
|
|
as limitlessly spacious. |
|
| #27 |
|
| 94 |
feel your substance, bones, flesh,
blood, saturated with the cosmic essence. |
|
| 95 |
feel the fine qualities of
creativity permeating your breasts' and assuming delicate configurations. |
|
| #29 |
|
| 96 |
abide in some place endlessly
spacious, clear of trees, hills, habitations. thence comes the end of
mind pressures. |
|
| 97 |
consider the plenum to be your own
body of bliss. |
|
| #31 |
|
| 98 |
in any position gradually pervade
an area between the armpits into great peace. |
|
| 99 |
feel yourself as pervading all
directions, far, near. |
|
| #33 |
|
| 100 |
the appreciation of objects and
subjects is the same for an enlightened as for an unenlightened person.
the former has one greatness: he remains in the subjective mood, not
lost in things. |
|
| 101 |
believe omniscient, omnipotent,
pervading. |
|
| #35 |
|
| 102 |
image spirit simultaneously within
and around you until the entire universe spiritualizes. |
|
| 103 |
with your entire consciousness in
the very start of desire, of knowing, know. |
|
| 104 |
o shakti, each particular
perception is limited, disappearing in omnipotence. |
|
| 105 |
in truth forms are inseparate.
inseparate are omnipresent being and your own form. realize each as made
of this consciousness. |
|
| #37 |
|
| 106 |
feel the consciousness of each
person as your own consciousness. |
|
|
so, leaving aside concern for self,
become each being. |
|
| 107 |
this consciousness exists as each
being, and nothing else exists. |
|
| 108 |
this consciousness is the spirit of
guidance of each one. be this one. |
|
| #39 |
|
| 109 |
suppose your passive form to be an
empty room with walls of skin -- empty. |
|
| 110 |
gracious one, play. the universe is
an empty shell wherein your mind frolics infinitely. |
|
| 111 |
sweet hearted one, meditate on
knowing and not-knowing, existing and not-existing. then leave both
aside that you may be. |
|
| 112 |
enter space, supportless, eternal,
still. |
|
