praṇavādi samuccārāt plutānte śūnya bhāvānāt |
śūnyayā parayā śaktyā śūnyatām eti bhairavi || 39 ||
pra-nava aadi-sam-ud-chaaraat plutaante shoonya–bhaavanaat shoonyayaa parayaa shaktyaa shoonyataam eti bhairavi
The roar of joy that set the worlds in motion
Is reverberating in your body
And the space between all bodies.
Beloved, listen.
Find that exuberant vibration
Rising new in every moment,
Humming in your secret places,
Resounding through the channels of delight.
Know you are flooded by it always.
Float with the sound.
Melt with it into divine silence.
The sacred power of space will carry you
Into the dancing radiant emptiness
That is the source of all.
The ocean of sound is inviting you
Into its spacious embrace,
Calling you home.

na cittaṁ nikṣiped duḥkhe
na sukhe vā parikṣipet |
bhairavi jñāyatāṁ madhye
kiṁ tattvam avaśiṣyate || 103 ||
na chittam ni-kshipet duhke
na sukhe vaa pari-kshipet
bhairavi jnaayataam madhye
kim tattvam ava-shishyate
That space is bad.
This space is good.
The ride is rough,
Or the going is smooth.
We are thrown into suffering,
We are thrown into joy.
Beloved Soul Mate—
Find the space in the center,
The pulsing spaciousness
Encompassing all opposites.
Here the essences of creation are at play:
Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space,
And the senses that perceive them.
The center is the dancing ground.

tantry ādi vādya śabdeṣu
dīrgheṣu krama saṁsthiteḥ |
ananya cetāḥ pratyante
para vyoma vapur bhavet || 41 ||
tantri aadi vaadya-shabdeshu
deergheshu krama-sam-sthiteh
ananya–chetaah prati-ante
para–vyoma vapuh bhavet
Immerse yourself in the rapture of music.
You know what you love. Go there.
Tend to each note, each chord,
Rising up from silence and dissolving again.
Vibrating strings draw us
Into the spacious resonance of the heart.
The body becomes light as the sky
And you, one with the Great Musician,
Who is even now singing us
Into existence.
