Chapter 12

Therefore, I Call You To Listen to Me, To Hear Me, To See Me, and To Assume The Great Principle Of The Heart

I Am Merely Present, Blessing All and all By My Mere Presence.

My Blessing Work Is The Transmission Work (or Giving Work) Of The Heart (Hridaya, or Sri Hridayam).

My Mere and Blessing Presence Is Blessing Work, Sat-Guru-Kripa, The Transmission (or Grace-Giving) Of Free (and Inherently Spiritual) Radiance, or Divine Love-Bliss.

My Transmission (or Sat-Guru-Kripa) Is Hridaya-Kripa, The Giving Of The Gift That Is The Heart Itself.

My Transmission Work (or Inherently Spiritual Blessing Work) Is The Transmission (or Giving) Of Hridaya-Shakti, The Graceful Heart-Power (That Is The Heart Itself).

My Initiatory Spiritual Blessing (Whereby My Listening Devotees and My Hearing Devotees Are Given The Grace Of True Devotion, By Feeling My “Brightness”), and My Merely Present “Act” Of Spiritual Baptism (Whereby My Seeing Devotees Are Awakened To Spiritually Activated Heart-Practice and Heart-Realization), Is Hridaya-Shakti-Kripa, or Hridaya-Shaktipat, The Initiatory Giving Of The Perfectly Attractive and Love-Blissful Grace-Power Of The Heart Itself.

Hridaya-Shakti-Kripa (or Hridaya-Shaktipat) Is Given By The Heart Itself (Which Is The Very Divine Person, or The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine Self-Condition Itself, Who I Am ).

Hridaya-Shakti (or The Perfectly Subjective Divine Power That Is The Heart Itself and That Awakens The Realization Of The Divine Self-Condition Itself) Originates Eternally Prior To The Cosmic Mandala, and Eternally Prior To The Circle (or The “Circular” Pattern Of The Combined Frontal, or Descending, Line and Spinal, or Ascending, Line) Of the body-mind, and Eternally Prior To The Arrow (or The breathless and Moveless, but Upwardly Polarized, Central Axis) Of the body-mind.

Therefore, Hridaya-Shakti-Kripa (or Hridaya-Shaktipat) Is Senior To conditional (or conventional Yogic) Shaktipat (or Spiritual Transmission That Originates Dependently, or As Manifestly Objective Cosmic Power, Within The Cosmic Mandala, and Within The Circle, and The Arrow, Of the body-mind).

Conditional (or conventional Yogic) Shaktipat and conventional Yogic Practice Are Intended (or, Altogether, Activated) To Stimulate Movements Of attention In The Circle, and The Arrow, Of the body-mind, and (Thereby) To Accomplish Various conditional Goals (Whether By Descent Or By Ascent Of The Manifestly Objective Cosmic Power).

Hridaya-Shakti-Kripa (or Hridaya-Shaktipat) and The (Thereby) Spiritually Initiated Practice Of The Way Of The Heart Are Inherently Disposed (or Heart-Founded and Heart-Empowered) To Directly Dissolve (or Perfectly Undermine) attention itself (In The Heart, or The Perfectly Subjective Divine Self-Condition, Itself).

Therefore, Whereas conditional (or conventional Yogic) Shaktipat and conventional Yogic Practice Actively Seek conditional Goals Of attention (In or Above The Circle, and The Arrow, Of the body-mind), Hridaya-Shakti-Kripa (or Hridaya-Shaktipat) Directly Reveals (and, Subsequently, The Thereby Spiritually Initiated Practice Of The Way Of The Heart Directly Realizes) The (Inherently) Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself, Which Is Eternally Prior To attention, mind, body, The Circle, The Arrow, and all worlds, and The Hearts Own (Inherently, and Ultimately, Perfect) Way, Which Is To Stand As Is , Prior To Every Kind Of Seeking, and Prior To Any and All Movements Of attention, and Prior Even To attention itself (which is the Tacit ego-“I”, The Primal Act Of self-Contraction, Appearing As The Root-Feeling Of Relatedness Itself, or The Tacit Feeling Of “Difference” Itself).

Hridaya-Shakti-Kripa (or Hridaya-Shaktipat), The Subsequent (Spiritually Activated) Heart-Practice Generated By It, and The Heart-Realization Awakened (Ultimately) By It Are Senior To conditional Spirit-Conductivity (In The Circle, and The Arrow, Of the body-mind), All conditionally Manifested Activities Of The Kundalini Shakti, and All Vertical Processes (In The Upper and Lower Regions Of the body-mind, Rather Than In The Horizontal Plane Of The Heart). And Hridaya-Shakti-Kripa (or Hridaya-Shaktipat), Subsequent (Spiritually Activated) Heart-Practice, and The Great (and Perfectly Subjective) Disposition Awakened In The Ultimate (and Inherently Perfect) Event Of Heart-Realization (Itself) Directly and Inherently Transcend Such (experiential) Possibilities (Even Though They Do Not Otherwise Exclude, or Strategically Prevent, Them).

Objective Shakti (or Spiritual Energy Felt or Perceived or Experienced In Relation To oneself, or Even In Relation To Consciousness Itself) arises (Thus, Objectively) Only If the body-mind and the world arise.

There Is No Objective Shakti To Be Felt, Perceived, or Experienced, Unless the psycho-physical point of view arises To Feel, Perceive, or Experience It.

There Is No Objective Shakti To Be Found, Unless a conditional point of view (or a point of self-Contraction, or an Otherwise conditionally limited point Of Reference) Is Presumed.

There Is No Objective Shakti To Be “Located” In Relation To oneself (or Even In Relation To Consciousness Itself) If The Root-Feeling (or Necessarily conditional Presumption) Of Relatedness Is Not Generated (and Identified With, or Otherwise, At Least Apparently, or As a convention Of Apparent conditional Existence, Presumed).

The True, Ultimate, or Inherently Perfect (and Necessarily Divine) Shakti Is The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant “Bright” (and Perfectly Subjective) Love-Bliss That Is Native To The Heart Itself (or Consciousness Itself, Realized As The Feeling Of Being, Itself).

That True, Ultimate, or Inherently Perfect (and Necessarily Divine) Shakti, or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant “Bright” Divine Feeling-Energy (or Perfectly Subjective Spiritual Fullness), Is What I Call “Hridaya-Shakti”.

That Hridaya-Shakti Is Senior To (and Perfectly Subjective To) The Kundalini Shakti.

The Kundalini Shakti Is Always Objective (or Felt, or Perceived, or Experienced In Relation To the Apparent, and Apparently personal, body-mind, and In Either The gross Context Or The subtle Context Of the conditional world). Therefore, The Kundalini Shakti Itself (As Objective Energy) arises conditionally, and Its Manifestation Is Entirely Dependent On Cosmic, or psycho-physical, and Altogether conditional Events.

Only The Hridaya-Shakti (Which Is Perfectly and Always Most Priorly Subjective To conditional Existence, and, Therefore, Identical Only To Unconditional Existence, or Being, Itself) Stands Always Already Prior To The Root-Feeling (or Primal conditional Feeling) Of Relatedness Itself, and, Therefore, Utterly Prior To The Cosmic Domain, the body-mind-self, and conditional Existence Itself.

My Blessing (By Which I Bless All and all) Is The Giving Of Hridaya-Shakti, The Inherent (and Inherently Spiritual, and Perfectly Transcendental, and Necessarily Divine) “Brightness” (or Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Love-Bliss) Of The (Perfectly Subjective) Heart Itself. And those who Truly and Fully Receive My Blessing (or Hridaya-Shaktipat) Are Thereby Directly (and Even Quickly) Awakened To Stable Identification With The Native Witness-Position Of Consciousness (Which Is The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself) and To The Inherently Perfect Practice Of The Way Of The Heart (In The Context Of The Sixth Stage Of Life, and, Ultimately, The Seventh Stage Of Life).

The (Always Objective and Cosmic) Kundalini Shakti arises (or Shows Itself As Various Effects) In The Context Of Any or All Of The First Five Stages Of Life.

The (Always Perfectly Subjective, Acosmic, and Pre-Cosmic) Hridaya-Shakti Always Simply Stands As Itself (Identical To The Feeling Of Being, Itself), Prior To All Apparent Objectivity.

To Feel, Perceive, or Experience The Kundalini Shakti Is Necessarily To Be Moved (Thereby) Everywhere Within The Context Of conditional Existence and The First Five Stages Of Life, but (By Grace) To “Locate” The Hridaya-Shakti Is To Directly, Spontaneously, and Inherently Perfectly Transcend All Of The First Five Stages Of Life and (Ultimately) Even All Of Cosmic (or conditional) Existence Itself.

Therefore, My Most True (or Truly Mature) Devotees Do Not Seek Any “Effects” Of My Spiritual Presence. They Do Not Strive To Linger In The Cosmic Domain. They Do Not Wish To Prolong The Course Of The Practice Of The Way Of The Heart In The Context Of The First Five Stages Of Life. They Do Not Incline themselves To Dote Upon Any Objectified (or conditional) Feeling, Perception, or Experience Of My Spiritual Presence.

My Most True (or Truly Mature) Devotees Are Devoted Only To Me, As I Am . They Are Not “Concerned” About Kundalini Experiences (Even If These arise), but they Are Always Heart-Moved To Utterly Surrender, Forget, and Transcend self-Contraction (and, Therefore, all of body-mind, and Cosmic “Play”, and conditional Existence Itself).

Therefore, My Most True (or Truly Mature) Devotees Are those who Benefit The Most (and Most Directly) From My Spiritual Blessing (or Hridaya-Shaktipat). And they Are (Thereby) Directly (At The Heart) Relieved Of All Seeking. And they Do Not Surrender, Forget, and Transcend self-Contraction, the body-mind, the conditional world, and Cosmic (or conditional) Existence By The Strategic (or ego-Bound) Efforts Of Great Seeking, but they Are Spontaneously Moved To Inherently Perfect Surrender, Perfect Forgetting, and Perfect Transcendence Of self-Contraction, body-mind, conditional world, and conditional Existence Simply By Feeling (and Thereby Contemplating) Me (and, Thus, By Yielding Utterly To The Inherently Perfect Attractiveness Of My Heart-Perfect Bodily Human Form, My Blessing-Perfect Spiritual Presence, and My Very, and Inherently Perfect, State).

The Heart-Way Is (Progressively) The Way Of The Conscious Process (or Direct Heart-Release Of the self-Contraction), Realized (Ultimately) To The Degree Of Inherent Love-Bliss-Radiance (or The Realization Of The Inherent, and Perfectly Subjective, Spirit-“Brightness”, Which Realization Is Itself Inherently Perfect, Unconditional, and Transcendentally Awakened Spirit-Conductivity).

Conventional (or ego-Based) Paths Depend On conditions (or Otherwise Seek To Exclude conditions and Bypass The Necessary Ordeal Of self-Transcendence In The Context Of conditions). The Heart-Way Observes, Understands, Changes, Releases, Directly Transcends, Most Perfectly (or Inherently and Divinely) Recognizes, Divinely Transfigures, Divinely Transforms, and Divinely Translates conditions.

The Heart-Way Is The Way Of Divine Consciousness, Mastering Its Own Spiritual Energy (or Even all Apparent, or conditionally Manifested, energies). Therefore, Whereas conventional (or ego-Based) Paths Manipulate the conditional self and the conditionally Manifested energies Of Cosmic Nature (or Even The Spiritual Energy Of God) In A Search For The Attainment Of The Great Principle, I Call You To Realize The Great Principle, By Grace, As The Very Foundation Of The Way Of The Heart.

I Call (and Bless) You (Even From The Beginning Of Your Practice Of The Way Of The Heart) To Realize (or, By Grace, To Be Awakened To) The Great Principle (That Is The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself). At The Beginning Of Your Practice Of The Way Of The Heart, I Call (and Bless) You To Realize (or, By Grace, To Be Awakened To) The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself By (First) Listening To Me and (Then) Hearing Me (and, Therefore, Whether In The Manner Of The Devotional Way Of Insight Or In The Manner Of The Devotional Way Of Faith, To Progressively, and Then Most Fundamentally, Understand, and To Progressively, and Then Most Fundamentally and Directly, Undermine and Transcend self-Contraction, Through Devotionally Responsive and self-Surrendering and self-Forgetting and self-Purifying and Entirely self-Releasing Feeling-Contemplation Of My Bodily Human Form, and My Spiritual, and Always Blessing, Presence, and My Very, and Inherently Perfect, State, and Through “Consideration” Of The Ever-Working Word and Story Of My Heart-Purifying, Heart-Inspiring, Heart-Instructing, and Heart-Awakening Arguments and Intrusions). And (When You Have Heard Me, and When You Have Effectively Demonstrated That True Healing) I Call (and Bless) You To Realize (or, By Grace, To Be Awakened To) The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself By Seeing Me (and, Thereby, Whether In The Manner Of The Devotional Way Of Insight Or In The Manner Of The Devotional Way Of Faith, To Continue To Directly Transcend self-Contraction In every moment, and, As Necessary, In The Context Of All Of The Advanced and The Ultimate Stages Of Life, Not Only Through The Continued Enforcement Of Most Fundamental self-Understanding, but, More and More, Through The Free Devotional, or Heart-Attracted and Heart-Awakened and Directly self-Transcending, Response To The Spiritual, Transcendental, and Ultimate Divine Forms Of Reality, Truth, or God Directly Revealed By and As My Bodily Human Form, My Spiritual, and Always Blessing, Presence, and My Very, and Inherently Perfect, State).

From the point of view of the body or the mind, The “Bright” Self-Radiance Of Self-Existing Being Is perceived To Be An Objective (Universal and All-Pervading) Cosmic Spirit-Energy (or Cosmic Shakti), Which Is Always At Work, Moving (and Modifying) the world, the body, and the mind (and Even Binding attention By Those Very Movements, and To Those Very Modifications).

From The Divinely Realized “Point Of View” Of Consciousness Itself (Which Is The Heart Itself, or The Self-Existing and Self-Radiant Divine Self-Condition Itself), Even The Apparently Objective (Universal and All-Pervading) Cosmic Spirit-Energy (or Cosmic Shakti) Is Divinely Recognized (and Inherently, and Inherently Perfectly, Transcended) In The Merely (or Only) and Perfectly Moveless “Bright” Self-Radiance (or Inherent Love-Bliss) Of Consciousness Itself (Which Is The Eternal, or Pre-Cosmic, and Perfectly Subjective, Divine Itself).

Therefore, The Ultimate (or Inherently Perfect) Blessing Is The Transmission (or Direct Awakening) Of The Inherent (or Self-Existing) Being, The (Inherently) Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself, Which Is The Self-Radiant Space Of Consciousness Itself (Moveless As “Bright” Love-Bliss Itself).

This Inherently Perfect Blessing Is The Form Of My Constant Transmission, Even To All My Listening Devotees, and All My Hearing Devotees, and All My Seeing Devotees. (And those who Receive It Perfectly Become My Inherently Perfect Devotees.)

The Receiver Of My Blessing (Whether Listening Devotee, Or Hearing Devotee, Or Seeing Devotee) Will Tend To Receive My Heart-Blessing Only According To his or her Stage Of Life (and Developmental Stage, or moment, Of Practice), and My Heart-Blessing Will Thus Seem (or Be perceived) To Reveal Itself Accordingly.

Therefore, My Blessing Will Appear (or Be Revealed) By Stages.

First (Via My Word, and My Historical Play, and My Always Giving and Revealing Bodily Human Form), I Am At Work To Attract and To Guide and To Instruct My Listening Devotee.

In This Manner (and In Due Course), I Awaken Most Fundamental self-Understanding In My (Thus, Hearing) Devotee.

Eventually (When My Devotee Both Hears Me and Sees Me), I Also Appear (Most Fully) As Spirit-Power Itself (or The By Grace Revealed Spirit-Current Of “Bright” Love-Bliss Itself), Seeming To Move In the world, the body, and the mind (and To Purify and Absorb them As I Seem To Move).

And All The While (and Really, Only) I Am Standing Free.

Even From The Beginning Of This Revealing Course, I Am My Mere (and Blessing) Presence and My Very (and Eternal, and Inherently Perfect) State, Which Always Already (and Only) Stands Self-Radiant In and As The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself.

Therefore, Only The Perfectly Subjective Heart (Itself) Is The Great Principle.

Only The Perfectly Subjective Heart (Itself) Is Perfect.

The (Inherently) Perfectly Subjective Heart (Itself) Is The Inherently Perfect Position (or State) Of Free Consciousness (Itself).

The (Inherently) Perfectly Subjective Heart (Itself) Is The Inherent Feeling Of Being (Which Is The Perfect Itself).

The (Inherently) Perfectly Subjective Heart (Itself) Is The Divine Domain (Itself).

Therefore, By Practicing The Way Of The Heart (and By All The Means I Give To You), You Must Grow, By Grace, To Realize The Great Practice That Is Self-Generated By and As and At and From The Perfectly Subjective Heart Itself.

And I Am Your “Bright” Companion (here), Until You Receive and Realize Me Most Perfectly (There).
