Passage 3

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

Births and deaths bound up with the world will not come to you again! You need not worry about that.

All your life long, think of this very Liṅgodbhava you have seen, and meditate on it joyfully, with one-pointed attention. Rejoice and say, “We have seen the Liṅgodbhava that no one easily attains; we have beheld the divine radiance of the Liṅga.” According to the mantra “daśāṅgulam”, its circumference is ten inches; within it the triśūla of Śiva appears in the form of light. It is a triśūla that shows the three times, the three worlds and the three guṇas as one. Time, 360 days, 60 ghaḍiyas, 60 vighaḍiyas, grows in relation to the numbers ten by ten: just as I said that yesterday, so another wonder is indeed going on in this Liṅga all the time! It is this: once every ten minutes, all of a sudden, this triśūla shines in new and ever new hues.

All of you beheld this divine creation and rejoiced; you beheld this divine form; you took part in this holy gathering. In honour of this good fortune, remembering the substance that lies within all substance, meditating on this radiance, make your daily life holy from now on with holy deeds, holy thoughts, holy words. Moment by moment, you yourselves must keep warning yourselves. That precisely is your responsibility.
