In plain words
Mental intent always births our actions in the world. In this vast realm of saṃsara, those rare souls who recognize the true nature of the Divine cultivate an unshakeable devotion—an exclusive, eight-fold absorption directed toward the Supreme. Adored by such single-minded devotees through internal contemplation, outer ritual, and grand worship, she is the very embodiment of grace. Om, salutations to the Goddess who is worshipped by those whose hearts know no second love. She is meditated upon by a one-pointed mind—by those whose purified inner consciousness rests in uninterrupted awareness, having cast aside all alien thoughts through continuous, homogeneous contemplation. Through the utter maturity of the eight limbs of yoga—restraint, observance, posture, breath-control, withdrawal, concentration, meditation, and absorption—there flowers the supreme state of unconditioned awareness, unfolding in three luminous stages: the truth-bearing ṛtaṃbharā, the illumined prajñālokā, and the tranquil praśāntavāhitā. The first is truth-bearing because it directly embraces the infinite reality of existence, consciousness, and bliss, just as the scriptures command us to master the mind within the Self alone. The second is the illumination of wisdom, wherein constant, unceasing practice ripens the unbroken wave of contemplation until the veils of ignorance are shattered, fulfilling the ancient truth that wisdom is our ultimate foundation and revealing the radiant direct realization of the Divine...
Close to the Sanskrit
Mental activities precede other sense actions, such is the intent. Alternatively, in this world of saṃsara, those who know His true nature—whosoever they are—their firm determination of worshipability is devotion, which is exclusive absorption directed toward qualified Brahman in eight forms. Worshipped by those single-minded devotees through internal, external, and grand sacrifice methods, she is adored, thus the meaning. Om, salutations to her who is worshipped by single-minded devotees. One who is meditated upon by a one-pointed mind: one whose consciousness has been made the object of uninterrupted pervasion through homogeneous thought-waves preceded by the rejection of heterogeneous thoughts, by those whose internal organ is of that nature. Through the excess of ripening of the eight limbs of yoga—yama, niyama, āsana, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, dhāraṇā, dhyāna, and samādhi—there arises subsequently asamprajñata-samādhi, which has a threefold stage: ṛtaṃbharā, prajñālokā, and praśāntavāhitā. The first is ṛtaṃbharā, because it bears Brahman, characterized by existence-consciousness-bliss as it truly is, through mental pervasion, as per the scriptural declaration 'one should bring under control in the Self alone.' Prajñālokā: when supreme wisdom, in the form of an unbroken mental wave, has been brought to maturity by constant and uninterrupted practice directed toward Brahman, thereby accomplishing the destruction of the veil, on the authority of the scriptural text 'wisdom is the foundation,' the light, manifestation, and direct realization of wisdom wherein is accomplished, which is...
