THE PRIMORDIAL GOSPEL OF SIVA ACCORDING TO
KEMARAJA: AN ATTEMPT TO READ PRATYABHIJHRDAYAM P.MADHU
The effectuation (haetuh) of grand existence (siddhi = that
has happened) is from the freedom (swatantra) of the source (Citi), the grand void. The implicit void willfully (Svechhaya) explicated (unmilayati) the grand existence (viswam) effectuated upon herself, willfully spread as a screen (svabhittau). That manifold (tannana= tat+nana) got into the chain of reciprocal adaptation (anurupa) as they assumed the distinction of (bhedat) experienced objects (grhya) and experiencing subject (grhaka). The grand void (Citi) contracted into (samkoca) the existence still has the vibrancy of the originary void, the Siva (atma cetanah) even in its contracted state of delusionary existence (visva maya). The source, which is self aware (Citi) in its condition as existence appears reduced (cetanapadaad avardha) and individuated inasmuch as it becomes contracted (samkocini) by what it perceives (cetya) from its illusory individuation (cittam). Into that grandeur of illusory existence (mya prmat) the individuated is absorbed (tanmaya).
The existence, in its illusory existence, forms into dualities
(dirpas), lost to three kinds of illusions (trimaya: mayiya, kanma & nava), fourfold existence (snya, prna, puryastaka and sarira), enfolded into a set of 35 (sapta panchaka) dispositional complex (bhavas). All the knowledge systems (sarvadharsana) that flow from the dispositional complex (tadbhmikh) are statements reinforcing to the state of affairs of the dispositions (stitayah). Consequent to the grip of existence (tacchakti), knowledge systems are caught up in the veil (malvrita) of the emergent socius (samsri) and its empirical foundations. Even in this condition (tatthpi) (being thrown into the socius) persons (tatvat) are active in their fivefold functions (of sristi, samhra, thirodhna, sthiti and anugraha), of the Source (though they may be unaware of it) as manifesting (bhsana), relishing (rakti), experiencing (vimarsana), creating (bija), and dissolving (vilapana). Thus beings exist in their cultural milieu (samsritvam) absorbed by (vyamohitat) power of self evident-existence (sva shaktibhir). If one recognizes (remembers) ones origin from the Source (parijne), that persons internality (cittam) move inwards (antarmuki) towards the spiritful radiance (bhvena cetana) of the grand source and becomes one with its unrestrained will (Citi). The radiance of the grand void (Citivahnir) even in its minimal emission unsettles partially the narrow sense of self and its (apparently self-evident) knowledge base.
The radiance overpowers the grand illusory existence
(viswam) and reveals the will of the source, the tman. When this happens, the bliss of the void is experienced incessantly, even when its enjoyer lives in mortal body (jivanmukti). The bliss of void (Citnanda) becomes the core aspect of its enjoyer (the person- jivatman- living in human body). The core of existence, the grand void, when overpowers the dissolutions of separateness (vikalpa), narrowness (samkoca), then its state of being in divided contraction ends and the person reaches the extremity from where beginnings and ends emanate. Drawn by the void and its creative silence one attains the source from which the existence emanate (nityodita smadhi) This is the experience of creative vibrancy (mantra virya), through which one attains the unfettered Sivahood.
