The Light of the Tantras (1000) - Page 18

Then, this is His supreme face, the abode of the expansion of emission,

Beautiful with the bliss of the universe, rising from the manifestation of the Absolute.

It exists as the seed of everything, not distinct from the face to come,

Known as the vibration of the heart, the rising of the supreme essence, the formless wave.

This is the supreme Trika the threefold system of Trika Shaivism, subtle and devoid of the division of all powers.

Thus.

And now, the "Heart":

'The heart is the śaktisūtra the thread of power...'

By such statements, through the thread of the entire cycle of powers beginning with the śṛṣṭikālpa the cycles of creation and time, the form of the glorious Kālisaṅkarṣaṇī the Devouring Goddess of Time shines forth. The meaning is: "May I be one through identification with the manifesting light." And what kind of state is that? It is stated as the "Anuttarāmṛtakula" the family of the supreme nectar of the Absolute. Because the acts of creation and the rest dissolve precisely here, there is no "higher" anuttara nothing superior to it beyond it. Therefore, it is "nectar," whose ultimate reality is merely the wonder of one's own self; and for this reason, it is the "family" kula the totality of divine energy.
