May Thou accompanied by Thy Divine Sakti (ie, the Mother of the Universe, Siva's consort, known variously as Uma, Parvati, Gauri, etc.) enter into, and take residence in, the shining and movable tent of my mind, which is fixed every day on the royal road of divine contemplation, and which has the will as the pillar for its support, the Gunas (ie, dispositions of Nature), as its strong ropes, the numerous tendencies as its multiple colours, and the psychic centres as its lotus designs. |
