Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)

: Google Books: Manthanabhairavatantram

Citi (啶氞た啶むた) refers to the 鈥�(power of) consciousness)鈥�, according to Ar峁嘺si峁僪a鈥檚 Mah膩nayaprak膩艣a verse 134.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淭he 艢膩mbhava (state) is the one in which the power of consciousness (citi) suddenly (蝉补丑补蝉腻) dissolves away into the Great Void called the Inactive (苍颈岣辫补苍诲补) that is profound and has no abode. Cognitive awareness (箩帽腻苍补) arises here in the form of a subtle wave of consciousness out of that ocean of emptiness, which is the perfectly peaceful condition of the dissolving away of destruction. [...] Again, that same (principle) free of the cognitive process (蝉补峁僾颈迟迟颈办补濒补苍腻) is the supreme absolute (niruttara) said to be the 艢膩mbhava state of emptiness (惫测辞尘补艣腻尘产丑补惫补)鈥�.

context information
