Verses 250–259

250. Munees esteem the splendours that appear to the devotee fixed in meditation wonderful and excellent. If they understand, this is the chief spirit.

251. He is no exalted sage who cannot view the globules or his ringing sound, nor unite the splendours. Whatever pains he takes how shall he attain beatitude?

252. Let us know the time of attaining the truth and thus become the eternal. Let us thoroughly attain the mystic form (bindu) that exists with (lit. in) the sound (nadam). Then shall we attain bliss, and participate with no others in that enjoyment.

253. He that can convert the nadam into the bindu and into the nadam again, also convert the nadu, the bindu, and the kala into one (place) and perceive the sound, this man shall become the yogee full of bliss.

254. The devotee who knoweth the internal sound produced in meditation, shall with joy know the soul within him and attain felicity. That sound is the giver of beatitude, proclaim this for the consolation of all men.

255. The yogee who knows the sound (nadam) shall in his mind know the path described in the vedanta proclaim abroad that this sound is the means of beatitude.

256. Lose the idea of "mine and thine" and be illustrious in the belief of exalted abstraction (nadam). By the absence of the belief and disbelief, thou shalt attain prudence.

257. He who through instruction hath attained the (nadam, the bindu and the kala) ringing sound, the globules and the splendours, that he perceives who in meditation seals his eyes and ears, he who establishes these in his soul and well fixes his wandering mind, this is the mighty sage whose soul shall obtain its passage through the sagittal suture of the skull.

258. The saint who knoweth the (nadam) ringing sound shall know the indivisible God and the mystic syllable. That is the seed of the five charactered name (Namassivaya). Proclaim to men that the nadam in the mind is the beatitude.

259. Convert the nadam and bindu into one nadam and convert the nadam, the bindu and the kala into a single nadam, to meditate while beholding the nadam, this is perfection.
