Their thoughts are filled with Śiva, having destroyed the soul’s triple bondages. Pure Śaivas they have become, and they shall not return to worldly bondage. Shouts, confusion and fights in this world they do not indulge in. They remain immersed in constant inner sound and endless inner space. ¶The wise impart divine knowledge only to those fully ripened to receive it. With you facing east or south, your disciple facing west or north, take him gently to the limits of the vast infinite. In this way instruct him, with the śakti of the Lord centered in your mind. §
