VERSE 99
"Beautiful Body" - this comes from placing yourself at the O point.
Normalisation is two - sided.



" Esprit Affiné" is numerator,
" Esprit Géomètrique" is denominator.



This is mentioned here because it denotes complete normalisation at the O point, where they benefit.


VERSE 1 The starting postulates are:
1) Shiva cannot pulsate without the Devi.
2) Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva worship the Devi.
3) The worshipper is outside the religious context.
On this all the 100 verses are built.


SLP1 - P2


There is a strict methodology in the Saundarya Lahari, as in
Descartes, where "Res Cogitans" is vertical and "Res Extensa" is horizontal.
.

slp1-p2-v99

.

.



Why do you want the Absolute?
The twentieth century is relativistic.
The normalisation of the relative and the Absolute is in the Saundarya Lahari.
"Long life" - everyone wants to live long.
Mukambika (the silent Devi) is normalised; the medium and the message meet :
this is protolinguism, this is the final paradox.


SLP1 - P3


Cancellation involves a vertical axis.
Complete cancellation is Absolute, there is no return.
In the Saundarya Lahari there are different grades of cancellation: the marital string, crowns, Indra, the most high God.
The final cancellation is the Vidyarthi, or Wisdom-seeker, asking for no relativistic pleasure, only for the gift of poetry or Vidya (wisdom).
Push cancellation beyond the upper and lower limits, push it beyond any horizontal taint.


SLP1 - P4


The Vidyarthi does not seek even salvation, only the gift of poetry.
"Put Your feet on my head" - an analogy with this is that the Alpha point of one octave is the Omega point of a lower octave.
Burn the seed of rebirth, planted at the base of the vertebral column.
The nearest cancellation is of hunger and food - it is Absolute at a certain level.


This is illustrated by the following example:
You faint at the dentist's:
You open your eyes :"who is this man?" this is Manas, (consciousness at a basic level)
below is Pranam (breath),
below is Annam (food)
below is Vijnanam:"I owe this dentist 5 rupees, I must run away".


SLP1 - P5


Ahamkara (not in this series) is similar - it is ego- consciousness - slightly bad.
(This example is usually used by the Guru to illustrate Manas, Buddhi, Chitta, Ahamkara )


Each one of these four is a cancellation.
Food with hunger,
Fainting with drawing breath, etc.


In mythical geography, above Manas Sarovar ("Mind-Lake") is the Sapta Rishi Mandala, where the seven Rishis pluck lotuses from Manas Sarovar and cast them upwards.
In Manas Sarovar, girls are bathing and painting their eyes in mica-rock mirrors.


SLP1 - P6


"Extremely jealous" - jealousy is sometimes bad, but is also a sign of concern for the wife.
Parvati is the ultimate limit of constancy.
Shiva is extreme jealousy.
When these are cancelled, it gives you great delight and absolute beauty, nothing is left out.
ONE WHO CONTRADICTS HIS OWN NATURE GOES MAD.
MADNESS IS FALSEHOOD TO ONESELF.


LSD is the denominator vision,
the Numerator vision is outside.


SLP1 - P7


There are 18 Kalas, nine visual, and nine auditory.
There are nine expressions - see VERSE 51


Tagore - art is when two lovers want to say "I love you" and cannot.
The poet, who is hiding in the bushes gives them expression for their sentiments.


VERSE 7
Kvanat kanchi dhama....
Why are the breasts like the frontal bulges of a calf elephant?
How does the change from slimness to heavy breasts take place?
It is an ascending dynamism, not descending.
The purushikaa (positive version of the Devi)emerges because of the change to the fourth dimension.

SLP1 - P9


THE FOUR OBJECTS HELD BY THE DEVI IN VERSE 7: The goad and noose regulate vertical progression.
The sugar-cane bow and flower arrow are for piercing the hearts of people.
The bow and arrow are symbolic monomarks frequent in the Upanishads.
Occasionalism is the interaction and participation of mind and matter.
(see Descartes)
.

slp1-p9-v14

.


A year is verticalized upwards.
Reciprocity - compensation - complementarity are all present.


SLP1 - P10


VERSE 15
Honey, milk and grapes - this is still a sensuous paradise.
"Worship even once" perhaps there is a very slight satirical touch here.
The matted hair is negative.
(John Stuart Mill - the principle of agreement and difference, Uha-Apoha in Sanskrit - see Jnana Darsanam in the Darsana Mala and the Science of the Absolute.


SLP1 - P10


VERSE 24
Sadashiva (supreme Shiva) is the highest Omega point, but has to be cancelled against the Devi at the Alpha point.


VERSE 25
There is a footstool, not a throne here, it is ontological.
It is jewelled, which confers dignity on it.
This is the cancellation between hierophany and hypostasy.
See in the Gita, there is a tree with roots below and above.
The twin feet are above, the stool is below.


VERSE 27
These are ensembles - see Cantor.
There is one-one correspondence.


SLP1 - P12


PROBLEMS THAT NEED EXPLANATION:
1) The wife is kicking Shiva
2) Eros mocks Shiva
3) Her behind is cancelled
4) She is teaching cygnets how to walk (see Kovillan and Kannegi)
(Sillipadhikaranam - gem-set anklets.)
5) A three-wheeled and a four-wheeled chariot.
- Shiva is mounted on a chariot, with the earth as the front wheel
6) What is Shiva's status without the Devi?
7) What is the difference between Subrahmanya and Ganesha?


VERSE 30 AND 31
.

slp1-p13-v31


Sankara rejects benefits, his position is "Tat tvam asi"- "You are that (the Absolute)" .
Puja (worship)can be done to Sankara himself, because there is an inter-physical and trans-subjective transformation.
She imitates the "jhang" sound of the anklets with Her voice: this is Numerator.
The medium is the message.
.

.

.


THERE ARE THREE LEVELS OF WORSHIP: These are three grades of spirituality:
1) Doomsday dissolution
2) Shiva confers Siddhis (psychic powers)
3) The Devi confers Anima (psychic power)


VERSE 100
Moonstone water has an upward effect as well as a downward one.
Ramanuja's Brahma Sutra Bhasya (commentary) says that you can sprinkle fire as well as water : similarly here.
Water in the moon? The moon is feminine and can also be called watery.


SLP1 - P15


Tantra is centred on Maithuna Maha Bhogya.(great sexual enjoyment):
here this is treated as athilagu or worthless.
The Saundarya Lahari supplies a Numerator:
Sun and moon are her twin breasts.
Ramakrishna learnt his Vedanta from a Sudra Sannyasin (low caste ascetic).
One should exercise common sense and also have a willingness to believe;
one should be between the two, an attitude of "Maybe, maybe not".


SLP1 - P16


Separate a parameter from the phenomenal world
Separate Shiva from Shakti.
The 64 know-how factors - the Shaktyas talk of 64 Mahanirvanatantras.
Note that 64 is 8 times 8
There are books in various libraries that claim to be teachings of Shiva to Parvati.

At the other side of this is double negation.

SLP1 - P19

VERSE 35
She becomes the wife of Shiva, She returns from being a great Goddess to the first dimension as a humble wife.

SLP1 - P34

Tragic and Absolutist are the same.
But the Sri Chakra is not tragic, it is an analysis.

Brahma Chakra is a black hole
Brahma Randra is a white hole

SLP1 - P35

Beauty is made up of line, light and colour.
The Brahma Chakra and the Brahma Randra are omitted
- they are mathematical and not emotional.
If you have the correct focus, you do not see anything
- it must be a little over- or under-focused.

Objectivity and Subjectivity must be adjusted.
Cancellation means only "Tat Tvam Asi" ("thou art that" (the Absolute)
- which means you cannot see anything.

Brahma Randra - the "smoke" is a touch of negativity.
There is a slight asymmetry between the Saubhagya Lakshmi and the Yoga Raja Upanishads - as between male and female.
Sankara will not allow this slight asymmetry.
