Namo Guru!
The precious Lord embodies enlightenment’s five dimensions.
I prostrate to and praise this Precious One
Who dispels the darkness of wanderers’ suffering
With nondual, great, everlasting bliss.Wonderful visions of yidam deities and
Fearsome apparitions of obstructing demons are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!Obtaining high rebirth or liberation and
Falling into the three unhappy destinations are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!The mind busy with perceived and perceiver and
The peaceful state of nonconceptuality are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!Complete happiness and comfort and
Overwhelming pain and suffering are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!Being well-respected and worshipfully served and
Being derisively laughed at and beaten are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!Wandering alone in mountain retreats and
Traveling the countries of the world are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!Having the finest food and drink and
Living in hunger without nourishment are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!Not crashing the ground with your skull and
Taking birth again and again are
Not separable within the pure expanse—
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!This is the melody of the eight types of nonduality;
I have but a mere understanding of what true union is;
Not falling into confusion is very important.
