“Joy and pain alternate. The consciousness in which they arise embraces both.”
Inspired by Abhinavagupta
To the card
Anuttarāṣṭikā, verse 5. Opposite states appear different but are described as not separate from the one consciousness. Freely phrased, not a literal quotation. The hymn speaks from the perspective of anuttara/anupāya and does not deny all the paths of practice of Kashmir Śaivism.
