“Churn the milk of the mind, yourself the churner

Locate the Primal Point and Sound,

break it down with meditation

Heat the butter of knowledge

Spirituality empowered, you will find the ghee

With these ingredients, a yagna I perform

Offering the oblation of my own limbs.

The flames that rise are your own effulgence

In them my essence revealed,

I stand as myself, finally.

~ Rupa Bhavani (1625-1721)”
