Beyond Purity and Impurity: Abhinavagupta’s Tender Thunderbolt (Tantrāloka 4.215–224)

He finds God quickest, whose concentration and yearning are strongest.

If you want to rise, if you want to be free, you must become strong and active and cut your bonds! Vanquish your enemies, be a terror to them! Shake off all cowardice and manifest your strength!

After attaining Jnana and Siddhi, one may set rules and and regulations aside. But a Sadhakas life should be subject to strict discipline.

God is known to be One when a person enters into the state of Samadhi; but as long as there is any consciousness of I, you, jiva, and the world, God is perceived as many.

Meditation and contemplation should be kept up always. - we should gain the power of mental concentration by constant practice.

Mother makes different dishes to suit each of her children - Sat Guru gives different disciplines for disciples of diverse temperaments.

"Guru, father, and doer – these three words prick my body like thorns....Mother, You are the mechanic, I am Your instrument. I work as You make me work; I speak as You make me speak"

When you are Realized, a great power takes you over and runs your life for you. If you are not in this state, then use your discrimination wisely. Pretending that 'all is one' may get you into trouble.

Be angry but do not become blind with anger - A man living in society should make a show of tamas to protect himself from evil-minded people.

Why is there so much suffering in the world and so few attain the vision of God and are liberated?

Great effort is needed in the beginning, like for a rocket to leave the Earth; afterwards Path becomes straight and efortless

As soon as money comes to a man, he becomes so different

What is the use of pilgrimages if you can attain love of God remaining where you are?

Bondage is of the mind, and freedom is also of the mind. The wretch who constantly says, 'I am bound, I am bound', only succeeds in being bound.

if She likes, Devi can give freedom to all. Why, then, has She kept us bound to the world?
