सिद्धान्तशिखामणि (शिवयोगी रेणुकाचार्य - वीरशैव षट्स्थल दर्शन एवं शक्तिविशिष्टाद्वैत महाग्रन्थ)

A preamble to Śrī Siddhāntaśikhāmaṇi
अद्वैतपरमानन्दमुदितो देहिवच्चरेत् ।।६१।।
न प्रपञ्चे निजे देहे न धर्मे न च दुष्कृते।
गतवैषम्यधीर्धीरो यतिश्चरति देहिवत् ।।६२।।
The Yogin who is totally free from desire, anger, etc.,
and who is endowed with peace and restraint, wanders with
an attitude of equality (towards everything) and with the
conception of Śiva in everything. (58) The Yogin wanders
everywhere without thinking that this is superior or that is
inferior looking upon everything as Brahman. (59) The
Yogin who is stationed with his Self merged in the Supreme
Soul, wanders without experiencing joy at felicitations or
sorrow at insults. (60) He moves like one endowed with a
body, delighted as he is with the supreme bliss of non-duality
and is making all the people astonished by his uncommon
(extraordinary) qualities. (61) The wise Yogin wanders as
one endowed with a body, free from all ideas of inequality
towards the world, his own body, meritorious action or sinful
action. (62)
प्राकृतैश्वर्यसम्पत्तिपराङ्मुखमनःस्थितिः।
चिदानन्दनिजात्मस्थो मोदते मुनिपुङ्गवः ।।६३।।
The excellent sage (Śivayogin) enjoys the state of mind
which has turned away from the munificence of the ordinary
type, residing in his self-same nature of the bliss of
awareness. (63)
स्वयमेव स्वयं भूत्वा चरतः स्वस्वरूपतः।
परं नास्तीति बोधस्य परत्वमभिधीयते ।।६४।।
The state of realisation that there is nothing beyond the
form of his own Self in one who wanders in his self-same
form all by himself as the absolute Self, is called "Paratva"
(the highest state). (64)
स्वतन्त्रः सर्वकृत्येषु स्वं परत्वेन भावितः।
तृणीकुर्वन् जगज्जालं वर्तते शिवयोगिराट् ।।६५।।
The Lord among the Śivayogins is free in all activities,
assumes his Self as the Supreme Self and looks upon the net-
work of worlds as equal to a straw of grass. (65)
वर्णाश्रमसमाचारमार्गनिष्ठापराङ्मुखः ।
सर्वोत्कृष्टं स्वमात्मानं पश्यन् योगी तु मोदते ।।६६।।
The Yogin (Śivayogin) enjoys looking at his own Self as
superior to all, being averse to the attachment to the path of
Varṇāśrama practices. (66)
विश्वातीतं परं ब्रह्म शिवाख्यं चित्स्वरूपकम्।
तदेवाहमिति ज्ञानी सर्वोत्कृष्टः स उच्यते ।।६७।।
The enlightened person who realises the Supreme
Brahman called Śiva which transcends the universe and
which is of the nature of awareness (knowledge) as himself,
is said to be superior to everything. (67)
अचलं ध्रुवमात्मानमनुपश्यन्निरन्तरम्।
निरस्तविश्वभ्रान्तिर्जीवन्मुक्तो भवेन्मुनिः ।।६८।।
Looking upon himself incessantly as the immovable and
stable Self, the sage (Śivayogin) is liberated even while alive
with the delusion of the world having disappeared. (68)
ब्रह्माद्याः किं नु कुर्वन्ति देवताः कर्ममार्गगाः।
कर्मातीतपदस्थस्य स्वयं ब्रह्मस्वरूपिणः ।।६९।।
What can the deities, Brahman, etc., who are following
the path of "Karma", do to him who is in a state which is
beyond Karma and who is himself of the nature of Brahman.
