She is the perception consisting of the manifestation of all things within supreme consciousness in a state of oneness (sāmarasya), and so is Union (mela). The inner abiding state of the light (of consciousness) as a state of oneness is the withdrawal of (all) manifestations (ābhāsa) (brought about) when this same (energy) has turned in on itself in all respects (samantataḥ—samantatas). [...]”.
