Śailādi said: Make the lamp of Oṃkāra and seek the lord of the house who is subtle and who is stationed in the beginning and within. Restrain the most powerful organic wind that stays at the door [i.e. the pores] of the body and the leader of the sense-organs (i.e. mind). For what reason do you nurture fear by means of a network of words? No fear is seen at all. See Siva stationed in the body. Why do you wander amongst the network of scriptural texts, that is but darkness?
