From the pure mass of existence-consciousness shines forth the universe everywhere.

Parisphurati: it shines forth, radiates, emanates in all directions. It is sphuraṇa, a luminous pulsation, not a progressive creation. The universe is not built piece by piece; it is parisphuraṇa, the simultaneous irradiation of cid-ghana. Just as the sun does not emit rays one by one, but radiates a continuous light. In the same way, cid-ghana irradiates the viśva—not as something distinct, but as its own effulgence.

Śuddha-sattāyāḥ: of pure existence. Not of a purified existence, but of that whose very nature is purity; śuddha not as a process but as essence. The sādhaka who meditates upon parisphuraṇa experiences the world as irradiation, not as accumulation. They do not see things being added; they see light taking form. Every object is sphuraṇa, a momentary pulse of cit. There is no enduring substance; there is continuous sattā manifesting as discontinuous appearances.

The practice of trāṭaka—steady gazing upon a light—prepares one for this vision: to see the world as made of light, not of matter.
