I\u2019ll briefly explain what that practice is about. <em>Bindu<\/em> and a tendency to create are manifested through tension of <em>n\u0101da<\/em>, which is generated by\u00a0<em>\u015aiva<\/em>, playing with\u00a0<em>\u015aakti<\/em>. Then\u00a0<em>\u015aiva<\/em> manifests himself in the forms of <em>v\u0101caka<\/em> (he who manifests speech) and <em>v\u0101cya<\/em> (what is manifesting), which are designated as <em>arthas<\/em> (objects). Such self-manifestation of\u00a0<em>\u015aiva<\/em> has three levels: <em>para<\/em> (supreme), <em>s\u016bk\u1e63ma<\/em> (subtle) and <em>sth\u016bla<\/em>\u00a0(gross), each of whom are divided in two, the one where <em>v\u0101caka<\/em> (subject) prevails and the other, where\u00a0<em>v\u0101cya<\/em> (objectivity) prevails. On the <em>para<\/em> level the subject is <em>v\u0101r\u1e47a<\/em> (<em>m\u0101trikas<\/em>) and the object is <em>kal\u0101<\/em> (aspects of creation).
