(18) The Clear Light is utilized on the Path by means of the application of the selected teachings concerning the blending of the state of dhyāna [i.e. profound meditation] and the state of sleep.

(19) In this [i.e. the process of the blending of the state of dhyāna and the state of sleep], supplication is to be made to the Gurus, to the end that one may be able to recognize the Clear Light. Then firmly resolve that thou wilt recognize it.

(20) When lying down to sleep, lie so as to sleep with the right side downward, in accordance with the lying-posture of a lion.

(21) Then, imagining one’s own body to be that of the tutelary deity, within the heart visualize a four-petalled lotus, having at the centre of the upper surface of its pericarp the syllable HŪM; on the upper surface of the front petal, the syllable ĂH; on the upper surface of the right petal, the syllable NŬ; on the upper surface of the rear petal, the syllable TĂ; and on the upper surface of the left petal, the syllable RĂ; each syllable vividly defined.3

(22) Then, while subsiding into sleep, let all visible and audible things subside into thyself.

(23) Then, let thyself subside into the four-petalled lotus.

(24) Then, when sleep is overpowering thee, let all these experiences subside into the front ĂH; then that into the right NŪ; then that into the rear TĂ; then that into the left RĂ; then that into the HUM at the centre; then the vowel-sign of the HUM into the HA parts of the HŪM; then these into the surmounting crescent-sign of the HŪM; then that into the circle [or dot] above it; and then that into the flamelike flourish above the circle [or dot].1

(25) When cognition of this visualization is fading, then think that thou art profoundly sleeping in the state of the Clear Light. By so doing one entereth into the state of the yoga of the retrospective analysis [or meditation].2

(26) Or one may concentrate the mind upon the series of syllables taken togetherĂH, NŬ, TĂ, RĂ, HŬM—which is called the Complete Cognition.

(27) While thus meditating, in the interval between the waking-state and the sleeping-state, one experienceth the Light.1

(28) The state of being overcome with sleep is known as the Ignition.

(29) The state of falling asleep is known as the Attainment.2

(30) The dawning of the Clear Light in deep sleep is the Mother Clear Light.

(31) By making the process of the gradual subsidence into sleep the basis [of the practice], while keeping the mind free of thought (in which mental condition the gradual subsidence appeareth as the Voidness), the Offspring Clear Light dawneth.3

(32) The recognizing of the Fundamental [or Mother] Clear Light by that method, being like the recognizing of a person whom one had previously known, is called ‘ Blending of the Clear Light of the Mother and Son’.4
