The Essence of the Tantra12.4

12.4

तद् इह स्वतन्त्रानन्दचिन्मात्रसारे स्वात्मनि विश्वत्रापि वा तदन्यरूपसंवलनाभिमानः अशुद्धिः सा च महाभैरवसमावेशेन व्यपोह्यते सो ऽपि कस्यचित् झटिति भवेत् कस्यापि उपायान्तरमुखप्रेक्षी

Transliteration (IAST)

tad iha svatantrānandacinmātrasāre svātmani viśvatrāpi vā tadanyarūpasaṃvalanābhimānaḥ aśuddhiḥ sā ca mahābhairavasamāveśena vyapohyate so 'pi kasyacit jhaṭiti bhavet kasyāpi upāyāntaramukhaprekṣī

— whose essence is sheer consciousness, autonomy, and bliss ; — in one's own self ; — or in the universe (in all things) ; — the conceit of being commingled with a form other than that ; — impurity ; — by absorption into the Great Bhairava ; — is removed, is dispelled ; — at once, suddenly ; — one who looks to the help of some other means

So here, in one's own self — whose essence is sheer consciousness, autonomy, and bliss — or indeed in the universe, the conceit of being commingled with a form other than that is impurity; and it is dispelled by absorption into the Great Bhairava. That (absorption), for some, comes about at once; while for another it depends on looking to the help of some other means.
