Scintillating within this very [vital] utterance, the sound that resembles an inarticulate imitation is the phoneme (varṇa). Its principal form lies in the seed-syllables of emission and withdrawal, and from practicing that comes the gaining of supreme consciousness. To explain: in any phoneme from "ka" to "ma," whether with a vowel or without, whether uttered inwardly or merely recalled, the equally distinctive touch of the vibration of consciousness — being independent of convention — is complete. Even words that disregard convention produce their meanings, as in daydreaming and the like, through the touch of the consciousness of the Absolute. Having unified heart, throat, and lips, one should unify the two dvādaśāntas and the heart. Such is the secret of the phoneme.
