We were carrying out the Union, the godsproviding our imaginations with a fine materiality thatquenched our thirst.Devi asked me to thread the flowers together to make agarland. I made them slide down the string one after theother while she prepared hers. Then came the offering. Devientered into the sound, and then, without emerging fromthis state of deep absorption, she indicated to me that itwas time to touch her heart and the secret points beforeperfuming her limbs. On the silver platter, I opened theflasks, their many essences ravishing me.When that was done, she took her turn perfuming me.Then she emitted a very deep sound of such low intensitythat it seemed to be sustaining itself on its own infinitevibration. Without even knowing when the sound was bornin me, I realized at a certain moment that I was emittingthe same sound and that it was penetrating us totally.Devi drew me toward her. I began to travel up and downthe terrain of her body like a traveler thirsting for infiniteslowness. She did the same, and we found ourselves immediatelyinscribed in each other's consciousness.When the mantra AUM gave us access to each other'sbreath and voice, Devi's master and his Shakti respondedto our invitation and came to install themselves on the thickcushions. A musician invited by Devi took his sarod out ofits case while the tabla player tuned his two instrumentswith the help of a little hammer. The sarod player turnedthe pegs of the instrument, tightening or loosening thestrings until they were perfectly in tune.161
