What does Maha mean?
Maha means great.
The capacity of the mind
Is broad and great, like space;
It has no boundaries;
It is neither square nor round
Neither great nor small;
Neither blue nor yellow;
Neither long nor short;
Neither anger nor joy;
Neither right nor wrong;
It has neither head nor tail.

Fundamentally void and does
Not contain a single thing.

and their name and form disappear,

and enter into the radiance of the Supreme Spirit
who is greater than all greatness.

When the right combination is found, tumblers tumble open.

We taste, and see.

Sacred sensuous.
