The left hand symbolizes creation (蝉峁涐梗峁璱) and the right, destruction (蝉补峁僪腻谤补). The union of the two is the 鈥楰u峁囜笉alin墨 of the Self鈥� which is the Supreme Power, the primordial energy 鈥楤eyond Mind鈥� (尘补苍辞苍尘补苍墨). It is the Supreme Gesture (尘耻诲谤腻) that brings about universal pervasion, and he who knowst it, knows the entire universe. When the hands are joined, the emissive power of consciousness (惫颈蝉补谤驳补-艣补办迟颈) rises up out of the genital region and comes to reside in the foundation of this Gesture by uniting creation and destruction.a-辫墨峁环补.
