Anuttara Stika is an anthem, written by the yogi master of Kashmiri Shivaism, Abhinavagupta.

His own birth fits with the claims that he was actually an incarnation of the god Bhairava, conceived through extraordinary circumstances in which his mother and father engaged in ritual sexual union.

In Kashmir it is considered that a descendant of parents with very high spiritual interests and achievements (“established in the supreme essence of Bhairava”) results to be a being with special spiritual endowments.

According to Kashmiri tradition, around 1025 BC, he entered a cave while reciting Bhairavastava with 1200 disciples and they were never seen again.

They supposedly meditated until they translated into another dimension.

Abhinavagupta composed a number of devotional poems (many translated into French), including “Anuttarāṣṭikā -” The 8 verses about Anuttara “

Abhinavagupta describes in the following 8 verses, perhaps, the highest path of spontaneous spiritual realization.

 

Anuttara Stika

Here the process of evolution is no longer necessary

Nor imaginative contemplation,

Neither inspired speech nor debate,

Neither meditation nor concentration,

Not even the striving of prayer.

Tell me,  
what is this Supreme Divine Reality
Conscious and Absolute?
Listen to the answer: Don't give up anything
and keep nothing,
Take part in the joy of everything
and be as you are!
In reality, the world of transient phenomena (samsara)  
nor does it exist,
Then how can it still appear
The idea of any chaining?
If the eternally free
Self can never be chained
,
What else would they strive to free themselves from?
All this is nothing but the hoax of the shadow of a ghost, Or the rope mistakenly considered as a snake, thus producing a senseless fear. Don't give up anything and keep nothing, Rejoice, settled in your Self, exactly as you are! How it could be distinguished in the Supreme Divine Between the worshipper, the adored and adoration itself? How could one talk about such a thing? For whom there would be any progress,
What would this be like
And who would step on an upward path? Even though this illusion appears to be different, It is not, however, separate from the Supreme Divine Consciousness. Everything is nothing else
than the pure nature of Self-knowledge.
Stop worrying unnecessarily!
This happiness is not comparable  
with the joy of wealth
Or a drunkenness with wine
or the love union with the beloved.
The Appearance of This Light
it is by no means comparable
With the lighting of a lamp
nor with the brightness of the Moon or the Sun.
The peace that comes through liberation
from all the differentiation inherent in existence in duality
It's like the relief you feel
after a heavy burden was left to the ground.
The dawn of this light
It's like retrieving a lost treasure:
The treasure trove of the realm of universal nonduality. Love and hate, joy and suffering, creation and resorption Self-confidence and deep despair, They are all states that appear in the world as separate. But they were not, in reality, different.
Anytime you're incarcerated
of some individual form of these states,
Be aware of your identity
between your state and the Supreme Divine Being.
Fulfilled by this contemplation,
Won't you rejoice with all your heart?
What before did not exist suddenly becomes active; So are the states of the flesh in this world. How can they actually exist How long is there a wandering Caused by the change in the "middle state"? Where could you find truth in unreality and fickleness, In the multitude of forms manifested in the illusion of a dream, or In the beautiful deception? Overcome the imperfection to which fear and doubt are connected And wake up! It is not the Primordial One ( Paramashiva ) who is the creator of conditioned states of consciousness, It is your mind that creates them. They do not possess real consciousness, Catching a (apparent) shape just by a momentary hoax. The illusory beauty of the universe appears in the power of your imagination, It has no other origin. That's why you shine through your own brilliance - You have both the nature of the One Divine and a multiple manifestation. The Real and the Unreal, The Single and the Multiple, That which is stained by illusion or the pure Self - All this shines in the clear mirror of enlightened consciousness. If you recognize all these things as having the form of Uncreated Light, If you will recognize in everything and everything the overwhelming brilliance of your Divine Self (Atman) And your brilliance will always be firmly rooted in your own experience, Then you will take full part in the omnipotence of the Lord God ( Paramashive )
Abhinanagupta
