Maharshi: Karpura arati ^[?] is symbolic of the burning away of the mind by the light of illumination, vibhuti ^[?] (sacred ashes) is Siva (Absolute Being) and kumkuma (vermilion powder) is Sakti (consciousness). Vibhuti ^[?] is of two kinds: Para vibhuti ^[?] and apara vibhuti ^[?]. The sacred ashes are of the latter class. The para ^[?] is what remains over after all the dross has been burnt away by the Fire of Realisation. It is Absolute Being.
