sanjaya uvaca tam tatha krpayavistam asru-purnakuleksanam visidantam idam vakyam uvaca madhusudanah To Arjuna, who were drenched in tears, with downcast sorrowful eyes, Krishna spoke these words.
1
The drops symbolize the vital, which resemble mercury. The mercury of this work is at the profoundest depths of the firmament. Unlike ordinary mercury, it is beyond the elements, and is unaffected by fire. Infuse the body with this mercury by lifting it up in will, and have it axially fill the body. As the body is formed from the primordial seed, the mercury, the primordial seed, evolves into the new body. Do the 12 spins as described in the Tibetan Rites. Spread the arms out at the shoulder level to each side, palms facing down, and turn the body from left to right, visualizing yourself in that mercury ocean. Lift up the mercury in will and fill the body with it, as you turn. Do this a few times daily . After doing the 12 turns, have the surface body embrace the mercury-formed body, and become one with it.
2
Afterwards, breathe-out slowly, bending the body forward at the waist. Breathe out entirely, and then bring the body upright again. Wait a few moments before breathing in, and then take in a deep breath. Relax, and take a few deep breaths. This exercise creates a vacuum and upward drawing of the mercury, and is to be done once. Physical activity enables evolutioning of the mercury streams on to the surface body. Ensure a good amount of physical activity every day. Ensure an hour’s walk. Keep updrawing in will the mercury, as you walk. Keep the attention on the mercury-formed body, often. Ensure good nutrition. Good nutrition forms a bind between the surface body, and mercury formed body. Virtuous activation of the indriyas, the senses, and the action organs, hasten the evolutioning of the mercury-formed body. Stillness, meditation enables evolutioning of the mercury. Spend a few minutes in still meditation.

In Will and Mercury, the surface body is dissolved. Union the dissolved with the mercury-formed body. The mercury-formed body absorbs the dissolved. The mercury-body forms inside as the system is filled with the mercury updrawn from the profoundest, beyond the firmament. Not the ordinary mercury, but the mercury unaffected by fire. The Will animates the Mercury. The Mercury Ocean exists beyond the firmament, in the profoundest depths. Dissolving away from perception all that can be dissolved away, the imperishable mercury ocean is found. The Mercury is Updrawn in The Will.
4
The Will and The Mercury form One. The Will is freed from the perishable matter, as the perishable surface body matter is dissolutioned. The dissolutioned is Unioned with the Imperishable Mercury Formed Body. The Will is Unioned with the Imperishable Mercury Body. A process of dissolutioning the forming perishable into the Imperishable Mercury Body is established eternally.
5
The formed mind, the perishable mind, the psyche, is dissolutioned. The dissolutioned is absorbed into the Mercury body. Perceive the sensations, and the world, with the Mercury formed body. Have The Will abide in the Mercury formed body, as One.
6
sri-bhagavan uvaca kutas tva kasmalam idam visame samupasthitam anarya-justam asvargyam akirti-karam arjuna From where did this dirt arise, the sorrow arising together with it, non-aryan, non-heavenly, not glorious, is this, O Arjuna. Dissolve out the identification with the world. The identification with the world is the origin of the dirt. By the weapon of non-identification, dispel it.
7
If the mercury used is beyond the elements, of the profoundest, beyond nature, it is unaffected by the elements, and the dirt doesn’t touch it. Work with that mercury. Let the attention be on the mercury formed body, the surface body observes the deeper mercury formed body, is absorbed into and Unioned with it as One. It embraces the new body, as Adam embraces Eve, and it forms One. The work is also done in the Union. Adam embraces his own wife. Abiding in the love, the vital, and the mercury rises. Have the mercury beyond the firmament rise in will, into the body, and infuse it. Abide in that mercury-ocean beyond the firmament. The act is to be ended without loss of the vital, the neuroanatomical disruptioning that results in the seperationing of the body and the vital. Neither approaches the state of disruption, as the state of one partner reflects in the other. The state Adam needs inside, he engenders in his wife. And the inner state he naturally projects on his wife.
8
The fire is thus eternally kindled, and the act of love intensifies every time, the mercury kept evolving, the outer process reflects inside. The adept ought never spill the mercurial, nor end up having his surface body and the vital mercurial separated. The surface layers of the mind is dissolved, and the perception of what is, emerges. The obscuring layers re-form when the mercurial principle is separated from the body, and it ought never be allowed. Abide with great seriousness and diligence in this work, one’s whole lifetime. Never being deviated by the world, ideas of the world, or the world drawing away attention.

klaibyam ma sma gamah partha naitat tvayy upapadyate ksudram hrdaya-daurbalyam tyaktvottistha parantapa
Don’t move in weak identification with the world. Abandon the base weakness of heart, identification with the base matter, and rise O Scorcher of all that’s external.
10
arjuna uvaca katham bhismam aham sankhye dronam ca madhusudana isubhih pratiyotsyami pujarhav ari-sudana
Arjuna Says: How do I dissolution the manifest breath – Bhishma, and the perception of the Universe, Drona, the sound, the drone. Drona’s son is Aswatta-ma, the tree, the world tree, the activated in world-perception, which is to be discarded by the weapon of non-identification. Be beyond identification with the world, be identified with The One.
11
gurun ahatva hi mahanubhavan sreyo bhoktum bhaiksyam apiha loke hatvartha-kamams tu gurun ihaiva bhunjiya bhogan rudhira-pradigdhan
These principles if I destroy, in desire, then the blood smeared world I’d have to enjoy. The world-process is to be destroyed.
12
na caitad vidmah kataran no gariyo yad va jayema yadi va no jayeyuh yan eva hatva na jijivisamas te 'vasthitah pramukhe dhartarastrah I don’t see what’s profounder, Winning or being won, Having killed whom I wouldn’t desire life, They stand here.
13
karpanya-dosopahata-svabhavah prcchami tvam dharma-sammudha-cetah yac chreyah syan niscitam bruhi tan me sisyas te 'ham sadhi mam tvam prapannam By tiny thoughts, the self-nature obscured, I ask Thee for the truth.

15
sanjaya uvaca evam uktva hrsikesam gudakesah parantapah na yotsya iti govindam uktva tusnim babhuva ha

Pleasantly smiling, Krishna spoke these words.
17
sri-bhagavan uvaca asocyan anvasocas tvam prajna-vadams ca bhasase gatasun agatasums ca nanusocanti panditah

19
dehino 'smin yatha dehe kaumaram yauvanam jara tatha dehantara-praptir dhiras tatra na muhyati

The imperishable pervades all these. The imperishable is to be identified as that which isn’t destroyed by anything. Destroying the destroyable, find the imperishable.

atha cet tvam imam dharmyam sangramam na karisyasi tatah sva-dharmam kirtim ca hitva papam avapsyasi
If you do not undertake this, and do this well, then you will fall into the grave error of ignoring own dharma.

Engage in action emerging from one’s own inner self.
