Vigyan Bhairav (continued)

[Guest guest]

51. Fix your mind in your heart when engaged in worldly activity, thus agitation will disappear and in a few days the indescribable will happen. 52. Focus on a fire, fierier and fierier, which raises from your feet and burns you entirely. When there is nothing left but ashes scattered by the wind, know the tranquillity of space which returns to space. 53. See the entire world as a blazing inferno. Then, when all has turned into ashes, enter bliss. 54. If subtler and subtler tattvas are absorbed into their own origin, the supreme Goddess will be revealed to you. 55. Reach an intangible breath focused between your eyes, then when the light appears let the Shakti come down to your heart and there, in the radiant presence, at the moment of sleep, attain the mastery of dreams and know the mystery of death itself. 56. Consider the entire

universe to be dissolving in subtler and subtler forms until it merges into pure consciousness. 57. If, boundless in space, you meditate on Shiva tattva which is the quintessence of the entire universe, you will know ultimate ecstasy. 58. O Great goddess, perceive the spatiality of the universe, and become the jar which contains it. 59. Look at a bowl or a container without seeing its sides or the matter which composes it. In little time become aware of space. 60. Abide in an infinitely spacious place, devoid of trees, hills, dwellings. Let your gaze dissolve in empty space, until your mind relaxes. 61. In the empty space which separates two instants of awareness, radiant spatiality is revealed. 62. Just as you get the impulse to do something, stop. Then, being no more in the preceding impulse nor in the following one, realization blossoms intensely.

63. Contemplate over the undivided forms of your own body and those of the entire universe as being of an identical nature. Thus will your omnipresent being and your own form rest in unity and you will reach the very nature of consciousness. 64. In any activity, concentrate on the gap between inbreath and outbreath. Thus attain to bliss. 65. Feel your substance: bone, flesh and blood, saturated with cosmic essence, and know supreme bliss. 66. O gazelle-eyed beauty, consider the winds to be your own body of bliss. When you quiver, reach the luminous presence. 67. When your senses shiver and you mind becomes still, enter the energy of breath, and, when you feel pins and needles, know supreme joy. 68. When you practice a sex ritual, let thought reside in the quivering of your senses like wind in the leaves, and reach the celestial bliss of ecstatic love.

69. At the start of the union, be in the fire of the energy released by intimate sensual pleasure. Merge into the divine Shakti and keep burning in space, avoiding the ashes at the end. These delights are in truth those of the Self. 70. O goddess! The sensual pleasure of the intimate bliss of union can be reproduced at any moment by the radiant presence of the mind which remembers intensely this pleasure. 71. When you meet again with a loved one, be in this bliss totally and penetrate the luminous space. 72. At the time of euphoria and expansion caused by delicate foods and drinks, be total in this delight and, through it, taste supreme bliss. 73. Merge in the joy felt at the time of musical pleasure or pleasure from other senses. If you immerse in this joy, you reach the divine. 74. Wherever you find satisfaction, the very essence of bliss will be

revealed to you if you remain in this place without mental wavering. 75. At the point of sleep, when sleep has not yet come and wakefulness vanishes, at this very point, know the supreme Goddess. 76. In summer, when your gaze dissolves in the endlessly clear sky, penetrate this light which is the essence of your own mind. 77. You will enter the spatiality of your own mind at the moment when intuition frees itself through steadiness of gaze, love uninterrupted sucking, violent feelings, agony or death. 78. Conformably seated, feet and hands unsupported, enter the space of ineffable fullness. 79. In a comfortable position, hands open at shoulder level, an area of radiant spatiality gradually pervades the armpits, ravishes the heart and brings about profound peace. 80. Steadily gazing without blinking at a pebble, a piece of wood, or any other ordinary

object, thought loses all props and rapidly attains to Shiva/Shakti. 81. Open your mouth, place your mind in your tongue at the center of the oral cavity, exhale with the sound HA and know a peaceful presence to the world. 82. Laying flat, see your body as supportless. Let your thought dissolve into space, and then the contents of the inner core consciousness will dissolve too, and you will experience pure presence, freed from dreams. 83. O Goddess, enjoy the extremely slow movements of your body, of a mount, of a vehicle and, with peace in mind, sink into divine spirit. 84. Gaze at a very clear sky without blinking. Tensions dissolve along with your gaze and then reach the awesome steadiness of Bhairava. 85. Enter the radiant spatiality of Bhairava scattered in your own head, leave space and time, be Bhairava. 86. When you reach Bhairava by dissolving

duality when awake, when this spatial presence continues into dream, and when you then cross the night of deep sleep as the very form of Bhairava, know the infinite splendor of awake consciousness. 87. During a dark and moonless night, eyes open in the dark, let your whole being melt into this obscurity and attain to the form of Bhairava. 88. Eyes closes, dissolve into darkness, then open your eyes and identify with the awesome form of Bhairava. 89. When an obstacle gets in the way of gratification through senses, seize this instant of spatial emptiness which is the very essence of meditation. 90. With all your being, utter a word ending in "AH" and in the "H" let yourself be swept away by the gushing flow of wisdom. 91. When you focus your structure-free mind on the final sound of a letter, immensity is revealed. 92. Waking, sleeping, dreaming,

consciousness free from any prop, know yourself as radiant spatial presence. 93. Pierce a place on your body and, through this one spot, attain to the radiant domain of Bhairava. 94. When through contemplation, ego, active intellect and mind are revealed as empty, any form becomes a limitless space and the very root of duality dissolves. 95. Illusion perturbs, the five sheaths obstruct vision, separations imposed by dualistic thought are artificial. 96. When you become aware of a desire, consider it the time of a snap of fingers, then suddenly let go. Then it returns to the space it just came out of. 97. Before desiring, before knowing: "Who am I, where am I?" such is the true nature of I, such is the spatial depth of reality. 98. When desire or knowledge have manifested, forget their object and focus your mind on object-less desire or knowledge as

being the Self. Then you will reach deep reality. 99. Any particular knowledge is deceptive. When thirst for knowledge arises, immediately realize the spatiality of knowledge itself and be Shiva/Shakti. 100. Consciousness is everywhere, there is no differentiation. Realize this deeply and thus triumph over time.
