Vijnana Bhairava 133 134 135 Everything Is Illusion

 

Realizing that all is illusion, that Consciousness has no connexion to the body and the world :

atattvam indrajālābham idaṃ sarvam avasthitam |

kiṃ tattvam indrajālasya iti dārḍhyāc chamaṃ vrajet || 133 ||

"All this is like a magic trick,

devoid of reality :

what reality in a magic trick ?

With such a conviction, one goes to peace."

ātmano nirvikārasya kva jñānaṃ kva ca vā kriyā |

jñānāyattā bahirbhāvā ataḥ śūnyam idaṃ jagat || 134 ||

"The Self doesn't change :

how could it konw or act ?

All outer phenomena depend on consciousness.

Therefore, this world is empty."

na me bandho na mokṣo me bhītasyaitā vibhīṣikāḥ |

pratibimbam idam buddher jaleṣv iva vivasvataḥ || 135 ||

"There is no bondage for me, no freedom :

all those are scarecrows for scared ones.

This is a (mere) reflection in the intellect,

like the sun in (different) pieces of water."
