Vijnana Bhairava 125 126 Being The Same In Extremes

 The practice of tasting the source-core of extreme emotions in relationships :

samaḥ śatrau ca mitre ca samo mānāvamānayoḥ ||

brahmaṇaḥ paripūrṇatvāt iti jñātvā sukhī bhavet || 125 ||

"Same with ennemies and friends,

same in praise and blame,

because the Ever-expanding One is allways full :

realizing that, one will be at ease."

na dveṣam bhāvayet kvāpi na rāgam bhāvayet kvacit |

rāgadveṣavinirmuktau madhye brahma prasarpati || 126 ||

"One should not linger on hate,

nor cultivate love :

in the center free from love and hate,

the Ever-expanding One reveals himself."

Vijnana Bhairava 121 122 Awakeing Through Love and Ordinary Attention

 The practice of true devotion and of ordinary attention :

bhaktyudrekād viraktasya yādṛśī jāyate matiḥ |

sā śaktiḥ śāṅkarī nityam bhavayet tāṃ tataḥ śivaḥ || 121 ||

"That awareness that arises

in one who is detached because of an excess of devotion,

that is divine power ; one should amways realise her

(and) then become divine."

vastvantare vedyamāne sarvavastuṣu śūnyatā |

tām eva manasā dhyātvā vidito 'pi praśāmyati || 122 ||

"When one perceive a thing,

emptyness (arises) slowly (shanaih) with regard to everything (else).

That (emptiness) one should pay attention to.

Even though the (perceived objet) is still perceived, one is freed (from the fever of exclusive duality)."
