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."

Vijnana Bhairava 131 132 Awakening Though Ego And Pointers

 

The practice of plunging into "I am" and the practice of pointers :

ahaṃ mamedam ityādi pratipattiprasaṅgataḥ |

nirādhāre mano yāti taddhyānapreraṇāc chamī || 131 ||

"I am, that is mine" on the occasion

of such perceptions,

the mind goes to what is free.

By the power of such a contemplation, one heals."

nityo vibhur nirādhāro vyāpakaś cākhilādhipaḥ |

śabdān pratikṣaṇaṃ dhyāyan kṛtārtho 'rthānurūpataḥ || 132 ||

"Eternal, powerful, free,

all-pervading and master of all :

contemplating always on those words,

one accomplishes (their) méaning because (they) follow (their) meaning."

Vijnana Bhairava 94 Realizing That There is No Mind In Me

 

Me trying to persuade Me that there is no Me

The practice of awakening to the fact that there is no mind in me, the space of awareness :

cittādyantaḥkṛtir nāsti mamāntar bhāvayed iti |

vikalpānām abhāvena vikalpair ujjhito bhavet || 94 ||

"One should realize that

'there is no inner organ in me, such as the mind, etc.'

Because thought constructs are (then) absent,

one becomes free from them."
