Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 62


Awareness blooms like a flower

Bhaave Tyakte Niruddha Chin Naiva Bhavantharam Vrajeth|
Tada Tan Madhya Bhavena Vikasatyati Bhavana||


Take an uplifting object for contemplation. It can be an Om, a deity or the form of the Guru. Leaving aside all other thoughts, focus on the object of concentration above. At the end of the thought too, no other thought fills its place. In between that single-pointed thought, in the empty spaces, awareness blooms like a flower.
