Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 87

Meditate on the dense darkness of night


Evameva Durnishayam Krishna Pakshaagame Chiram|Taimiram Bhavayan Rupam Bhairavam Rupameshyati||


This verse tells us to do dharana or concentrate the mind on the darkness of the night's sky. It is not the darkness of a bright moonlit sky, but the dense and fearsome darkness when the moon approaches a new moon day of the waning phase. Sit alone with the sky for company and look at the terrible darkness of the sky. Meditate upon this thick black dark form of formlessness and Bhairava the aspect of truth assumes thhat very dark form right before your eyes. - SS
