Vignana Bhairava Tantra – 108



Drop the mind

Niradharam Manah Krithwa Vikalpanna Vikalpayet|
Tadatma Paramathmathve Bhairavo Mrugalochane||

When conflicting people function together, they gather a lot of strength to worsen the confusion. Here the mind, chitta, buddhi and the ahamkara. Just as the police declares a curfew and prevent people from assemblihg together in times of trouble – these four internal sense equipment should be dissociated from each other. The mind which receives inputs through the senses, gets its thoughts from the chitta – storehouse of names and forms. It constantly analyses the thoughts with the help of the Buddhi and identifies with each thought as its own through the Ahamkara.
A thought in the mind is a Sankalpa. Simultaneous to it is a Vikalpa or imagination. When the mind is made free of thoughts, it becomes supportless and only consciousness remains oh doe-eyed Parvathy, says Lord Shiva. - SS
