Vijnana Bhairava Tantra – 123


Neither clean or unclean




Kinchijjnairya smrita shuddhih sa shuddhih shambhudarshane|
nashuchihyashuchistasmat nirvikalpah sukhi bhaveth||

किन्चिज्ज्नैरयास्मृता शुद्धिः  सा शुद्धिः शंभुदर्षने|
नशुचिर्ह्यषुचिस्तस्माननिर्विकल्पः सुखी भवेत्||

The moment you get a thought of cleanliness or purity of mind, there is a counter thought called impurity or uncleanliness. In the presence of the one that radiates peace called Shambhu, there is neither purity nor impurity. Therefore remain free of any contrary thoughts – vikalpa is imagination. Nirvikalpa is being free of any imagination. In such a state of mind sans any imagination in the form of thoughts that produce counter-thoughts, you attain that state of joy which is your own true nature. – SS
