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

On a single point

वस्त्वन्तरे विद्यमाने सर्ववस्तुषु शून्यता|

तमेव मनसा ध्यात्वा विदितोऽपि प्रशाम्यति||

Vastwantare Vidyamane Sarvavastushu Shunyata|

Tameva Manasa Dhyathwa Viditopi Prashamyati||

While meditating on one object alone, there is an absence of all other objects in the mind. This brings the mind almost to a single pointed contemplation. Meditating on that object alone, with the help of the mind, even if that is still experienced in awareness, the mind attains supreme quietness. - SS

On the dispassionate one

भवत्युद्रेखाद विरक्तस्य यादृशी जायते मतिः|

सा शक्तिः शङ्करी नित्यं भावयेत् तं ततः शिवः ||

Bhavathyudrekhad Viraktasya Yadrushi Jayate Matihi|

Sa Shaktih Shankari Nithyam Bhavayeth Tam Tatah Shivaha||

Contemplating with intensity on the one who is completely dispassionate, the intellect too takes on that quality. That energy of the one with a dispassionate intellect is that of Sankara or one who gives peace. Meditating upon that, one becomes that auspiciousness which is the state of Shiva. – SS

 Meditate on any object

क्वचिद् वस्तुनि विन्यस्य शनैर दृष्टिं निवर्तयेत् |

तज्ज्ञानं चित्त सहितं देवी शून्यालयो भवेत् ||

Kwachidvastuni Vinyasya Shanair Drishtim Nivartayeth|

Tajjnanam Chitta Sahitham Devi Shunyalayo Bhaveth||

Take a particular object, may be a stone, a divine picture or an object of nature. Gaze at that object with intense concentration. Then withdraw the gaze and close your eyes. The impression of the object you see within happens in consciousness. Knowing this to be one with consciousness, the mind at once enters into the temple of nothingness. - SS

 Go back to your remembrance

Vastushu Smaryamaneshu Drushtedeshe Manastyajeth|

Swashareeram Niradharam Krithwa Prasati Prabhuhu||

When in the seat of meditation, your remember some object, person, situatiion or place you have seen, met and experienced in the past, the mind and body consciousness immediately are dropped as the mind gets totally absorbed in that thought. In that state of deep absorbption, the Lord who is the witness of all emerges to the perceiving consciousness. - SS

Whether you sneeze or cough

Kshutadyante Bhaye Shoke Gahvareva Ranadrute|

Kutuhale Kshudhadyante Brahma Sattamayi Dasha||

Tantra leaves no activity or experience go unnoticed from turning it into a spiritual experience. Before and after a good sneeze, in great fear, in sorrow, when confused or when running away from battle, when you experience curiosity about something or  before and after hunger – the reality is present in its essential form of existence. - SS

Wherever the mind goes

Yatra Yatra Mano Yati Bahye Vabhyantarepi Va|
Tatra Tatra Shivavasthath Vyapakathwathkwa Yasyati||

Wherever the mind goes, that auspicious presence of the divine which is called by the name of Shiva is already present. The mind may wander anywhere, but nowhere can it not meet with that Shivam or consciousness which is present everywhere and in everything. Shiva does not go before the mind, but being omnipresent, there is no place where it is not. - SS.
