meditation 9

Imagine

your five senses

void

like the colorful circles

of a peacock's tail . . .

Then

you enter

the Supreme Void . . .

There is the great fulfillment.

Notes:

For Swami Lakshmanjoo's commentary on this verse, please refer to his Manual for Self Realization (John Hughes, ed.).

Swami Lakshmanjoo and Pandit Dina Nath Muju's translation of this verse reads as follows:

Verse 32

Imagine your five senses like the colorful circles in a peacock's tail. Thus you enter the Supreme void. There is the great fulfillment.

Ψ

To enable his commentary on this scripture to endure down through the ages, Swami Lakshmanjoo left it in two forms:

(i) a series of videos gracing each verse, which over a few years, John Hughes of the Lakshmanjoo Academy recorded, and

(ii) Swami Lakshmanjoo's textual embodiment of the tapes, The Manual for Self-Realization: 112 Meditations of the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra (edited by John Hughes).

Both are treasures! In each, Swamiji comments on the scripture while responding to questions from his students. Swamiji emphasizes that the video version transmits his teaching with a higher level of fidelity.
