The following is an amazing description of the process of realizing oneness.
When the yogin begins to expand the face or sphere of consciousness, all the channels of the senses flow into the inner circle (cakra). Then the channels of the senses forcibly expand with an expansion whose nature is the absence of the variety or differences of the objects of sense. The multiplicity of objects, such as blue, yellow, the relationship of subject and object, and so forth, begin at once to disappear because they are in a state of expectancy facing towards consciousness.
At that very moment, by means of the mudra which bestows direct experience and which he obtained from the tradition that stems from the very mouth of the yogini, he seals the All. The yogin directly relaxes into the direct experience of Bhairava in the form of consciousness, the ruler of All. That yogin, filled with wonder attains knowledge of his own Self.
The water-tank is empty even if it is joined with a quantity of water swelling up with various objects. The water which is found in the tank cannot pour forth from there elsewhere. It is incompetent to fill the tank even with continued exertion. But when, because of the liquid that results from the shower of rain which falls into the essence of the door of the inner portion, the tank is filled quite full, then the streams of water flow fully in all directions. Thus, because of the violent force of its own light, consciousness begins to manifest itself.
If even for an instant the sense objects would all together turn to repose in consciousness, which illuminates all things as being non-different from itself, then maya disappears and the plane of Bhairava shines forth brilliantly.
