Vijnana Bhairava Tantra: preamble & epilogue


Both void & manifestation
Spanda: life pulse vibration
Expanding & contracting
Concealing & revealing
Stupefying & illuminating
Separating & uniting

Shiva’s self luminescence
In playful innocence
Creating a pulse of separation
Culminating in divine union

Paths four for liberation
All found in the void of cessation

Krama: the descent & rise
Resulting in joyful surprise

Or Pratyabhijna: re-cognition
Upon ego delusion dissolution

Whilst Kaula: mukti with bhukti
Embrace & release in continuity

Doing nothing Spanda: resonation
With the omnipresent ॐ vibration

Shiva appears upon the earth
Shakti accompanying as his consort
Both one as Ardhnarishwar indivisible
Render the 112 agamas plain & simple
That for those souls seeking renuion
The path be clear without confusion

This preamble given we yet need education
About the basic mind-body construction

First the purpose
Of this circus

Descending to rise to fulfil the potential
Love in love with love as the ultimate miracle
Father wishing that the son be as He
Striving to become strong and mirrorlessly see

Being absolute and illumined how may we play
Unless immersed in limitations that make us sway

Thus Shiva the magician manifests maya illusion
Layering it with five veils to keep Himself in delusion

Himself? Yes; for God alone exists and nothing else is
All that we see & know & feel is His own elixirous fizz

The first veil being limitation in time
Bound by the linear periodic chime

The second confinement within a boundary
Limitation of space being also illusionary

Third to fifth restricted will, knowledge & power
Bondage to illusion self-blocking the bliss shower

Yet what is manifested from perfection is perfection
Thus concealed in mind-body is innate self-illumination

The earth vehicle an interface ephemeral
Within which pulsates the divine eternal

As the seed of the ultimate having propensity for expansion
The lifetron searches instinctively to reclaim bliss elation

However senses five active are all externalised
Along with lower mind in doership having everything analysed

The secret being that the aspect perfect throbbing within
Is the voice of conscience steering us away from sin

The sin being nothing other than self ignorance
In opting for transience instead of our eternal presence

All the above known from different scriptures
Being in delusion we are now our shadowy caricature

Shiva in compassion then does reveal the 112 meditations
Each of which may grant us here & now instant liberation
