Divine Consciousness - Mandhata Global

Vijnanabhairava 77
NOTES
Though seated on a soft seat or bed, the aspirant should contemplate
with firm belief that his body is without the support of
any seat or bed whatsoever. In this way his mind will oecome
free of thought-constructs which act like props, and when his
mind becomes thought-free, then his habitual tendencies of
thought (viisaniis) lying in the unconscious will also vanish.
This is Siiktopiiya.

TRANSLATION
o goddess, owing to the swinging of the body of a person
seated on a moving vehicle or owing to self-caused swinging of
his body slowlY,l his mental state becomes calmed. Then he
attains divyaugha2 and enjoys the bliss of supernal consciousness.
NOTES
1. If one is seated in a cart or on horse-back, or an elephant
or in any other moving vehicle, then owing to the movement of
the vehicle, his body begins to swing to and fro, or he may himself
make his body swing. In such a condition, he experiences
a peculiar kind of joy, and his mind becomes introverted.
Owing to the introversion of the mind, he experiences great
peace which may give him a taste of divine bliss.
2 The word augha literally means flood, stream. In the
context of yoga, it means 'continuous tradition of wisdom'.
Three kinds of augha are mentioned in the tantras­
Miinavaugha siddhaugha divyaugha.
