Conclusion
INTRODUCTION

The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is a sacred text that is part of the ancient
Indian spiritual and philosophical tradition. It is a dialogue between
Lord Shiva and the goddess Parvati, where Shiva imparts 112
meditation techniques to Parvati. These techniques are designed to
help practitioners attain a state of self-realization and oneness with
the divine.

Scientific Perspective

Neuroscience and Meditation: Many of the meditation techniques


described in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra involve focusing the mind,
breath control, and awareness of bodily sensations. From a scientific
standpoint, these practices can be related to the field of
neuroscience. Studies have shown that regular meditation can lead
to changes in brain structure and function, promoting mental well-
being and cognitive abilities.

Psychology and Self-Realization: The practices in the Vigyan Bhairav


Tantra also touch upon various aspects of psychology. The emphasis
on self-awareness, observation of thoughts, and dissolution of the
ego aligns with psychological concepts of self-realization and
personal development.

Physiology of Breath Control: Several techniques involve breath


control, which has physiological effects on the body. Deep breathing,
as advocated in many meditation practices, can induce relaxation
responses, reduce stress hormones, and enhance overall well-being.

Quantum Physics and Unity: The concept of oneness and unity with
the divine in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra resonates with certain ideas
in quantum physics. The interconnectedness of all things at a
fundamental level, as suggested by quantum entanglement, shares a
conceptual similarity with the spiritual idea of unity.

Spiritual Perspective (Kashmir Shaivism):

Shiva Consciousness: Kashmir Shaivism, the philosophical foundation


of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, posits the idea of Shiva as the ultimate
reality or consciousness. Shiva represents the transcendent,
formless, and unchanging aspect of reality.

Shakti and Manifestation: Alongside Shiva is Shakti, the dynamic and


creative force. The interplay of Shiva and Shakti is central to Kashmir
Shaivism. Shakti is the power that manifests the universe, and the
dance between Shiva and Shakti symbolizes the play of
consciousness in the world.

Spanda (Vibration): Kashmir Shaivism emphasizes the concept of


spanda, the pulsation or vibration of consciousness. Everything in the
universe, including thoughts and emotions, is considered a
manifestation of this fundamental vibration.

Trika Philosophy: Kashmir Shaivism is often associated with the Trika


philosophy, which includes the concepts of Shiva, Shakti, and Anu
(individual soul). The journey of the individual soul involves
recognizing its true nature (Shiva) through the understanding of the
dynamic and creative aspects (Shakti).
In summary, the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra and Kashmir Shaivism offer a blend of
practical meditation techniques and profound spiritual philosophy. From a
scientific perspective, the practices align with principles of neuroscience and
psychology, while the spiritual perspective emphasizes the ultimate reality of
consciousness and the dynamic interplay of cosmic forces. The integration of
these perspectives can provide a holistic understanding of the profound
teachings within these ancient texts.
I. The Ultimate Truth of “You”

In this bright place where you live, you're always awake and aware,
while in the dark place, everything is asleep and doesn't see the one
but sees many things. As you, the Great Life, play with darkness and
light, you make yourself appear as many things by hiding your bright
light. Through this play, everything is created, and all these created
things are like tiny parts of your divine brightness.

Each thing has a special part inside, a hidden essence connected to


the eternal and divine, called the Self or Atman. This special part is
the true essence of life, beyond the physical body, always pure and
everlasting. It exists everywhere, unseen but knowing everything.
This inner part is like the true self of the universe, the Lord of Life,
present in everything and witnessing everything from within.

So, even when you, the Great Life, make yourself look like many
things, there's always an unseen core, an essence that is part of your
eternal self. This imperishable core, the Atman or Self, is the Lord of
Life, the true man concealed within the body. It's absolute, pure,
peaceful, subtle, and eternal, existing beyond the darkness of
ignorance and beyond knowledge expressed in words.

This Self is like the inner being, the soul of the universe, the life-
principle, the Lord of Time, the Great Lord, the Perfect One. Though
unseen and unknown, it knows, for it is present everywhere and
witnesses all things from within. It is the eternal witness of all, the
Inner Being that holds the key to the true nature and life of
everything.

The universe is born from the Self, and in the Self alone, it dissolves.
The Self possesses a magical power to take various forms while
remaining unaffected and unchanged. It is not subject to the cycle of
birth and death, and it is not the physical world or any of its
elements. The Self is beyond the senses, the body, breath, mind, and
even the concept of individual identity.

The Self is not confined to sense organs or body parts; it is neither


inanimate matter nor a living person. While the transient aspects of
the world pass away like waves upon the sea, the Self is the
imperishable, changeless, undying sea of consciousness itself—a
witness to all that passes.

The world, with its five senses, is distinct from the Supreme Self,
much like light differs from darkness. The awakened ones perceive
the Perfect Self as eternally blissful and unchanging, free from
defects or the influence of opposites. Thoughts created by the mind
of unaware individuals are superimposed upon the Perfect Self,
leading them to identify with imperfections.

Man, determined by his mind (Manas), becomes what he thinks.


Under the influence of material existence, the Self, originally divine,
thinks of itself as a human. However, elevating oneself through noble
thoughts leads to a reunion with the All-Source, understanding that
all things come from it and return to it—a manifestation of the
eternal law.

Those who know the truth declare that the Self is the all-witness
beyond the sphere of matter, the universal enjoyer, deathless,
omnipresent, perfect, and ever-free. Embodied beings remain
subject to worldly existence due to ignorance and the confusion of
reality with matter caused by wrong knowledge.

An unawaken mind perceives itself as limited and individual despite


the vast and all-pervading nature of the ever-shining, self-luminous
Self. Due to thoughtlessness, man lives a diminutive life.
Sages realize that the Self is uncreated, formless, changeless, eternal,
and pure, while matter is created, many-formed, transient, and
tainted. The ignorant, immersed in worldly existence, confuses the
Self with matter, attributing qualities of matter to the pure and
perfect Self.

Deceived by the deluded mind, the ignorant fails to comprehend the


imperishable and perfect nature of the Self, confusing the Self with
the not-Self and not discerning what is real from what is a dream.
Lack of awareness leads to self-forgetfulness, wrong knowledge, and
the emergence of defects like greed, lust, envy, and hatred.

From lack of awareness arises self-forgetfulness, leading to wrong


knowledge, which results in defects of the mind. The performance of
actions based on wrong knowledge is considered the greatest defect.
Different physical bodies and minds are a result of one's past
tendencies, and the mind is shaped by the light of the soul tinted
with these tendencies.

In the Three Worlds, whether in this world or the next, everything


has a meaning and reason. The wise ones who dwell in unity with the
wise creator understand this, while others, immersed in vain
thoughts, may not perceive the truth even if shown.

Those seeking knowledge of the truth are encouraged to listen to the


word of truth, as only by understanding the truth can their souls find
peace. Truth is the remedy for sorrows, freeing the soul from the
burdens of the world. By hearing the truth, bound souls remember
their true self, realizing that the self, being omnipresent, lies within
oneself and pervades everywhere without, eternally free and ever-
stainless.
Although the Divine Self is One, it appears as Many through its
magical power, not due to its inherent nature. Wise individuals, the
Knowers of Truth, testify that the Truth is One (Satyam Ekam).

Similar to how the sky remains unstained by clouds and the sun
untouched by darkness, the various activities of the mind—thoughts,
feelings, or sense perceptions—do not affect the Perfect Self. Only
the imperfect nature of the mind and body makes them susceptible.

Just as a pure crystal shines by its own luster, the Self shines
independently of any conditioning cause. The Universe, according to
wise men, is made of knowledge, arising from the waves of thought
on the surface of the Ocean of Universal Consciousness.

Men of Higher Vision understand the World is made of Knowledge,


while those with limited sight see it as mere physical matter. The
Self, by nature changeless consciousness, is mistakenly considered
insentient matter by those with wrong knowledge.

The Great Being is perceived in the form of objects but remains


distinct and unaffected. The World is seen as the manifestation of
the Great Consciousness, and this truth is the Good Tidings shared
with the World.

To the thinking person, ask: Do you believe in Love, Beauty, and Joy?
Do you believe in Truth, Justice, and Goodness? If so, then you
believe in Cosmic Intelligence, for Cosmic Intelligence is Truth,
Goodness, and Beauty. It is the force that drives humanity to seek
and empowers individuals to appreciate and enjoy these things.
Open your eyes and see the harmony and order from the smallest
atom to the vast universe. Could all this be without a Wise Creator,
or Cosmic Intelligence?
Furthermore, ponder on how a newborn knows how to suckle, or
how a weaver-bird learns to build nests. Consider who teaches a
duckling to swim or a diver to search for fish. Observe the
coordinated movements of ants, birds, and fish. All this points to the
Power of the Cosmic Intelligence, the Intelligence in all things upon
which all things depend. There is a clear sign in all these phenomena.

If you cannot see, then believe. Faith is the guide for those who
cannot see. Let faith be your light, and believing, you shall be guided
and not go astray. There is time both before and behind the present
moment, and life is never-ending. The Great Life, the Great Cosmic
Intelligence, is the source of all life. This Revelation brings His Truth
for those who believe, and they shall have nothing to fear in this life
or the next.

To the believer, say: All life comes from the Great Life, or Cosmic
Intelligence. You, a living Soul, are but a Spark from that Great Light.
Look into your heart, and you shall find all that you seek. The Soul, in
the silence of your heart, whispers Wisdom and Truth, while the
mind confounds with imaginations, delusions, and doubts.

Speak the plain truth to all who wish to know, and let unbelievers go
their own way. Those seeking perfection shall worship, meditate
upon, and hear about the Self as Ever-Existing, Stainless, Unchanged,
All-Pervading, Perfect, and Free.

The Light of Consciousness, the Great Unseen, is the constant among


the inconstant, the intelligence among intelligences. By knowing this,
Yogis attain Eternal Peace. Through Yoga, when a person perceives
nothing but Consciousness everywhere, they become a Perfect
Knower of the Self. They realize the Supreme when they see all living
beings abiding in the Self and the Self in all living beings.
Having realized the Highest, the Soul abides in the state of Unified
Consciousness (Samadhi), perceiving not the multitude of living
beings but only the One. In this state, the Soul becomes One with the
Supreme Self, attaining the state of Absolute Being.

Once the Soul perceives the Truth, all passions that cling to the heart
drop off, and, having become pure, attains Perfection. Acquiring a
living body of light, the Soul becomes immortal in this very life.
Realizing the diversity of living things as existing in the One and born
of that One leads to the attainment of the Highest.

When the Soul experiences the Absolute Self as a reality and sees the
entire Universe as immaterial, like an illusion, it reaches the state of
Highest Bliss (Paramananda). Attaining Perfect Knowledge of the
Supreme Being, the sole remedy for the sorrows of birth, old age,
and ailments, the Soul becomes one with the Ultimate Cosmic
Intelligence, the Ultimate of those who are Perfect.

Just as rivers merge with the Ocean, the Soul becomes one with the
Deathless and Unblemished Reality. Human and Divine Souls are
indistinguishably united, like sweet juices mingled into honey or
clouds, water, and flames joining together.

In the Three Worlds, there exists nothing but Cosmic Consciousness,


Soul, and Mind. When the Mind is stilled, only Soul and Cosmic
Consciousness remain. When the Soul is no longer distracted by the
Mind, it sees Cosmic Consciousness face to face and is lost in His
Infinite Embrace.

Knowledge of the Supreme alone exists; neither the World nor


its existence is real in comparison. Perfect Knowledge lies
shrouded in ignorance for those who lack the insight of Yoga,
Meditation and Spirituality. Ignorance, which is imperfect,
defective, and false knowledge, leads them astray.
Perfect Knowledge is without defect, subtle, free from doubts, and
ever-changeless. The realization of this is called Perfect Knowledge
(Vijnana). This Teaching of the Insight into Reality is the essence of all
spiritual teachings, and the practice of Yoga is the single-minded
concentration upon this Knowledge.

Knowledge is born of Yoga, and Yoga is established by means of


Knowledge. One who is endowed with both Yoga and Knowledge can
accomplish anything. What is attained through Yoga is also attained
through Spiritual Knowledge. Therefore, seeing Spiritual Knowledge
and Yoga as one, one perceives things as they really are.

People often get caught up in wanting power and doing various


things to achieve it. But when life ends, those who understand
spiritual wisdom and practice yoga reach a pure heavenly state that
everyone respects.

The Ultimate Self is that Supreme intelligence, whose power can be


reached through yoga. The Ultimate Self is the unseen force behind
the cosmic magic, the Greatest Cosmic Intelligence. The Ultimate Self
is praised in scriptures as the essence of everything, watching from
above.

The Ultimate Self contains all shapes, tastes, scents, and sounds. The
Ultimate Self is beyond aging and death, present everywhere. The
Ultimate Self has hands and feet everywhere, can reach where birds
can't fly, and resides in all things. The Ultimate Self sees without
eyes, hears without ears, and knows all secrets from within. Yet,
despite all this, few truly know the Ultimate Self. Only those with
deep insight see the real Ultimate Self—the Formless One.

Now, for those who wonder, "How can an unseen and formless being
rule the world?" Here's the truth: The Ultimate Self governs through
cosmic intelligence, the eternal law that supports the world. Cosmic
intelligence is the supreme divine power, the source of all other laws
and powers.

This divine power, called Yoga Bala, holds the universe together and
is the unseen force behind the rule of the Ultimate Self. Like the wind
moving trees on Earth, the Ultimate Self, the Unseen field of energy,
governs the world from the secret abode. The Ultimate Self controls
everything beyond the sphere of cosmic magic that makes the
Ultimate Self invisible, like a cloud covering the sun.

Through this advanced knowledge, devoted yogis enter the inner,


omnipresent heart of the Ultimate Self, becoming united in perfect
harmony. They go beyond the cosmic magic, achieving Nirvana—the
end of desires and sorrows—and join the Ultimate Self in eternal
bliss.

To those who shine bright like stars! I declare that those who follow
the teachings of the Ultimate Self are on the right path. Those who
don't will wander forever in the darkness of illusion. The Ultimate
Self, the enlightener of the three worlds, has revealed the hidden
truth.

Teach this special wisdom to those who truly understand it. Share it
with your children, disciples, and those who believe in the unseen
forces. People with limited understanding will grasp it when the time
is right for them.

The truth about the Ultimate Self is too complex for our minds to
fully grasp. Only a pure heart, deeply contemplating, can understand
it. Don't ignore this revelation; it's the light guiding you toward
perfection. Follow what you comprehend, and let the profound
mysteries be explored by the wise among you. Just like a child starts
with milk and later embraces solid food, even the slowest minds will
eventually grasp the highest truth.

The wisdom of yoga and insight into reality, meant for achieving
perfection, has been shared by me. It's like a powerful string of truth
beads that guides great sages to the dwelling of the Ultimate Self,
the eternal light.

Time, matter, and soul, all sprouted from the Supreme. Essentially,
everything in the world originates from these three, making the
world pretty much the same as the Supreme.

This Supreme Reality has spread everywhere at once. It possesses all


the senses but lacks sensory organs, governing and supporting
everything. It's a perpetual state of bliss, completely free from
duality.

Unrivaled, impossible to comprehend fully, beyond ordinary


understanding, devoid of alternatives, free from appearances, the
ultimate home for everything, deathless, connected with the
universe yet on a higher plane. It stays eternally consistent, without
any material attributes, the brightest light, and a form of perfect
knowledge that the wise folks appreciate.

It's the core of all living things, both within and beyond, surpassing
all. I am that core, the omnipresent, calm, mighty ruler, and the very
essence of consciousness.

The whole universe, including everything that moves and stays still,
exists within the Ultimate Self. Understanding this makes one truly
knowledgeable about spiritual teachings. In the eternal reality, Truth
is one, but it manifests in different forms: Spirit (like Fire), Energy
(like the Sun), and Matter (like the Moon). The Spirit is intelligent and
illuminating, representing the Ultimate Self. Energy creates worlds,
with bright and dark aspects influencing actions. This energy
solidifies into Matter, forming the material world, resembling the
Moon. Cosmic Intelligence, uplifting the soul to the light, is called
Shakti; when pulling the soul into the material world, it's Maya.
Everything the soul perceives is a manifestation of Cosmic
Intelligence. The universe comprises Matter and Spirit, with Time
being their essence. The Ultimate Self is both identical to and distinct
from these, eternally within itself. The material universe, born from
Material Energy, shapes life experiences. Although the soul is one, it
appears as many due to Cosmic Intelligence's enchantment. Wise
ones, free from this enchantment, realize the soul as their true self.

The Soul is like a radiant witness, perceiving its material aspect in the
mirror of consciousness, similar to the Sun reflecting in the Sea. This
reflection is Material Energy or Matter, giving rise to various
elements like Intellect, Ego, Lower Mind, Five Senses, and their
objects. The Will of the Self stirs the tranquil Sea of Matter, creating
waves of thought, feeling, and perception, birthing the World. The
first emanation is Intellect, leading to the birth of Ego, shaping one's
experiences and reactions. The Lower Mind, based on sense
perceptions, plays a role in this process. The Ego identifies with
worldly things, giving rise to self-consciousness. This identification
leads to the cycle of birth and death known as Samsara. Time,
eternal and beyond control, influences the birth and destruction of
beings in the Material World. Realizing the power of Unending Time
brings liberation from limited existence. Those bound by finite time
remain entangled in limited life, identifying themselves with material
constituents.

Understand that the Universe operates as a well-ordered unity,


where rocks, plants, fish, birds, and beasts coexist harmoniously,
abiding by the World-Supporting Law. However, ignorant individuals
deviate from cosmic knowledge, seeking to be what they are not and
engaging in wrongful actions. This flawed Ego disrupts the sacred
unity, leading them to the Abode of Discord, where sin becomes
their god and sorrow their fate. The wise recognize the Ego as
humanity's greatest adversary. Associated with the Ego, the Pure
Spirit forgets its true identity, perceiving itself as dull and dependent
on outer light. Only through Yoga, which imparts self-knowledge, can
one realize the eternal nature of the Soul amidst the ever-changing
waves of matter. Recognize that the Self is the enduring reality, while
matter gives rise to thoughts, feelings, and perceptions like waves in
an ocean. The Yogi, knowing the Self, attains unity with the Only
Existing, Perfect, Ever-Living One through this understanding.

Yoga, the Power of Unity, establishes Wholeness, Harmony, and


Happiness in the World through three kinds of Unity: Human,
Worldwide, and Divine. Human Unity involves the harmonious
connection between Body, Mind, and Soul. Worldwide Unity extends
to the unity between people, nations, and nature. The highest form
is Divine Unity between Man and the Supreme. The remedy for
ignorance, disunity, disease, and suffering lies in the Perfect
Knowledge of Yoga, leading to Spiritual Illumination and life in unity
with the Divine. Those with Spiritual Knowledge recognize that the
Sense Organs surpass the objects they perceive. The wise understand
the hierarchy, where the Lower Mind is greater than the Sense
Organs, the Thought of I and Mine is greater than the Lower Mind,
the Intellect is greater than the Ego, Unmanifest Matter surpasses
the Intellect, and the Soul Proper is greater than Matter. Maya, the
Lord's Wondrous Power, envelops the Material Universe, holding
embodied Souls under its magical spell, keeping them in their current
state.
Beyond Maya is the radiant Sphere of Shakti (Energy), Shiva's
(Cosmic Consciousness) Infinite Power, where Liberated Souls reside.
These Divine Souls, having gained Shiva's Three Powers—Action,
Knowledge, and Will—ascend the Threefold Stairway to Supreme
Perfection. Each step leads to a Higher World, culminating in the
Highest Heaven. In Shiva's World of Spirit (Shivalaya), dwell those
who acquire the last Two Powers—Divine Intelligence and Bliss—
becoming forever One with Him. Above this Spiritual World, the
Supreme Lord, the Essence of all Knowledge, presides. In the end,
when Kalagni Rudra, the All-Consuming Fiery God of Consciousness,
dissolves all Worlds and merges Souls into the Supreme Self, the
Infinite Abode of Spirit prevails. The Cosmic Consciousness, Master
of Maya (illusion), and identical with it, is One with the Power of
Time, creating and controlling all Worlds. The Cosmic
Consciousness’s Infinite Self creates, sustains, and annihilates all
things, for the Supreme Alone Exists. Time, as the measuring tool of
the Unmeasured Glory, gives rise to the smallest measure of Time,
known to the Supreme and the Awakened Ones. To the unawakened,
Time on Earth is reckoned by observing moving celestial bodies, as
movement is Time—a form of knowledge perceived through changes
in a knower's field.

The primary observable movement is that of the Vital Breath (Prana).


The Ultimate Self, the Life and Soul of the Universe, descends from
the Highest State and enters an embodied Soul, animating it through
the Vital Breath. The Great Wheel of Time (Kala-Chakra) comes into
being through the power of breath. Man's life, dependent on breath,
is marked by in-breath, out-breath, and the holding of breath.
Remembering in-breath reveals the Past, resting before out-breath
signifies the Present, and contemplating the next out-breath unveils
the Future.
Days, Months, Years, and Cosmic Cycles arise from breath, and
without breath, there is no Time. The Ultimate, the Great Life,
breathes through all created things, creating and beholding all forms
of Time. Those who attain Unity with the Lord of Time through Yoga
go to the Supreme Abode of Shiva, where true Life is found in Unity,
and Death and Suffering belong to the Abode of Separation. The
Great Unmanifest Void is the Secret Place from which all things are
born and to which they return. The Two Breaths represent creation
and dissolution, revealing the oneness of the individual and the Lord.
The Supreme Spiritual Teacher declares this Eternal Truth for all to
hear.

Ultimate Self is realized through devoted practice, not mere rituals or


charity. It resides within all beings as the Cosmic Witness. Ultimate
Self, the Creator, Lord of Time, and Fiery God, exists both in the
Universe and every heart. Yogis, through meditation, grasp Ultimate
Self's luminous presence. It receives offerings and rewards devotion.
Pious individuals, knowledgeable and devoted, sense Ultimate Self's
proximity. Following the path of Ultimate Self, even those with a
history of wrongdoing find liberation. Ultimate Self, the eternal
teacher, protects the virtuous and upholds divine law. It is the
originator, sustainer, and restrainer of all powers. Higher knowledge
unravels Maya for Yogis. Ultimate Self governs the universe and
manifests as Brahma in the function of creation.

The ultimate self observes the Universe as its own manifestation,


engaging in the continuous cycles of creation, maintenance, and
dissolution. As the Master of Yogis, the ultimate self is the guiding
force behind the yogic path, where those who recognize the ultimate
self as the Overlord of all Yoga Masters find union through the
profound practice of Yoga. Manifesting as the Highest Truth, the
ultimate self, from which all Souls originate, draws them back to
itself, the culmination dependent on the ultimate self's Will. The
yogic journey serves as the path leading towards reunion with the
ultimate self, serving as both the guiding light and ultimate goal. The
Light of Truth, received externally as Revelation and internally as
Inward Illumination, paves the way to Salvation. Adhering to the
ultimate self's Path of Light enables the seeker to transcend
obscurities, attaining Salvation in the present life. This profound
knowledge, encapsulated in True Scriptures, is meant to be shared
with those possessing a pure mind, virtuous character, and a
reverence for the sacred flame.

In the domain of cosmic intelligence, a resonating voice proclaimed


itself as the Essence of all essences, the cosmic wisdom. It asserted
its presence within the heart of every being, encompassing all
existence within its vast cosmic intelligence.

Identifying as the manifestation of cosmic intelligence, it epitomized


a harmonious equilibrium, the origin of all celestial movements. It
likened its nature to the harmonious interplay of cosmic elements,
seamlessly balancing motion and stillness. It expressed itself through
the radiant forms of deities and myriad living entities, while
simultaneously resting in its infinite, singular essence. Acquiring
knowledge of this truth was considered the pursuit of the highest
cosmic wisdom, with the path illuminated by the practice of cosmic
intelligence.

Observers, tuned into cosmic intelligence, witnessed this cosmic


dance, observing Consciousness gracefully swaying and whirling in
the cosmic firmament like a radiant wheel of cosmic fire. They
perceived the cosmic dancer, whose sublime presence dispelled
fears and illusions. Shiva, the embodiment of cosmic intelligence,
radiated divine brilliance to those who had attained mastery over
cosmic rhythms, controlled breath, and approached with serene
cosmic devotion.

In the cosmic expanse, these cosmic observers beheld the liberator,


a benevolent cosmic entity instantly freeing devotees from cosmic
ignorance. The cosmic drama unfolded, orchestrated by the
Sovereign Consciousness, the cosmic architect of the universe,
leaving an enduring imprint on the understanding of those attuned
to the cosmic intelligence.

Hereafter the word “Self” is representing your ultimate awareness,


which is without identity, without ego and without boundaries. It’s
the eternal and pure awareness.

The Ultimate, the Universal Energy, are the subtle essence pervading
all existence, smaller than an atom yet greater than the greatest. In
wisdom, it's acknowledged that Self alone truly exist.

Through Self Divine Powers – Creation, Maintenance, Dissolution,


Obscuration, and Liberation – the Universe unfolds like a cosmic
dance. Unity holds everything together, and Self is the unchanging
center.

Scriptures originate in self, the Cause of all, guiding the Cosmic


Drama from within our hearts. All unfolds according to self’s
Supreme Command as the Original Soul.

The Master of Cosmic Magic, the Cosmic Intelligence, we seek refuge


in self, the very Soul of Yoga and Universal Unity, the Dancer of the
Divine Dance.

Witnessing Cosmic Dance, we remember ultimate Glory eternally.


Self, dwelling in all, remain Ever-Still amid the dance of existence.
OM, the Seed of Liberation, symbolizes self, imperishable yet
concealed in Primordial Nature. Wise ones affirm Ultimate as the
Self-Luminous Truth.

Holy Scriptures sing Cosmic praises, and sages bow before Self.
Ascetics, immersed in the Supreme, merge into self, the Most
Excellent One.

Beginningless, with a Form as vast as the Universe, self bring creation


to an end. The Highest Creator and Preserver, those in Self
experience the bliss of their Inner Self.

As the All-Consuming Fiery God, Ultimate create and protect the


Universe. All worlds turn to the Ultimate as their Ultimate Goal. True
Knowledge aligns the mind, and we seek refuge in self alone.

Spiritual Knowledge, like the Tree of Heaven, reveals in self alone.


Through Self’s Supreme Knowledge, seekers cross the ocean of
Cosmic Illusion, finding refuge in this lifetime.

Self is the Wise One praised in holy books. People see Self as the
Eternal Force, the Creator of life, and the Sun God in different forms.
Everyone knows Self as the Protector of Life that never changes and
is always good.

Smart folks think of you as the Original Soul, shining like the Midnight
Sun beyond what we don't understand. You are Consciousness Itself,
going beyond worldly things.

Self’s presence is beyond words and thoughts, like a special and


unchanging part of a big dream.

Unawakened souls are dreaming, unaware of our true nature.


Ordinary folks identify with the sleeping soul, but the wise, like yogis,
remain vigilant even in apparent slumber. Through divine
knowledge, they rise to the supreme truth. The analogy compares
the sleeping soul to the moon and the waking soul to the sun. The
fire of knowledge dissolves distinctions, revealing their oneness. True
wisdom is a guiding light, distinguishing the awakened ones from
those lost in the sleep of ignorance.

This supreme knowledge of Yoga, Meditation and Spirituality


liberates beings from the bondage of limited life (samsara) and
unites them with the Ultimate, the great Cosmic Intelligence. Yoga
and unity are synonymous, offering a profound path to transcend the
cycles of existence.

Now we will discuss techniques of meditations given in Viggyan


Bhairav Tantra. Here Viggyan Bhairav Tantra is presented chapter
wise and explained under the sections of spirituality, neuroscience,
psychology, quantum physics and in manifestations. We will touch all
the aspects of Viggyan Bhairav Tantra techniques.
II
112 Techniques of Meditation from Viggyan Bhairav Tantra

1. The Supreme Energy and Fulfillment:

When you breathe out, feel the energy going up; when you breathe
in, feel it going down. Focus on where the breath begins. Doing this
brings a sense of fulfillment.

2. Concentrating on Breath Flow:

Pay attention to where your breath starts inside and where it goes
outside. Also, notice where it starts outside and goes inside. Through
this practice, you connect with the essential form of God.

3. Centering Breath and Energy:

Focus on the point where breath doesn't go in or out. This still point
makes thoughts vanish. You'll see the form of Energy, and through it,
the form of God becomes visible.

4. Retaining Breath for Peace:

After inhaling or exhaling, hold your breath. This leads to a state of


peace, and eventually, true Peace is revealed through the Energy.

5. Meditation on Rising Energy:

Imagine a bright ray of light rising from the base of your spine. It
gets subtler until it dissolves at the top. This leads to the appearance
of God.
6. Energy as Lightning:

Picture the energy rising like lightning through each energy center of
spine. Eventually, you'll feel a profound Love emerging.

7. Meditation on Sanskrit Letters:

Focus on each of the twelve Sanskrit letters, first in a basic way, then
in a subtler form, and finally in a supreme form. Eventually, let go of
these forms and connect with the divine essence (Shiva).

8. Concentrating on the Divine Point:

Concentrate without thoughts on a point between and above your


eyebrows. Divine Energy will rise and fill you with ecstasy when it
reaches the crown of your head.
9. Meditating on Void:

Imagine the five voids as circles on a peacock's tail. As these circles


dissolve, you'll enter the Supreme Void within.

10. Absorption into the Supreme Reality:

Gradually focus your attention on anything—space, a wall, or a great


person. By doing this, you become completely absorbed into the
Supreme Reality.

11. Inner Concentration for Perceiving Reality:

Close your eyes and concentrate inside your skull. With firm
concentration, you'll gradually perceive the Supreme Reality.

12. Meditation on the Central Channel: Picture


the central channel in your spine like a lotus
thread. Meditate on the space within it. The
Goddess will reveal God through this practice.
13. Light Between the Eyebrows:

Concentrate on the point between


your eyebrows. You'll see a light.
Close the seven openings of the
senses in your head with your
fingers. The light will dissolve, and

Viggyan Bhairava Tantra in chapters with Scientefic Prespectives

Chapter 1: Centering Awareness


In this chapter, Lord Shiva begins the dialogue with Goddess Parvati
by describing the essence of the teachings. The focus of this chapter
is on centering awareness and transcending the limitations of the
mind. The techniques provided guide practitioners to go beyond
ordinary perception and tap into the infinite consciousness that
underlies all of existence.

Some of the techniques from Chapter 1 include:

Witnessing the Breath: Practitioners are instructed to observe the


natural breath without trying to control it. By becoming a witness to
the breath, one can start to disengage from the constant chatter of
the mind and enter a state of deep awareness.

Concentration on Inner Light: This technique involves closing the


eyes and focusing on the inner light (rising in the spine from root
towards the top of head) that exists within. The goal is to shift
attention from external stimuli to the internal realm, recognizing the
inner luminosity that is beyond ordinary sensory experiences.

Contemplating the Universal Consciousness: Here, individuals are


encouraged to contemplate the nature of universal consciousness.
By recognizing the interconnectedness of all things and
contemplating the vastness of existence, practitioners can expand
their awareness beyond the limited egoic self.

Awareness in Inactivity: This technique involves being aware of the


stillness and inactivity that exist between two thoughts or actions. By
bringing attention to the gaps between mental activities, individuals
can access a state of pure consciousness that transcends mental
fluctuations.

These techniques serve as a foundation for the subsequent chapters,


each of which explores different aspects of meditation and
consciousness. Chapter 1 sets the tone for the entire Vigyan Bhairav
Tantra by emphasizing the importance of centering awareness,
witnessing the mind, and recognizing the divine essence within. The
teachings are designed to guide practitioners on a transformative
journey toward self-realization and spiritual awakening.

beyond the surface of the breath and connect with the life force that
animates the body. It serves as a reminder of the presence of the
divine within and the interconnectedness of all life.

Contemplating Universal Consciousness: The practice of


contemplating the universal consciousness invites individuals to
recognize the oneness that pervades the entire cosmos. It aligns with
spiritual principles of non-duality and interconnectedness.

Awareness in Inactivity: By becoming aware of the stillness between


thoughts or actions, practitioners are guided to touch the essence of
pure consciousness that transcends the constant movement of the
mind.

2. Neuroscience:

From a neuroscience perspective, the practices in Chapter 1 align


with concepts related to attention, mindfulness, and the brain's
ability to change through focused awareness.

activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation
and a sense of calm.

Contemplating Universal Consciousness: Contemplative practices


have been associated with changes in brain function, including
increased connectivity in regions related to self-awareness and
empathy.

Awareness in Inactivity: Mindfulness practices that involve


observing gaps in mental activity have been linked to changes in the
brain's default mode network, associated with self-referential
thinking.

3. Psychological Perspective:

The practices in Chapter 1 have psychological implications related to


self-awareness, ego dissolution, and the exploration of
consciousness:

Witnessing the Breath: Observing the breath can serve as a


mindfulness anchor, allowing individuals to detach from habitual
thought patterns and observe the mind without identification.

Contemplating Universal Consciousness: The contemplation of


universal consciousness aligns with psychological concepts of
expanding one's perspective beyond the individual ego and
recognizing interconnectedness.

Awareness in Inactivity: Focusing on the stillness between thoughts


promotes a form of mindfulness that can lead to a quieter mind and
enhanced emotional regulation.

thoughts corresponds to the quantum idea of a fundamental ground
state of existence underlying the apparent fluctuations.

5. Manifesting Desires:

Witnessing the Breath: Developing mindfulness through breath


awareness creates a focused and centered state that can be
conducive to conscious manifestation.

Contemplating Universal Consciousness: Recognizing the oneness of


all existence may foster a mindset that aligns more harmoniously
with the process of manifesting desires.

tapestry of practices that resonate across spiritual, scientific, and
psychological frameworks, offering individuals a holistic approach to
self-discovery and transformation.
Chapter 2: Dharana (Concentration) Techniques

Chapter 2 of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra delves into various


techniques of concentration or dharana. Concentration is considered
a crucial aspect of meditation as it helps to still the mind and direct
attention to a single point. By mastering concentration, practitioners
can deepen their meditation and access higher states of
consciousness. Here are some techniques from Chapter 2

Concentration on Chakras: This technique involves focusing on the


energy centers or chakras in the body. By directing attention to
specific points along the spinal column, practitioners can activate
and harmonize the flow of energy, facilitating a state of balance and
heightened awareness.
Merging the Breath with Cosmic Breath: In this practice, individuals
are guided to perceive the breath as not only a physical process but
as a connection to the cosmic breath or universal life force. By
merging one's breath with the cosmic breath, a sense of oneness
with the entire universe can be cultivated.

Gazing at a Still Point: Practitioners are instructed to gaze at a single


point, either externally or internally. This technique helps to cultivate
single-pointed focus, leading to a quieting of the mind and an
expansion of awareness beyond the point of focus.

Concentration on the Inner Sound: This technique involves directing


attention to the inner sound or "nada." The idea is to listen inwardly
to the subtle sounds that arise within the mind, transcending
external auditory stimuli. This practice is believed to lead to a
deepening of concentration and inner stillness.

Chapter 2 builds upon the foundation laid in Chapter 1 by


introducing practices that harness the power of concentration. The
goal is to move beyond the distractions of the external world and the
fluctuations of the mind, ultimately leading to a profound inner
stillness and heightened awareness. Each technique is a pathway for
the practitioner to explore and experience the transformative
potential of focused concentration on the spiritual journey.

Let’s explore Chapter 2 in different perspectives:

1. Spiritual Perspective:

Chapter 2 introduces concentration techniques, emphasizing the


power of focused attention to deepen meditation. From a spiritual
standpoint:

the connection between individual life force (breath) and the cosmic
energy, highlighting the unity between the microcosm and the
macrocosm.

Gazing at a Still Point: Concentrating on a still point, whether


internal or external, reflects the spiritual goal of finding stability and
tranquility within the fluctuations of the mind.

2. Neuroscience:

From a neuroscience perspective, concentration practices have


implications for attentional control and neural plasticity:

Concentration on Chakras: Focusing attention on specific areas of


the body may enhance neural connections and activate brain regions
associated with concentration and self-awareness.

and cosmic breath may induce a state of focused attention,
potentially impacting neural circuits related to breath regulation and
attention.

Gazing at a Still Point: Concentrating on a still point can engage the


brain's visual processing areas and contribute to heightened
attention and awareness.
3. Psychological Perspective:

The techniques in Chapter 2 involve honing concentration skills,


which have psychological implications:

Concentration on Chakras: The focused attention on chakras can be


seen as a form of mindfulness, promoting self-awareness and
emotional regulation.

Merging the Breath with Cosmic Breath: Integrating the breath with
cosmic energy may contribute to a sense of interconnectedness,
fostering positive psychological states.

Gazing at a Still Point: Concentrating on a still point cultivates a


centered and calm mental state, potentially reducing stress and

concentration techniques that bridge spiritual and scientific
perspectives, offering individuals a pathway to enhance self-
awareness, focus, and connection with the broader dimensions of
consciousness.
Chapter 3: Awareness of the Body and Beyond

Chapter 3 explores techniques that involve heightened awareness of


the body and the expansion of consciousness beyond physical
boundaries. The practices in this chapter aim to dissolve the illusion
of a separate self and cultivate a holistic awareness that transcends
individual limitations. Here are some techniques from Chapter 3:

Merging Inner and Outer Space: Practitioners are guided to perceive


the space within the body as being continuous with the outer space.
This technique encourages an expansion of awareness beyond the
physical boundaries of the body, fostering a sense of unity with the
vastness of the cosmos.

Sensory Withdrawal: This technique involves withdrawing attention


from the external senses and turning it inward. By disengaging from
sensory perceptions, individuals can redirect their awareness to the
inner realms of consciousness, facilitating a deeper state of
meditation.

Expansion of the Elements: Practitioners are instructed to meditate


on the elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space) both within and
around them. This practice helps to dissolve the perception of a
separate self and promotes a realization of the interconnectedness
between the individual and the elements of the universe.

Consciousness in the Limbs: This technique involves experiencing


the presence of consciousness in different parts of the body. By
focusing on the awareness within the limbs, practitioners can shift
their attention from the conceptual self to a more direct experience
of consciousness within the body.
Chapter 3 continues the theme of expanding awareness introduced
in the previous chapters. The emphasis on perceiving the unity of
inner and outer space, withdrawing from external senses, and
recognizing consciousness within the body contributes to the
overarching goal of realizing the non-dual nature of existence. These
practices invite practitioners to explore the interconnectedness of
the self with the broader cosmic reality.

nature of reality and the self. These practices involve using the
power of the mind to transcend ordinary perception and access
higher states of consciousness. Here are some techniques from
Chapter 4:

Contemplating the Source of Thought: This technique encourages


practitioners to trace the source of thoughts back to their origin. By
asking the question "Where does this thought arise?" individuals can
go beyond the surface level of thinking and tap into the underlying
source of consciousness.

Contemplating Oneness: In this practice, practitioners are guided to


contemplate the oneness that underlies all of existence. By
meditating on the idea that everything is interconnected and part of
a unified whole, individuals can move beyond the illusion of
separateness and experience a sense of unity.

Meditation on the Breathless State: This technique involves focusing


on the pause between the inhalation and exhalation, where the
breath becomes still. By meditating on the breathless state,
practitioners can access a dimension of stillness and transcendence
beyond the ordinary breath cycle.

Visualization of a Star: Practitioners are instructed to visualize a


radiant and pure star in the space above the head. This visualization
is meant to symbolize the divine light and can serve as a focal point
for meditation, leading to a heightened sense of inner illumination.
Chapter 4 builds on the practices of concentration and awareness
from the earlier chapters but introduces a more contemplative
aspect. These techniques leverage the power of the mind to inquire
into the nature of thoughts, contemplate unity, and use visualization
as a tool for deepening meditation. The goal is to go beyond the
limitations of ordinary perception and access the profound wisdom
that lies at the core of consciousness.

Scientific researches and theories which relates with Indian
Phylosophy and Spiritual Knowledge

Simulation Theory:

Simulation theory posits that our reality may be a simulated


construct created by a more advanced intelligence (according to
Indian philosoph, owr own self created this Maya/illusion/creation.
And we are experiencing our own lovely creation). Proponents of this
idea often draw parallels between the nature of our perceived reality
and the characteristics of computer simulations. The concept
suggests that what we perceive as the universe is, in essence, a
programmed or simulated experience.

ng_in_a_Simulation_2019

Quantum Physics:

Quantum physics, at the fundamental level, introduces probabilistic


and non-deterministic behaviors in the behavior of particles. The role
of observation and the uncertainty principle are central tenets of
quantum theory. Some proponents of the simulation hypothesis
draw parallels between the probabilistic nature of quantum states
and the idea that the universe operates based on underlying rules or
algorithms. According to Scriptures, our consciousness is creating
reality and we can influence it.
Holographic Reality:

The holographic principle is a concept derived from string theory and


black hole physics. It suggests that the information content of a
three-dimensional space can be encoded on a two-dimensional
surface. In this context, our perception of a three-dimensional reality
might be akin to a holographic projection.

Some interpretations draw


connections between the
holographic nature of reality
and the idea that there is a
fundamental informational
substrate underlying the
cosmos. This substrate could be
seen as a kind of cosmic "mind"
or organizing principle.

Manifestation of a Cosmic Mind:

The idea of a cosmic mind or universal consciousness suggests that


there is an underlying intelligence or awareness that gives rise to and
manifests the entirety of existence. This concept is often present in
various religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions.

In this context, some thinkers explore the possibility that the


simulation, quantum phenomena, and holographic reality are
expressions of a cosmic mind or consciousness. This cosmic mind
could be considered the source or ground of all existence, and the
various features of our reality are manifestations or expressions of
this underlying intelligence.
Double slit experiment:

The double-slit experiment is a fundamental experiment in


quantum physics that demonstrates the wave-particle duality of
particles like electrons or photons. In this experiment, particles
are sent through two
narrow slits, and as they
pass through, they create
an interference pattern
on the screen behind the
slits, indicative of wave-
like behavior. This interference pattern suggests that each
particle behaves as a wave that passes through both slits
simultaneously, interfering with itself, creating bands of
constructive and destructive interference.

The concept of manifestation, often associated with the law of


attraction or New Thought philosophy, is about the power of
thoughts and beliefs influencing reality. It suggests that
focusing one's thoughts, intentions, and emotions on a specific
outcome can bring that desired outcome into reality.

The relationship between the double-slit experiment and


manifestation lies in the understanding that observation or
measurement affects the behavior of quantum particles. When
an observer tries to determine which slit a particle passes
through in the double-slit experiment, the wave-like behavior
collapses into a particle-like behavior, and the interference
pattern disappears. This phenomenon is known as the
"observer effect" or "wavefunction collapse." In a way, the act of
observation or measurement in the double-slit experiment
parallels the role of focused intention or attention in
manifestation. Just as observation affects the behavior of
quantum particles, the focused thoughts and intentions of an
individual in manifestation are believed to influence their reality
or the outcome they desire.

Wave-Particle Duality:

The photon double-slit experiment demonstrates the wave-particle


duality of quantum particles, such as photons. When unobserved,
particles exhibit wave-like behavior, creating an interference pattern
on a screen behind the slits. However, when observed or measured,
particles behave like discrete particles, and the interference pattern
disappears.

Observer Effect:

The act of observation or measurement in the double-slit experiment


is crucial. The mere act of observing the particles collapses their
wavefunctions, forcing them to manifest as particles. This observer
effect is central to quantum theory and raises questions about the
role of consciousness or measurement in the nature of reality.

Some theories about Consiousness

Cosmic Mind and Consciousness:

Some interpretations suggest that the observer effect in the double-


slit experiment implies a fundamental connection between
consciousness and the nature of reality. The act of observation
seems to play a role in determining how particles behave, raising
questions about the nature of consciousness and its relationship to
the fabric of the universe.

In summary, the photon double-slit experiment is often invoked in


discussions that explore the boundaries between classical and
quantum physics, the nature of observation, and the potential
implications for the nature of reality. While it remains an active area
of research and interpretation, these connections are speculative
and subject to various philosophical and metaphysical perspectives.
The interplay between quantum phenomena, simulation theory,
holographic reality, and the concept of a cosmic mind highlights the
complexity and mystery of our understanding of the universe.

The connection between the photon double-slit experiment and


spirituality often involves interpretations that go beyond the strict
confines of scientific explanation and delve into the realm of
metaphysics, consciousness, and the nature of reality. Here are some
ways in which the experiment might be related to spiritual concepts:
Conscious Observation and Reality Creation:

The role of conscious observation in the double-slit experiment


raises questions about the nature of consciousness and its potential
role in shaping reality. Some spiritual perspectives posit that
consciousness plays a fundamental role in creating and shaping the
world around us, and the experiment's findings may resonate with
this idea.

Interconnectedness and Unity:

The wave-like behavior of particles and the interference pattern in


the double-slit experiment suggest a level of interconnectedness and
unity at the quantum level. This interconnectedness resonates with
spiritual concepts that emphasize the oneness of all existence and
the interconnected nature of reality.

Non-duality and Beyond Separation:

Spiritual traditions, particularly those rooted in Eastern philosophies,


often emphasize the concept of non-duality, where the boundaries
between observer and observed, subject and object, dissolve. The
wave-particle duality in quantum physics and the disappearance of
the interference pattern upon observation might be seen as
reflections of a reality that transcends conventional dualities.

Mind and Consciousness as Fundamental:

Some spiritual philosophies posit that mind or consciousness is


fundamental to reality. In the context of the double-slit experiment,
the act of observation influencing the outcome may align with the
idea that consciousness is not merely a product of the brain but is
intertwined with the fabric of the universe.

Quantum Mysticism:

Quantum mysticism is a term used to describe the blending of


quantum physics with mystical or spiritual interpretations. Some
individuals draw parallels between the mysterious and non-intuitive
aspects of quantum phenomena and the mystical experiences
described in various spiritual traditions.

It's crucial to recognize that while these connections can be thought-


provoking and inspirational, they exist in the realm of interpretation
and philosophy rather than empirical science. Spiritual perspectives
often involve subjective and personal interpretations that vary
widely among individuals and belief systems.

The connection between the photon double-slit experiment and the


subconscious mind's power of manifestation is often drawn in the
context of the observer effect and the role of consciousness in
shaping reality.

Mind Over Matter:

The concept of the subconscious mind's power of manifestation


aligns with the idea that thoughts and beliefs can have a tangible
impact on one's reality. This notion is sometimes expressed as "mind
over matter," suggesting that the mind's influence extends beyond
the boundaries of individual consciousness.
Visualization and Quantum Possibilities:

Some proponents of the subconscious mind's power of


manifestation encourage practices like visualization and positive
affirmation. The idea is that by vividly imagining a desired outcome,
individuals may influence the quantum possibilities that shape their
reality. This connects to the notion that the quantum world operates
on probabilities and potentialities until observed or measured.

Unity of Consciousness and Reality:

The unity suggested by the double-slit experiment's interference


pattern might be related to the concept that the subconscious mind
is intricately connected to the fabric of reality. In this view, the
subconscious mind is not a separate entity but an integral part of a
unified field of consciousness that interacts with and influences the
external world.

Co-Creation and Manifestation:

The idea of co-creation, where individuals actively participate in the


manifestation of their reality, is a theme often associated with the
subconscious mind's power. This concept implies that individuals are
not passive observers but active participants in the creation of their
experiences, aligning with the participatory nature suggested by the
observer effect.

It's important to note that these connections involve a blend of


scientific ideas, metaphysical concepts, and personal beliefs. While
some find inspiration and empowerment in the idea that the
subconscious mind can influence reality, others approach these
concepts with skepticism. The relationship between quantum
phenomena, consciousness, and the power of the subconscious mind
remains a subject of exploration and interpretation, with
perspectives varying widely among individuals and belief systems.

Certainly, let's summarize the connections between the photon


double-slit experiment, simulation theory, quantum physics,
holographic reality, the concept of a cosmic mind, and the
subconscious mind's power of manifestation within the context of
spirituality:

Spirituality:

Consciousness and Reality Creation: Draws parallels between


conscious observation in quantum experiments and the idea that
consciousness shapes or co-creates one's reality.

Interconnectedness and Unity: Aligns with spiritual concepts of


interconnectedness, oneness, and the dissolution of dualities.

Mind Over Matter: Reflects the spiritual notion that the mind's
influence extends beyond individual consciousness, influencing
external events.

Visualization and Intention: Practices like visualization and positive


affirmation align with the idea that focused intention can influence
the quantum possibilities that shape reality.

Co-Creation and Manifestation: Suggests that individuals are active


participants in the creation of their experiences, contributing to the
manifestation of their reality.
CONCLUSION

On concluding the notes, I would like to make you aware that we


all are here to experience our own created reality through our
own selves.
As it is said that, Shiva (Consciousness/Awareness) realises
himself by Shakti (The Energy of Creation).
Similarly, we are realising the “Supreme” through the creation.
This creation is not happening to us, its happening for us. To
make us realise our own self, the Supreme Self.
As it is also said that this all is Shiva Leela (Cosmic dance of the
creation), SO DANCE WITH THIS LEELA.

WITH LOTS OF LOVE
