Meditation techniques (ध्यान तंत्र): VBT4 (विज्ञान भैरव तंत्र ४)

Every month I will be sharing one technique of meditation. There will be original Sanskrut text, and English / Marathi commentary on the technique. I expect reader should not take it as just a piece of information but practice the technique that suits him/her for at least one month to further the spiritual quest.

 Devi Asks:

O Shiva, what is your reality?

What is this wonder-filled universe?

What constitutes seed?

Who centres the universal wheel?

What is this life beyond form pervading forms?

How may we enter it full, above space and time, names and descriptions?

Let my doubts be cleared!

Now Shiva replies and describes 112 meditation techniques.  All the religions of the world, all the seers of the world, have reached the peak through some technique or other, and all those techniques will be in these one hundred and twelve techniques.

तंत्र ४

कुम्भिता रेचिता वापि पूरिता या यदा भवेत् |

तदन्ते शान्तनामासौ शक्त्या शान्तः प्रकाशते ||

When kumbhaka takes place after pooraka or rechaka, then the shakti known as shanta is experienced and through that peace (the bhairava consciousness) is revealed.

In universal pause of breath in or out one’s small ego vanishes…

(Kumbhaka dharana)

Desiring mind is impure mind which cannot experience pause between the breaths. But in emergencies (e.g. accident or unexpected situation) your breath stops automatically. In such situation you can experience this subtle pause. During this pause, the ego is forgotten as it is useful only for daily utilities not for emergencies. Zen methods are designed to create such emergencies because with cause, pause cannot be created. When you cannot understand causality, mind stops and when mind stops, breathing stops. This is a two way process. Ayurveda measures life not in years but in breaths. If you stop breathing then you will not able to think. This pause has to be created for impure, desiring mind but for pure mind the pause is always here. When you are high on emotions your breath moves fast. In pure mind there is no desire, no motivation, not going anywhere hence breath stops automatically as there is no need of regular breath. In this pause the small self vanishes and you attain the higher self or supreme self.

वासनारहित मनाद्वारे दीर्घ आणि सह्ज श्वास विराम...

अहंकाराची गरज केवळ दैनंदिन व्यवहारासाठी. आणीबाणीच्या प्रसंगी 'स्व' चा विसर, नैसर्गिक श्वास विराम. मनाचे कार्य सदैव श्वाससहित. श्वासरहित अवस्थेत मनाचे अस्तित्व नाही. विकारशील मनासाठी गतीमान श्वास आवश्यक. जेव्हा मन विकारशून्य तेव्हा श्वास विरामाची अनुभूती. मनाची शूचिता मनातील वासनांशी निगडीत. वासना सर्व प्रेरणांचे मूलकारण. वासनाक्षयामूळे श्वास अनावश्यक. त्यातून दीर्घ व सहज श्वास विराम. श्वासविरामाद्वारे अहंकारशून्यता आणी त्याद्वारा आत्मानुभूती.

तंत्र ३

न व्रजेन्न विशेच्छक्ति-र्मरुद्रुपा विकासिते |

निर्विकल्पतया मध्ये तया भैरवरुपता ||

When shakti in the form of vayu or pranic air is still and does not move swiftly in a specific direction, there develops in the middle, through the state of nirvikalpa, the form of bhairava.

The fusion of incoming breath and outgoing breath is your center…

(Kumbhaka dharana)

We are divided in to center and periphery. Our body is periphery. We know it but we don’t know the center. Breath is the bridge between you and your body. When breath is either going out or coming in it is dynamic. But when it is neither it is static. Look at incoming breath. Where does it touch? Look at outgoing breath. From where does it start? Each breath touches your center. Not head but naval is your center. As we are not taking enough breath, the center is never touched and we feel decentralize, feels off center. We breathe through chest and do not allow it to reach the center. Totality is always beautiful whether it is in love or anger. We are partial in everything due to shallow breathing. With deep breathing, what so ever you do it becomes a total act, good or bad. When you are off center, we are fragmentary and a part going against total and hence the ugliness. Civilization, conditioning encourages us to remain off center as then only we are not vulnerable, not open. We want to control everything around us and that is not possible in totality. More you are dead, more you can control, and you can remain master. When you go near to nature, you feel bliss. It is not because nature but because your deep breath which you don’t take otherwise. You can feel this bliss with each breath irrespective where you are. If breath goes deep, it gives energy to your sex center. It activates your sex center. Most of the religions made sex a taboo and hence take every precaution of not activating it. Breathe energy and sex energy when meets creates bio-energy, a life. Our body works on fuel energy which is generated by food. The center is without this bio-energy, it is connected to cosmic energy which is not generated by body, which we do not aware of. The moment you feel the fusion point of the breath, the static form of the breath, you are at your center.

दीर्घ श्वासोच्छवासातून पूर्णत्वाची अनुभूती...

श्वासाचे अंर्तगमन आणी बर्हिगमन गतिमान. परंतु अंर्तगामी श्वास बर्हिगामी होण्याच्या क्षणी गतिशून्यता.दीर्घ श्वासाद्वारे गतिशून्य केंद्र्स्थानाची, मणिपूरचक्राची अनुभूती. उथळ श्वासात मणिपूर चक्राला स्पर्श नाही. त्यामुळे सदैव अपूर्णतेची आंतरिक जाणीव. संस्कारातून परिस्थितीवर नियंत्रण प्रस्थापित करण्याची इच्छा. नियंत्रणासाठी मनाचे, बुद्धीचे प्राबल्य आवश्यक, आणी त्यासाठी आत्मतत्वाचे विस्मरण देखील आवश्यक. उथळ श्वासाद्वारे ही प्रक्रिया सुलभ. दीर्घ श्वासाद्वारे नियंत्रणशुन्य परिस्थितीशरणता शक्य आणी त्याद्वारा पूर्णत्वाची अनुभूती. श्वास शक्ती आणी संभोग शक्तीच्या मीलनातून जीवाची निर्मिती.पंचमहाभूतात्मक शरीराच्या पोषणासाठी केवळ या शक्तीचा वापर. गतिशुन्य केंद्रस्थानी जीवशक्तीचा अभाव तर केवळ आत्मतत्वाचे अस्तित्व.

तंत्र २

मरुतोन्तर्बहिर्वापि वियद्युग्मानिवर्तनात् |

भैरव्या भैरवस्येत्थं भैरवि व्यज्यते वपु: ||

When the ingoing pranic air and outgoing pranic air are both restrained in their space from their (respective points of) return, the essence of bhairava, which is not different from bhairavi, manifests.

Through both turns of breath realize the self…

(Kumbhaka dharana)

Incoming and outgoing breaths are not two parallel lines but a circle. Breaths in and out are not two breaths but a single breath. There must be a point somewhere inside where incoming breath becomes outgoing one. Each time you change gear of vehicle, you have to pass a neutral gear. That neutral gear is turning point to shift from one to another gear. In this neutral gear ingoing breath becomes outgoing. In that neutral gear you are neither physical nor mental. Both are gears of your being. You go on moving from gear to gear, unaware about neutral gear passing in between, when you neither body nor mind. Hence the emphasis is on turning. Man is a big complex machine. You have many gears in body and in mind. This body-mind complex is a great machine, greatest mechanical device. Each cell is an alive soul. Millions of citizens living in the city called human body and city is running silently. There are moments when you are not part of this mechanism, when you change gears. For waking and sleeping states different mechanism of mind is needed. When you change gear there is turning. This turn is very subtle, which needs great observation capacity. But due to excessive thinking habit we miss observation almost always. Mind by nature can’t be at one single point. It is always on move. On turning, breath leaves you and you are not with breath. If breathing is life then you are dead, if breathing is body, then you are no body, if breathing is mind, then you are no mind during the moment of turning. A nonmoving breath at turning disjoins you from body and mind. You can be easily aware during this disjoined moment from the mechanism about your true nature. Who is there inside this house? Am I just a house without master? Am I just a mechanism? If you become aware of the turning, you will become a realized soul.   

श्वास विरामाच्या जाणीवेतून शरीररुपी यंत्रापलिकडील आत्मतत्वाची अनुभूती...

अंर्तश्वास आणि बर्हिश्वास एकाच चक्राचे अंग. जेव्हा श्वास मणिपुर चक्राशी स्पर्श करुन उच्छवास होतो त्यापुर्वी क्षणिक श्वासरहित अवस्था. ही अवस्था पार केल्याशिवाय उच्छवास  अशक्य. जर श्वासोछवास म्हणजे जीवन, शरीर, मन तर श्वास विराम म्हणजे मृत्यू, शरीर- मन अवस्था. शरीर- मनाच्या जाणीवेतून  आत्मतत्त्वाचे विस्मरण. शरीरात अगणित पेशी, मनाचे असंख्य पदर यांची स्वतःची कार्यपद्धती. श्व्वास विरामाच्या अवस्थेत या यांत्रिक कार्यपद्धतीच्या पलिकडील आत्मतत्वाची जाणीव शक्य. मनाच्या ऊच्छ्रुंखलतेमुळे श्वासविरामाची जाणीव नाही. दीर्घ श्वासोच्छश्वासाद्वारे मनाची स्थिरता प्रयत्न्नसाध्य. त्याद्वारा श्व्वास विरामाच्या जाणीवेतून आत्मतत्वाची अनुभूती.
