Verse 126Nonduality

Beyond Attraction and Aversion

Bhairava

This verse says not to feed either liking or dislike. If you stop pushing and pulling, a deeper stillness opens up. In that stillness, you can sense a larger reality that was hidden by your reactions.

न द्वेषं भाियेत्क्वावप न रागं भाियेत्क्ववचत् । रागद्वेषविवनमुधिौ मध्ये ब्रह्म प्रसपधवत ॥ १२६ ॥

na dveṣaṃ bhāvayet kvāpi na rāgaṃ bhāvayet kvacit | rāgadveṣavininmuktau madhye brahma prasarpati || 126 ||

Translation

One should not foster aversion anywhere, nor foster attachment anywhere; when free from attachment and aversion, Brahman expands in the middle.

Release both craving and rejection so the middle state of Brahman can reveal itself.
