Verse 32Space
Fivefold Void Meditation
Bhairava
This verse suggests focusing on spaciousness in several directions, almost like sensing empty circles or openings around you. Instead of chasing thoughts, you rest in the feeling of inner space. That spaciousness can then be felt not just around you but in the heart itself.
वशवखपक्षैवश्चिरूपैमण्डलै् शून्यपञ्चकम् । ध्यायतोऽनुत्तरे शून्ये प्रिेशो हृदये भवेत् ॥ ३२ ॥
vaśa-vakha-pakṣaivaś cirūpai maṇḍalaiḥ śūnya-pañcakam | dhyāyato'nuttare śūnye prīśo hṛdaye bhavet || 32 ||
Translation
Meditating on the five voids through the forms of the controlled directions and wing-like circles, entry into the supreme void arises in the heart.
Contemplate the subtle voids until the heart opens into the unsurpassed inner emptiness.
