Verse 60Space
Gaze into the Chosen Void
Bhairava
This verse suggests resting your gaze on a still point, like the top of a mountain or a quiet peak. By holding attention there, the mind gradually becomes less busy. When the inner image dissolves, thoughts lose their fuel.
विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् वनिृधक्षवगवरवभत्त्यावददेशे दृवष्टं विवनवक्षपेत् । विलीने मानसे भावे िृत्तिक्षीण् प्रजायते ॥ ६० ॥
niruddha-śikharāvalambitād deśe dṛṣṭiṃ vinikṣipet | vilīne mānase bhāve vṛttikṣīṇaṃ prajāyate || 60 ||
Translation
One should cast the gaze into a place supported by a restrained peak or summit; when the mental state has dissolved, the fluctuations become exhausted. || 60 ||
Place attention in a fixed open location so the mind-state dissolves and mental fluctuations wear out.
