Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 46 · Verse 69

Stay present at the peak

At the peak of sexual pleasure, remain aware. Do not disappear into the event. The intensity of the joy is being used to reveal what you are, not to be collected. If awareness collapses and only sensation remains, that is ordinary climax. If awareness stays present inside the joy, that is this meditation.

Older line

The joy that comes with union, when its rising excitement ends in absorption in pure energy, is the joy of the Absolute. That joy is said to be your own.

After you look: if it is still alive, stay with it. If it has gone quiet, let tomorrow bring the next one.
