Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 47 · Verse 70

Memory of union

Recall a moment of complete union with a lover: not the story around it, and not the person as a character, but the felt sense itself. Stay with that sense until the mind stops adding plot. This is not fantasy. It is the use of a known opening in the body as a door.

Older line

Even when the beloved is absent, the vivid memory of the joy of union can bring a flood of bliss.

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