Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 77 · Verse 100

One awareness in every body

Look at the people around you—in a room, on a street, or in memory. Recognize that the same awareness looking out through your eyes is looking out through theirs. The bodies differ; the knowing does not. Stay with that recognition until the line between your awareness and theirs begins to blur.

Older line

Awareness is the same in every body; nowhere is there any difference. Seeing everything as made of that one awareness, one passes beyond the bonds of worldly life.

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