Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 79 · Verse 102

The world as a dream while waking

Keep ordinary eyes open. Hold the recognition that this scene has the texture of last night’s dream, or of a painting, or of a magic show: appearing, convincing, passing. Do not make a philosophy of it. Keep looking until the scene is a little less solid, and you are a little less owned by it. The old text says that joy arises here.
