Vijnana Bhairava Tantra · Dharana 93 · Verse 116

Wherever the mind goes

Do not fight the next thought. Wherever the mind goes, outward or inward, take that very place as the practice. The object is not the problem. The sense of having left the ground is the problem. Rest as the knowing of whatever has appeared. If the Real is everywhere, where could the mind go to leave it?

Older line

Wherever the mind goes, whether outward or inward, there is the state of Shiva. Since Shiva is everywhere, where can the mind go?

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