The Daily Anchor

You are not here to study ancient philosophy or to collect spiritual trivia. You are here to steady your attention.

Below are two old tools for that work: a single looking instruction from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, and a short verse from the Yoga Vasishta Sara, rendered in plain English so that you can use them without a teacher at your side. A new pair is drawn each time the page loads.

Hold these words as you would hold a smooth, heavy stone. Do not dissect them, and do not wait for a revelation. Read them once, let the instruction settle into the body, and give it time before you move on. The point is not to understand the instruction but to carry it out.
