Verse 106Nonduality

Watching the Subject-Object Split

Bhairava

Normally, we feel like there is a “me” looking at a separate “thing.” This verse says advanced practice is to notice that split very clearly. When you see it, you are less trapped by it.

विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् ग्राह्यग्राहकसवित्त्वं सामान्या सिद्धदेवधनानाम् । योगिनां तु विशेषोऽस्ति सम्बन्धे सािधानता ॥ १०६ ॥

grāhya-grāhaka-sattvaṃ sāmānyaṃ siddhadehinām | yogināṃ tu viśeṣo 'sti sambandhe sāvadhānatā || 106 ||

Translation

For perfected beings, the existence of the grasped and the grasper is ordinary. But for yogins, the special practice is mindfulness in relation to that connection.

Notice the subject-object structure itself, and remain alert to it without unconsciously falling into it.
