Bhairavī as Inner Bliss
Bhairava
This verse points to a deep inner joy that comes when thinking stops dominating experience. It is not excitement from outside things, but a quiet fullness felt from within. In that state, the feminine and masculine divine are not separate—they are one awareness.
विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् अन्त् स्वानुभिानन्दा विकल्पोन्मुिगोचरा । यावस्था भवरताकारा भैरवी भैरवात्मन् ॥ १५ ॥
antaḥsvānubhavānandā vikalponmuktagocarā | yāvasthā bhairatākārā bhairavī bhairavātmanā || 15 ||
Translation
That state, whose field is free of thought-constructs and whose essence is inner experience and bliss, whose form is Bhairava, is Bhairavī, the self of Bhairava.
Describe the living, blissful, nonconceptual state in which Bhairavī and Bhairava are recognized as one reality.
