Tracing Reality by the Cosmic Path
Bhairava
The verse invites you to imagine the universe as a complete, perfected field with edges and pathways. By contemplating this whole pattern, you gradually sense the deeper principle that holds it all together. That recognition brings a big inner waking-up.
विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् अस्य सिधस्य विश्वस्य पयधन्तेषु समन्तत् । अर्ध्वप्रवक्रयया तत्त्वं शैिं ध्यत्वा महोदय् ॥ ५७ ॥
asya siddhasya viśvasya paryanteṣu samantataḥ | adhvaprakriyayā tattvaṃ śaivaṃ dhyātvā mahodayam || 57 ||
Translation
Within the perfected universe, all around its limits, by the method of the path one should meditate on the Śaiva principle, and then there is great awakening. || 57 ||
Trace the universe’s cosmic structure all around its bounds and meditate on the Śaiva principle until a great awakening arises.
