Bliss from Drinking and Eating
Bhairava
This verse says that even simple pleasures like eating or drinking can become practice. Instead of rushing through the pleasant feeling, notice how alive and open you become. If you stay with that fullness, it can deepen into a larger spiritual joy.
विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् जववधपानकृतोल्लासरसानन्दविजृम्भणात् । भाियेद्भवरतािस्थां महानन्दस्ततो भवेत् ॥ ७२ ॥
vijñāna-bhairava tantraṃ | javavadhyāna-pānakṛtollāsa-rasa-ānanda-vijṛmbhaṇāt | bhāvayet bhava-ratāvasthāṃ mahānandas tato bhavet || 72 ||
Translation
By the surge of joy and bliss born of delight produced through drinking and eating, one should contemplate the state of being absorbed in existence; then great bliss arises.
Transform ordinary sensory delight into a contemplative doorway to profound bliss and expanded being.
