Verse 89Dissolution

Entry through Sense Interruption

Bhairava

If one of your senses is briefly blocked or interrupted, attention can turn inward. The verse says that when this happens and you enter a deep inner emptiness, your true self shows up clearly. It is like noticing the room's silence after a loud sound stops.

विज्ञानभैरव तन्त्रम् यस्य कस्येवन्द्रयस्यावप व्याघाताच्च वनरोधत् । प्रविष्टस्याद्वये शून्ये तिैिात्मा प्रकाशते ॥ ८९ ॥

yasya kasyendriyasyaapi vyāghātāc ca nirodhataḥ | praviṣṭasyādvaye śūnye tatrāivātmā prakāśate || 89 ||

Translation

When any sense faculty is interrupted and restrained, upon entering the nondual void, there the Self shines forth.

Use sensory interruption as a doorway into the nondual void where the Self becomes self-evident.
