Vignana Bhairava Tantra - 8


Swing and dance with Joy


Chalasane Sthithasyatha Shanairva Deha Chalanath

Prashanthe Manase Bhave Devi Divyaughamapnuyath.


We did it as kids, didn't we - holding a partner's hand and swinging round and round till the sky above began spinning and we fell down. Then it happened in the park when there would be a queue for a wooden swing. Rocking from one end to another, in space that did not move. There was bliss in the game. There was bliss in the swinging. That bliss of a tranquil mind in a swinging body is the divine that you have always been looking for. Be with that experience of the stillness between the swinging from one end to another, the quietude that has always been through the dancing movements of the body. That tranquility is the meditative state of mind and it is as simple as watching it while we walk, run, bend, stretch, swing, swim, dance, play games. So next time you feel like letting loose on the dance floor, or rocking a baby on the cradle or just catching hold of a vacant swing - jump in and be with the movement. It's as simple as that! - Swahilya Shambhavi.
