What lies at the heart of one of the most revered scriptures of non-dual Tantra?

In this episode, we hear a direct reading of the opening and closing verses of the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra, a text composed over a thousand years ago that frames 112 transformative meditation practices. These verses are far more than an introduction or conclusion—they carry profound insights into the nature of reality, the relationship of Śiva and Śakti, and the ultimate context in which Tantric practice becomes effective. Rendered here in a fresh translation, the words of the Goddess and Bhairava point us beyond ritual and form into the essence of awareness itself. Listeners are invited into the contemplative power of scripture, allowing the poetry of these ancient teachings to speak directly to the heart.
