Bhāva Dhāraṇā · Dhāraṇā 65
यत्र यत्र मनस्तुष्टिर्मनस्तत्रैव धारयेत् । तत्र तत्र परानन्दस्वरूपं सम्प्रवर्तते ॥
yatra yatra manas tuṣṭir manas tatraiva dhārayet | tatra tatra parānandasvarūpaṃ sampravartate ||
Wherever the mind finds satisfaction, fix it there itself. There manifests the nature of supreme beatitude.
Sixty-fifth dhāraṇā. Pleasure as anchor. Yatra yatra manas tuṣṭiḥ — wherever the mind finds satisfaction. It does not matter what produces it. A taste, a caress, a melody, silence. The object is irrelevant.
What matters is the moment of tuṣṭi — pure satisfaction, before the mind names and files it. Bhairava says: fix the mind there. Not on the object. On satisfaction itself. On that naked quality of contentment.
Parānandasvarūpam — the nature of supreme beatitude. It is not different from that instant of simple pleasure. The difference is attention. Everyday pleasure passes and is forgotten. If you stop the mind in it, if you abide in it without clinging to the object that produced it, it expands to reveal its true nature: unlimited ānanda.
