Sixty-seventh dhāraṇā. The joy of reunion. Dṛṣṭe vā bāndhave cirāt — upon seeing a loved one after long absence. That exact moment when the heart leaps. Before words, before embrace. The pure joy of recognition.

Bhairava says dhyāyet — meditate on it. Not on the person. Not on circumstance. On the joy itself that springs up (udgatam) like a geyser from within. Where does it come from? Not from the person you see. It was latent in you.

Tallayaḥ tanmanā bhavet — dissolving in that, the mind becomes that. The mind merges with pure emotion. There is no subject who feels joy. There is only joy. It is the difference between feeling an emotion and being the emotion. In that being, there is no separation. And without separation, that is Bhairava.
