Laukika Dhāraṇā · Dhāraṇā 82

यस्य कस्यापि वर्णस्य पूर्वान्तानुभवं शिवम् । शून्यभूतस्तु विज्ञेयस्तदा तत्त्वार्थदर्शिनः ॥

yasya kasyāpi varṇasya pūrvāntānubhavaṃ śivam | śūnyabhūtas tu vijñeyas tadā tattvārthadarśinaḥ ||

The experience of the beginning and end of any sound is Śiva. Whoever has become void is to be known as the seer of supreme reality.

Eighty-second technique. Any sound. Yasya kasyāpi varṇasya — of any sound, any whatsoever, no matter which. A car horn. A dog’s bark. A door closing. Bhairava completely democratizes the practice.

Pūrvāntānubhavam — the experience of beginning and end. Every sound has a birth and a death. Between both, it exists. Before and after, not. These two borders — emergence and dissolution — are śivam. They are the divine manifesting and reabsorbing itself.

Śūnyabhūtaḥ — whoever has become void observing these borders. Tattvārthadarśinaḥ — the seer of supreme reality. You need no mantra. You need no special silence. The world is full of sounds. Each one is a complete teaching on emergence, permanence, and dissolution. On existence and void.
