Hundred-first dhāraṇā. Fire and poison as vehicles. Vahneḥ viṣasya madhye — in the midst of fire or poison. Metaphors of extreme intensity. Situations where the ordinary mind panics. Bhairava says: cast the blissful mind there.

Cittaṃ sukhamayaṃ kṣipet — cast the mind made of happiness. Not the frightened mind. Not the mind that flees. The mind that is bliss. If your mind is sukha, what can fire burn? What can poison poison?

Kevalaṃ vāyupūrṇaṃ vā smarānandena yujyate — or else, filled only with air — that is, intense prāṇāyāma, the body vibrating with prāṇa — one is united with beatitude of memory. Smarānanda — the bliss of remembering the real. When you have once tasted supreme beatitude, its memory has transformative power. It can turn fire into coolness.
