[yatha tatha yatra tatra
dvadashante manah kshipet /
pratikshanam kshinavritter-
vailakshanyam dinairbhavet] // 51 //
Next, fifty-one.
Or, in each and every action, focus your mind in dvadashanta.
Yatha tatha yatra tatra dvadashante manah kshipet, when you are walking or talking, or doing some household work, or doing any other nonsense act, just concentrate your mind on dvadashanta.112 Your mind must hold the state of dvadashanta in each and every act of your daily routine of life. But this must be held in continuity, pratikshana. Then, one is born anew. One is born anew in days, not in months. Vailakshanyam dinair bhavet, some days will take place and he will be born anew; he will become new, all-round new.
This is anavopaya towards shambhavopaya.
JOHN: Both fifty and fifty-one are anavopaya?
SWAMIJI: Fifty is shaktopaya. Fifty-one is anavopaya to shambhavopaya.
DEVOTEE: How is the area of dvadashanta found?
SWAMIJI: For instance, I have put the specs [spectacles] in my case and I am taking it. Just do all these actions in that, in that awareness of dvadashanta. That state must be held in each and every act, in continuity. If it remains in continuity then you will be born anew in days, not in months; some days will be . . .
DEVOTEE: . . . enough.
SWAMIJI: Um, yes.
For this shloka, kshanair bhavet is another reading. Vailakshanyam, vailakshanatha, something new will happen to him, not in days, [but] in moments–vailakshanyam kshanair bhavet.
JOHN: And the other reading is “after some time.”
SWAMIJI: In days, in days; not in months. It won’t take a month. In a few days you will get that bliss.
JAGDISH: Kshina vritter is sadhaka?
SWAMIJI: Kshina vritter sadhakasya, the sadhaka who is kshina vritter, whose mind is just one-pointed, who has become one-pointed–to him, not to that sadhaka whose mind is not one-pointed.
GEORGE: Is dvadashanta a state or dvadashanta is the heart?
SWAMIJI: No, dvadashanta is the center, any center.
Wherever you go, if you are talking, put your mind in the center. If you are laughing, put there also your mind in the center. That is to be done. It is not to just only laugh; while laughing you have to put your mind in the center; while making jokes, put your mind in the center without break. Because the center, once you have realized [it] (you just breathe in and breathe out and be acquainted with the center), and that center you have to visualize in each and every movement of your livelihood. It must come into your vision. That is . . .
JOHN: State of dvadashanta.
SWAMIJI: . . . dvadashanta.
Yatha tatha yatra tatra, it is not only in the puja room, the meditation room. While walking, while doing any absurd things, but dvadashante manah kshipet, the mind must be centered in dvadashanta. Any movement, in any movement–not once, not twice, not thrice, [but] pratikshana, in continuity–you have to put that mind in dvadashanta.
Then kshina vritter, his mind will cease to function. His mind will cease to function altogether, and he will become a new man in some moments, or in a few days, not months. Then nothing is to be done afterwards. Then his everything is there. The state of dvadashanta is not only between the two eyebrows, only here [the throat pit], only in the heart.
GEORGE: That center, any center.
SWAMIJI: Any center!113
GEORGE: Yes.
SWAMIJI: Bas! You must visualize it. You must keep it in vision and then put your mind
breaklessly, without break. Then you will become new within days, or within moments.
