I recently came across the Vigyana Bhairava Tantra (विज्ञान भैरव तंत्र) — a dialogue of around 112 verses between Shiva (Bhairava) and Parvati (Bhairavi). In that, Parvati asks, “How can one reach the highest state, the essence of peace?” and Shiva replies with 112 techniques. The essence of all these methods is simple: peace is found in the space between things — between breaths, between thoughts, between sounds, between emotions, between sensations, and between the knower and the known.
It reminded me of what Pari Ma’am spoke about the other day regarding duality — so profound! In short, the stillness you seek is always here, in the gap, in the present moment :)
