    About this ebook

    The Vigyan Bhairav Tantra is a 5000 year old text depicting the allegorical discourse of Shiva and his consort Devi on the meaning of existence. Devi asks this not for her, because she has already surrendered to Shiva, thus attained, she is asking this for you, Humanity. Shiva does not tell her about existence but gives 112 techniques to use while meditating.

    The Tao te Ching is the best method to actually surrender, thus avoid the 112 techniques above. It is a 5000 words discourse from Lao Tzu, as a guide to living life to the fullest and the best possible way.

    The book's title is "seeker follow no path" as any path can lead back to where you started from. Rather go and meander thus find yourself. Seeking is also futile as it is implied as an action in the future.

      Foreword

      Enlightenment is not easy to grasp. When you follow a path, it leads somewhere and the truth is here NOW.

      In this small book I have included two ancient texts both ideal to self-realization. Lao Tzu says; there is nowhere to go, you are already there.

      The truth is not something to grasp in the future. It is here and now. You are perfect the way you are to see this Truth, the only hindrance is the blinders society has put on you in the form of your conditioned mind.

      When you approach meditation or tantra with any expectation or motive that very notion will become a hindrance and attainment will not happen until you let go of all agendas, motives and desire.

      This book will hopefully erase the blinders and liberate your conditioned mind to reach your full potential and gain peace and balance in your life no matter what happens in the external world.

      Neither texts were meant to be public, especially the Dao. The lore says that in his old age Lao Tzu had decided to leave his home and head West to the Himalayas to die. On the border he was stopped by the guard and forced to write down what he knew. He had stayed there and wrote a short yet amazing treatise and thus the Dao te Ching was formed.

      About the Author

      All my life I wanted to know God. My maternal grand mother was living with us and her quiet assurance and guidance lead me towards spirituality. Her best friends were two unmarried nuns who were virgins and looked after a sick drunkard and later my grandmother too. She died under my mothers care when she was ninety-nine years old.

      I was shy, quiet and introverted, not a particularly good student. Perhaps my studies were hindered by the tumultuous and dysfunctional home I was born into. My parents were fighting all the time. Finally, when I was twenty-one I have decided to leave. During these day the Iron Curtain still hang between East and Western Europe and getting a refugee visa was relatively easy to obtain, so in 1979 I arrived in the United States.

      After much meandering, later in life I had met my Yoga teacher and this encounter had altered my life completely. Before this event I was blindly seeking money and pleasures of life without giving any thought of the deeper meaning of life. Needless to say my outward search yielded no happiness nor substantial peace of mind. After meeting my yoga teacher I have gradually accepted and understood non-duality and the benefit of meditation. Later on, after my teacher and I had separated I have found the fpmt.org website after reading the book a Death on Diamond Mountain¹

      I always wanted to learn more about Tibetan Buddhism and the Mahayana tradition, so I have joined the fpmt.org as a corresponding student. This is where I have studied the Tantra and Meditation further.

      I have read Osho’s Book of Secrets and later (as a comparison) a book by Swami Lakshmanjoo to solidify my understanding on Tantra and non-duality.

      Due to a mood disorder I was never able to meditate with ease but I have managed finding solace in total surrendering after reading the Dao Te Ching², a book that finally allowed me to achieve balance and peace of mind.

      Mystical Experiences

      We all like to have some experience that would be categorized otherworldly. The racket of Western Spirituality is filled with how to books or videos on how to get Out of Body experience, lucid dreaming, rising Kundalini or attain God’s Consciousness. The sellers of the experience have limitless buyers as it is human nature to seek God and seek happiness.

      This book makes no such claims, nor we claim that this book is all inclusive in information. As some of the exercises call for Chakra manipulation.

      The by-product of doing these 112 exercises might reveal the practitioner a way of attainment but there is no guarantee. A less loftier goal of this book is to teach the reader proper meditating techniques, getting balanced and realizing non-duality as the core world view while maintaining a healthy life on Earth. It is said that amongst the 112 there is one technique to fit somebody – born in the past preset or in the future. I do not claim the ability to match the reader with the right technique so my advice is to try them all.
