The third and final part of Chapter Three of Abhinavagupta’s Tantrasāra teaches us about the relationship between the fundamental powers of Awareness and human language, and introduces the doctrine of enlivened mantras.
Exploring the first two verses of the Spaciousness section of the scripture. The practices of these two verses specifically connect sound & spaciousness (śabda and śūnya).

Our VBT series continues with Yuktis #10 and 11, which are interesting subtle practices for more experienced yogins.
