Free from duality dhyana

Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah

Chapter 2, Text 64
raga‑dvesa‑vimuktais tu
visayan indriyais caran
atma‑vasyair vidheyatma
prasadam adhigacchati



TRANSLATION
But a person free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses through regulative principles of freedom can obtain the complete mercy of the Lord.

Dhyana (Dalai lama meditation) : Sit in any meditative posture, close your eyes. Visualize yourself on your left side and right side. The ‘you’ on left side has your negative qualities, and the ‘you’ on your right side has your positive qualities.
Step-1 : Bring your attention/focus to you on left side and visualize yourself how you would have looked to others and how your state of mind would be when you are suffering from one of the six enemies (desire, anger, greed, attachment, pride, jealousy). Take one emotion at a time. See clearly your facial expressions, and how you have felt internally when undergoing any of the six enemies.
Step-2 : Bring your attention/focus to you on right side and visualize yourself how you would have looked to others and how your state of mind would be when you are undergoing any of the positive opposite quality to the six enemies (love, peace, giving, let go, humbleness, appreciation of others). Take one emotion at a time. See clearly your facial expressions, and how you have felt internally when undergoing any of the six positive qualities.
Step-3 : Make a choice which quality you want to have and merge with right side.

Do for all the qualities that are mentioned. Enjoy the peace and bliss.
