AKASHIC REVELATION
Fixing the gaze inwards into the
inner space and with the eyes
opening out, but devoid of the
acts of opening and closing of
the eyelids, this Shambhavi–
mudra is assumed. This mahā–
vidya (the great ultimate source
knowledge) is, of all the Tantras,
what is kept a profound secret.
With the experiential knowledge
of this, is attained freedom and
completion from the state of
worldly existence.By its worship,
is bestowed the fruit of
liberation.

AKASHIC REVELATION
Pressing the anus with the heel,
(the practitioner) should forcibly
draw up the vital air in such a
way that the air would move
upwards stage by stage. The
Prana and Apana (vital airs), as
also the Nada (Intellect) and the
Bindu (mind), becoming one by
means of the Mula–bandha,
bestow the successful
accomplishment of Yoga. Herein
there is no doubt.
