AKASHIC REVELATION
The external vision of the Yogin,
when it becomes fixed only on
the one object In the Interior,
(with the mind concentrated on
the Viraj, Sutratman, Bija or the
Turiya in the Muladhara, Anahata
or Sahasrara) and in
consequence devoid of shutting
or opening the eyelids, this is the
reputed Vaisnavi Mudra, which is
well preserved as a secret in all
the Tantras. 14.

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.
