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.
