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.
