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.
