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 ŚAMBHAVĪ-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.

BY WHAT MEANS A GREAT BIRD SOARS
UP WITHOUT REST, THAT ALONE IS THE
UDDIYANA AND A BANDHA IS
PRESCRIBED THEREFOR. ONE SHOULD

IN THE BELLY ABOVE THE NAVAL. THIS
WILL BE THE UDDIYANA-BANDHA, THE
LION WHICH WILL QUELL THE
ELEPHANT OF DEATH, AND WHICH
