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 ŚAMBHAVI-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.

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.
