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.

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.
