Thirteenth dhāraṇā. The practice of mantra as play (līlā). Not as rigid discipline or spiritual duty. As play. The garland of mantras (mantramālā) is held (dhārayet) with the lightness of one at play.

So’yam — “this am I.” The great mantra of recognition. Every object perceived, every experience lived, is “I.” Not the small self of ego. The Self that is Bhairava. The direct recognition that there is no separation between consciousness and its manifestation.

Akramo bhavet — the immediate, without sequence, arises. Akrama is the absence of gradual process. No steps. No path. Recognition is instantaneous or it is not. This technique dissolves the idea of spiritual progress: everything is already here.
