Vedanta (school of philosophy)

Source: Google Books: Sannyasa Upanishad

Sadyas (सद्यस्) or Sadyomukti refers to “direct (instant) liberation”, according to the commentary on the Kuṇḍika-upaniṣad verse 28.—The worshippers of the pure, resplendent Brahman (śabala-brahma) enter the world of Brahma (brahmaloka), that is, the sphere of Hiraṇyagarbha, along the path of the Sun (sūryamārga, or uttarāyaṇa-mārga) by exiting from the crown of the head (brahma-randhra) through the suṣumṇā canal; and there they are engaged in their quest for the attributeless Brahman till the end of the kalpa (till pralaya, or great dissolution, takes place). Having lived there till such time, they ultimately merge with Brahman on the attenuation of their subtle desires and attractions (vāsanā-kṣaya). Thereafter they never return to the plane of relative existence. This is the gradual liberation (krama-mukti) attained by the knowers of Brahman with attributes (saviśeṣa brahmajñānī). On the other hand, the knowers of the attributeless, absolute Brahman (nirviśeṣa brahmajñānī) will attain direct, instant liberation (sadyas-mukti), here and now (ihaiva).

Always avoid the [yoga] with form, mind and effort. Always adopt the [yoga] with no form, no mind and no effort. [...]”.

2) Sadyas (सद्यस्) refers to an “immediate (cause)” (of paranormal powers), according to the Kaulajñānanirṇaya 14.82-84.—Accordingly: [The goddess said]: “[What is] the highest reality which is free from the multitude of mantras, Prāṇāyāma and meditation on Cakras, and is an immediate cause of paranormal powers (sadyas-siddhikara), has no interior and [yet] is in the body, and is the destroyer of doubt?”.
