Sadyaḥpratyaya (सद्यःप्रत्यय) refers to “instant proof”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Even] without [other] yoga texts and the various opinions of gurus, Listen: this is self-realization [which] generates instant proof (sadyaḥpratyaya-kāraka) [of its own effectiveness]. Always avoid the [yoga] with form, mind and effort. Always adopt the [yoga] with no form, no mind and no effort. [...]”.
