Sahajasadṛśa (सहजसदृश) refers to “that which corresponds to one’s natural state”, according to the Candrāvalokana: a short dialogue between Śiva and Matsyendranātha dealing with teachings on absorption, mind and breath.—Accordingly, while discussing the no-mind state: “So long as the moving breath does not enter the central channel; so long as one's semen, which is connected to the breath, is not stable, and so long as the no-mind state which corresponds to one’s natural [state] (sahajasadṛśa) does not arise in meditation, then if one talks of gnosis, it is deceitful and false prattling”.
