"Any word arising out of his mouth is the extraordinary mantra;
any standing of his body is precisely mudrā..."
— Abhinavagupta, Anubhavavinivedana
The Proust Questionnaire, born in 19th-century Parisian salons, finds new life through the lens of Kashmir Shaivism. Here, each question becomes a threshold (dvāra), each answer an act of recognition (pratyabhijñā).
This is not merely a questionnaire—it is a practice of svātantrya, the absolute freedom of consciousness recognizing itself through form. What is your chief characteristic? What do you most value? Each response ripples through the fabric of awareness, creating patterns of meaning.
