send it. When mosquitoes bite you on your leg, let them, there
is no problem if you withdraw your chit from there. Besides the
mosquitoes will only bite if you have a karmic debt with them.
What is the nature of the chit? Once you withdraw it from a
certain location it will not remember that place. The Self (Soul)
exists in all parts of the body except the hair and the nails, but
if you pull your chit away, then no messages can be forwarded
to the ‘head office’. The message only reaches the head office due
to the presence of the chit; only then will the ‘Deputy Superintendent
of the Police (the one who follows the orders of the Self)’ come
to investigate. If a mosquito bites you on your hand, your chit
will go there. Loosing a hundred thousand or making a hundred
thousand is like these mosquitoes that come and go.
If a man is very hungry is he likely to be staring at clothes
in a cloth shop? No, he will look for a food store. If a hungry
man steps out of his house, he will look for food. A woman,
hungry for a sari, will seek out a sari shop one way or the other.
When the body is not hungry, the mind will become hungry.
When neither the body nor the mind is hungry, there will be a
hunger for speech. When one says, “I will not rest until I tell
him”, that is hunger for speech. If you are eating and a beggar
passes by, the old people used to say, “Be careful, that he does
not cast an evil eye (najar) on you.” Now what is this ‘najar’
that they talk about? It means that the chit becomes stuck in
anything that one is hungry for. If a woman is hungry for a
particular man, her chit will get stuck in that man and vice versa.
Everything has been ruined by casting such ‘najar’.
If a baby is very cute, the parents will put a little black
spot on his face or his forehead in order to avoid someone
casting an evil eye (najar) on the child. A person’s chit is likely
to get stuck if he is hungry for a baby, will it not? The black spot
on the face is to divert the chit’s focus away from the face.
Only the Gnani Purush is untouched by najar. Whenever
a person stares at the Gnani, the Gnani immediately sees the Self
