same thing happens again and the vidhi will end in the morning.
If you capture the pure chit in this way, it will last till the morning.
‘Miracles’ of the chit
Questioner : I see a flash of light for a fraction of a
second when I am doing my prayers. Is this the light of the Self?
Dadashri : That flash of light you see is a sensory play;
it is a phenomenon of the chit. The chit becomes still when one’s
faith sets in it. The light of the Self is not something you can
imagine, even if you want to. When someone tells me, “I can see
Lord Mahavir,” I tell him, “What you are seeing is the idol that
you have seen before. What you are seeing is the scene, the
target; the object (drashya). What you need to do is to look for
the seer (drashta). Keep the vision (drashti) in the seer
(drashta) and keep the knowledge (gnan) in the knower
(gnata), then your work will be accomplished.”
Questioner : What is soundless sound (anahat naad)?
Dadashri : It is the concentration of the chit wherever
there is a pulsating sound within the body.
They do the same in kundalini yoga, but one cannot get
moksha by doing that. You will encounter so many such stations
on the way to moksha. But your work will be done when you
arrive at the final station. There is nothing but chit chamatkar in
the practice of kundalini yoga but it has nothing to do with the
Soul. The Jains say, “there is no liberation without the
knowledge of the Soul.’ The followers of the Vedanta too, say
the same thing. And anahat naad is a sound; it is the sound in
and of the body. There is no Soul in it!
Some say, “I can see Lord Krishna within”; that is chit
chamatkar, there is no Soul in that. The one seeing Krishna is the
Soul. Ultimately the drashti has to fall on the drashta, i.e. the
vision has to fall on the one seeing. Instead, people focus on
what is being seen. In anahat naad and other such practices, the
