**Gabbij Chitt**
(125) It loosens and weakens excessive attachment, it breaks it down. Just as someone who has drowned in the ocean comes up to the surface, they experience a clear difference between the state of being submerged and the state of being above, they feel relief, and the grip of their attachment to the submerged state loosens. Similarly, when a soul that is drowned in the ocean of samsara (worldly existence) attains Gabbij, it experiences a sense of relief, as if it has risen to a higher state, and its attachment to worldly things becomes weak, loose, and slack.
(2) This Gabbij Chitt is the first unpleasant sight of the nature (of the soul). When Gabbij is attained, the first unpleasant sight of nature - the web of Maya - the world - occurs. What seemed sweet before now begins to taste bitter, acrid, and unpleasant. Just as a man who has drowned in the sea has no awareness of his surroundings until he is rescued and comes to the surface, so too here, the soul, while submerged in the ocean of samsara, has no awareness of its situation. But when it attains Gabbij and rises slightly to the surface of the ocean of samsara, it begins to see the nature of the world - the bitter fruit of its own karma - and it is repelled by it. This sight causes it to fall into contemplation and wonder, "What is this strange and wonderful world?" Thus, its thinking faculty awakens.
(3) After Gabbij Chitt, it takes refuge in the means of knowing and understanding the world completely. Having drunk the salty water of the ocean of samsara with gusto, it now finds it bitter and poisonous. It wonders how this world can be sustained and seeks a solution. It delves into the depths of philosophical contemplation. It is inspired to see the deep cave of philosophy. It asks, "Who am I? Where did I come from? What is my true nature? What am I attached to? Should I keep it or abandon it?" By contemplating and analyzing these questions with a calm mind, it experiences the principles and essence of spiritual knowledge.
(4) Thus, the Gabbij Chitt becomes like a heavy weight against the mountain of attachment, aversion, and delusion, and it systematically breaks through and destroys this mountain of attachment. In this way, it attains Right Vision.
