“All the visions of the world are embraced by the vision of the self, and it remains in its own nature. It is the life-giving force for all beings, and it nourishes all.” - Yo. Sajjay.
This Radudristi vision is of eight types. To explain it clearly, this analogy has been given, which makes the meaning of this vision easily understandable. These eight visions are (1) the vision of the fire of grass, (2) the vision of the fire of dung, (3) the vision of the fire of wood, (4) the vision of the light of a lamp, (5) the vision of the light of a gem, (6) the vision of the light of a star, (7) the vision of the light of the sun, and (8) the vision of the light of the moon. From the fire of grass to the light of the moon, there is an increasing intensity of light. Similarly, from the vision of a friend to the vision of the supreme, there is an increasing intensity of the light of knowledge. The author has explained how this analogy applies perfectly to each vision (see pp. 63-64). The great and powerful seer, Shrimad Rajchandraji, has compared this vision to a thermometer, which is also a very appropriate analogy. Just as a thermometer can measure the heat of the body, this vision can measure the spiritual progress of the soul, the state of the soul, and the level of the soul's qualities. The fourteen Gunasthanas are a well-known measure of the soul's development of qualities, and this development depends on the decrease of attachment. As the darkness of attachment decreases, the Gunasthanas increase. Similarly, this vision is also a measure of spiritual development, and it depends on the opening of the vision of knowledge. As the light of knowledge increases, the quality of the soul increases. These two are like two sides of the same coin. The decrease of attachment is the yardstick of the Gunasthanas, and the light of knowledge is the yardstick of the yogic vision. By observing the characteristics of this vision, a seeker can measure the state of their soul and receive inspiration to work for the development of qualities they have not yet attained and to maintain the qualities they have attained. Thus, this vision becomes a source of supreme nectar for the soul.
The first four visions correspond to the first Gunasthanaka, which is called "Nirupcharit." This Gunasthanaka is attained through the vision of the fire of grass, the vision of the fire of dung, the vision of the fire of wood, and the vision of the light of a lamp. Here...
