and the chit. That struggle stops as soon as the intellect makes a decision between the two. If the intellect is set aside, the mind and the chit do not cause any obstructions.
From time immemorial, the chit has been in search of its home. It continues to wander. It sees all kinds of different things and consequently all kinds of knowledge-perception (gnandarshan) accumulate within. The tendencies of the chit (chitvrutis) collect whatever it sees, takes its stock, and when the time comes, it shows it as it is in the form of a scene. If the chit becomes absorbed in what it sees, it attracts atoms (of what it sees), these atoms accumulate and form complex tubers, from which the mind is formed. This mind projects a pamphlet when the moment is right, the chit will see the image or a picture and the intellect renders a decision.
that the steering wheel is in the hands of the driver and his job is to steer the car; only he drives the car. You can comprehend this obvious example of a car but how can you comprehend what is happening within? Here you cannot refrain from interfering and consequently confusion arises. There would be no confusion if you were to leave everything to the driver' even in matters within you have brought the internal driver with you from the past life.
The realization of 'I am pure Soul' is elemental intellect (tattva buddhi). Once this realization occurs, the feeling of 'I am the body' will disappear. The intellect that was focused towards the body now focuses towards the Self. Elemental intellect means the right (samyak) intellect. When the right knowledge begins, real intellect is born. Wrong (vipreet) intellect always prevails in the absence of right knowledge.
Chit: The Third Component of Antahkaran
Chit is the third component of the inner psychic organ. Its function is to wander and show images of things as they are. It can project scenes of places in America exactly the way they are, even while one is in India. The mind never leaves the body. It is the impure chit that leaves the body and wanders. Pure chit is the pure Soul (Shuddhatma).
Chit is Knowledge (Gnan) + Vision (darshan) Impure Chit is Impure knowledge + Impure vision Pure Chit is Pure Knowledge + Pure Vision
The mind shows a pamphlet and the chit shows a picture. These two do the work and the intellect makes the decision, the ego then endorses that decision and finally the action takes place. The chit visualizes a situation. Impure chit comprises of phases of impure knowledge and impure vision. Before the intellect renders a decision, there is a struggle between the mind
These tendencies of your chit that wander outside cease to do so once I draw them towards 'me' (the Self; the Gnan). The tendencies of your chit thus become bound and that is liberation
These impure tendencies (vrutties) of the chit have been wandering endlessly. When they keep going to a particular place and if you try to retract them, they will revolt and go to the same place again. The fact that these chitvrutis return to their own home, the Self, after Gnan is a wonder in itself. Wherever the chitvruti wanders, the body too will have to go there. In the kramik path of liberation one has to cross-endless hurdles of different phases of the mind and the chit before one reaches the ego, which still needs to be purified. But for all of you, I have made you leap over all these levels and placed you directly in your own abode, your pure Self.
The chit keeps wandering in search of its home, the Self. It seeks happiness. Wherever the chit becomes still, other parts of the inner instrument (antahkaran) become still also and that
