'Why is the impure chit, impure? It is so because it can not 'visualize the Self, it can visualize only that which is non-self, whereas the pure chit can visualize both, the Self and the non
Dadashri Those who eat without the presence of their chit, suffer from diseases like heart failure, blood pressure etc. There will be no diseases if one can keep the chit present while eating.
Anahat Naad (the original sound). Kundalini etc, are all manifestations and appearances in the chit and are all physical
Some people say, "I see Lord Krishna inside me." This is not the Self, it is the phenomenon of the chit. The one that sees Krishna is the Self. In the end, the vision is to be focused on the Seer (the Self). People however; put their vision (drashti) in the object being seen.
Dadashri
Minor religious vows and major religious vows (anuvrat and mahavrat respectively) are not vows of renouncing (tyaga) but vows that are inherent in one's conduct. There is a vast difference between renunciation and natural conduct. That which is intrinsic in one's conduct is called the vow. This means that one does not even remember what one has renounced that is called natural renunciation. The one who gives up smoking cigarettes naturally, does not even remember it and the one who gives it up through the exercise of the ego will keep remembering 'I gave up smoking'!
The one who despite being immersed in the ocean of acquisitiveness (parigraha), is not touched by even a single drop of it is the true aparigrahi (one with non-acquisitiveness)! How can one, who is drowning even in a puddle of acquisitiveness, be called an aparigrahi? Only the Gnani Purush can be a real
aparigrahi!
The "Krishna' that is 'seen' is a scene, and the one who sees the scene is the 'seer': the Soul. The seer indeed is Krishna himself?
I am Chandulal' is the original ego. When this belief goes, one attains the egoless state. Then, what remains is the discharge ego; the dramatic ego. There are two types of discharge egos, one is attractive and the other is ugly. The ego has ruined everything, it does not allow one to taste the bliss of the Self. There can be only one remedy to dissolve this ego and that is to surrender at the feet of the Gnani Purush!
Who can truly understand and know Yogeshwar Krishna? Only the Gnani Purush: the One who Himself has become 'that' form (Yogeshwar - the one who has attained the final union; the ultimate Self), can properly know Yogeshwar Krishna and can explain exactly what He meant to say. This is because one Gnani can never be different from another Gnani; they are one from the real perspective.
At the end of all the four Vedas (Hindu scriptures), what do the Vedas themselves say? They say, "This is not that... this is not that the Soul that you are searching is not here!" After one reads and grasps the four Vedas, what is the end result? Neti... Neti' (not this...not this). How can the Soul be contained in a book? The Gnani Purush can make us experience the Soul, our real Self; a Self that is such, that it is not describable, not speak-able, not approachable. The Gnani Purush does this with sangnya i.e. an association with Gnan. The Gnani Purush can show us, 'This is that within one hour!
There are four inner components of the antah-karan (the inner working machinery) and these are the mind, intellect, chit and ego. They function like the parliament. The mind shows pamphlets', the chit sees the scenes, the intellect will side with one of the two and render a decision - just like the prime minister does, and the ego, like the president puts its signature and then the act takes place.
