track of, and count the places where the chit wanders. Samayik of forty-eight minutes means a change in the wandering of the chit. The chit can begin to be contained starting from eight minutes to forty-eight minutes. It begins to be contained (stops wandering) after eight minutes. When you make ice-cream, the milk (anant chit) gels (anek chit) first then the ice-cream begins to form lek chit). Amidst all this when the 'Dada' comes in the dream, what does it mean? One has attained the 'reel (film)' of the chit in his hands. This is the experience of the Self. Then one's work is done. This is the darshan of 'Dada'.
Pure chit : Impure chit Questioner: How can one make the chit stay at home and not wander out?
Dadashri : The chit will only come to its natural home, the Self, when it becomes pure. What is the first impurity of the chit? 'I am Chandulal', 'I am young. I am her husband' etc. are all impurities of the chit. From this one can realize that the parmanus of the chit are scattered everywhere and today people's chil have even become double-chit (be-chit). Those with double chit will see everything double. One man told me, "I am going away to purify my chit. "If you go to a silversmith, he can do silver plating for you. But if you want to purify your chit and you go to someone with be-chit, he will turn your chit into be-chit too! Instead, it is better you leave things the way they are. Then the one with double chit will say, "I can see two oil lamps (where there is one)!" Arey! You must have achieved salvation! How can you see two when there is only one?
The best solution for purifying chit is direct satsang of Dada. Chit is constantly purified here. It is not appropriate, when Dada is sitting here and you try to purify your chit at your home.
Why is the impure chit impure? It is because it cannot see
the Self, it can only see the non-self, whereas the pure chit can see both the Self and the non-self.
Questioner: If the mind tells the chit not to wander, will it? Is the mind superior to chit?
Dadashri : No, all are independent. There are no thoughts in chit and the chit is not in thoughts. Man will die if the mind leaves the body. It is the chit that wanders off.
Questioner: Why does the chit wander?
Dadashri : The chit wanders because it is searching for happiness. The senses are under the influence of the mind. The word 'chetan' comes from the word 'chit'. Chit means gnan and darshan i.e. knowledge and vision respectively. You are sitting in satsang here, and a blurry vision of the table in your office is called darshan and a clear vision of that table is called gnan. The chit goes out there and sees it. When you can see things in general, the chit is in the form of darshan and when you see things in details, the chit is in the form of gnan.
You become what you contemplate on. If a college graduate spends all his time tending to bullocks in the farm, he will become like one because the bullocks become the subject of his contemplation (niddidhyasan). Therefore, if you contemplate on whatever you encounter, you will become like the object of your contemplation.
The chit is a fraction of chaitanya (pure consciousness). The chaitanya comprises of chit.
Only the chit becomes stuck Questioner: Is the chit more powerful than the mind?
Dadashri : The mind cannot leave the body. The chit can go out side and it also works within the body. If your shoulder hurts, it will keep going there; it will go wherever you want to
