22/ Meditation and Enlightenment : Chandr Prabh
If we remain with concentration of mind in our lonely moments, we would hear several surprising sounds and echoes, shadows and sub-shadows of unknown places would be felt to be moving off and on along our mental screen. The semblances of others' minds would be perceived as if emerging on our mental mirror factually, the viewing of divine things can be possible only when a person vanquishes the conscious mind and the eyes of the inanimate-mind open-up. Those who consider only external attainments their all, they deviate from the essential element, being allured by the mirages.
