will be no reaction even though there may be seeing, enjoying, touching. That act towards which there is no reaction in the inner consciousness does not lead to bondage.
Attainment of trance implies freedom from reaction. Those who adopt desire-oriented or despise-oriented reactionary tendency towards wealth-land etc., get entangled/suffer.
To act is movement, but to react is to stumble. His state is like that water which is destined to descend downwards. I would ask to ride, but to ride upwards. Journey upwards, towards Gangotri. The symbol of ascent is light. Light has its birth in the vacuum and culminates in the vastness. Light always strives to touch heights, and water, despite being raised higher, must fall flat. Ascending is the characteristic of light and stumbling down is the characteristic of water. Consciousness is but a form of light. Don't consider it to be that water which descends from the summit towards the ground root. Flowing is akin to death. He has embraced the state of being lifeless. The affability/liveliness of life is only in this that we should learn to swim, not to flow. He, who flows in water, is helpless. Last rites of the strength of his arm has been performed.
A friend 'Sadhaka' is sitting in gay abandon on the summit under a tree. We may say he has taken a seat, but he is seated inside himself. While seated inside he is surveying himself. Rotation on the surface of 'prajna' (super consciousness) has commenced, similar to the rounds made around a temple. But his feet are not the harbinger of 'charaiveti-charaiveti'. Some scenes spontaneously come in his closed eyes, as if some stranger is taking birth from the world under the earth. He is after all a seer; the scenes which come and go are just like the gush of wind passing by his side.
FIRST SCENE
A pregnant woman is going towards a hospital. In the midway she is attacked by the pangs of delivery-pain. The newly-born child begins to cry. After all, all come to the world crying. The family members arrive and take the mother and the child with them.
