UNDERSTANDING SAMAYIK

complex 'thing' (tuber) is made to come in front of the Self. This is considered the samayik of the Self. The non-Self complex (pudgal) has nothing to do with it. There is no exchange between the pudgal and the Self. This samayik is such that it works by being the Gnata (Knower) of the pudgal.
'You' have not 'seen' anything like that before, have You? Questioner: No.
Dadashri: It is absolutely new. It may not work properly for someone in the beginning, but this is the best solution. How far could You 'see'?
Questioner: From the time when I was young, until now.
Dadashri: Everything can be 'seen' just like seeing photographs. You will even 'see' where you pinched someone or bit someone.
Dadashri addressing a seeker: You should not worry too much if you did not see anything. You will not see anything yet because 'I' have not given you that vision (drashti) yet. You will see all that after 'T' give you such a vision. Where will you sit when everyone is doing samayik? Where could you have gone when they were all doing samayik?
Seeker: I can try to see.
Dadashri: Yes, for sure, otherwise you will feel, 'Why has Dada put me in this jungle?'
Different Kinds of Experiences in Samayik
Dadashri: Is this your first samayik?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: Now, no one else (non-mahatma), no saint, monk or ascetic can do such a samayik.
Questioner: This samayik that was done today is the

Pratikraman
most powerful technique.
Dadashri: This is not a samayik; this is 'our' discovery. Samayik means to be in equanimity. It is to not allow attachmentabhorrence (raag-dwesh) to occur. You experience that all day anyway, do You not? You are in samayik the whole day. You do not experience any attachment-abhorrence and, therefore, your whole day, your days and days that unfold, are in samayik.
And when You went deep within to 'see,' at that time what did the Self become! How much energy it has! During that time, You were not 'Chandubhai,' You were not anyone's husband, You were nothing to anyone; that is why You could 'see' all that. Otherwise, what is the one who has become a husband, the 'blind' (ignorant) one, going to see? That will require the full light of the Self.
You will not think of a single such phase if you try to recall it from the memory, and yet look at all the phases You 'saw'! Otherwise, memory cannot work that fast. This samayik will continue to show You everything that occurred when you were young, when you were growing; it will continue to showing You everything.
Now that which is 'seen' is different for everyone. Some can 'see' it very clearly, some 'see' it through a veil; there is a difference in what everyone 'sees' and with what clarity it is *seen.'
Questioner: The 'film' came to an end within fifteen to twenty minutes into the samayik.
Dadashri: Yes, it will end.
Questioner: What should I do then?
Dadashri: Then remain still as You are; there is nothing wrong with that. Or else You may switch the upayog on to something else.
