unchanging meditation (ekagra dhyan) or not? When can it be said that dhyan has occurred? It is when there is only one thing in the dhyan (ekagra). Elsewhere, when people recite the Lord's name "Ram... Ram,' that is not dhyan.
Questioner: One process remains unfinished and I start a new one. I leave that unfinished and start a third one, so they all remain unfinished.
Dadashri: You should take them up again, and complete those processes gradually. It is not yet over, is it?
Samayik is Occurring Questioner: I can never do the samayik.
Dadashri: Then You should do a samayik for, 'Can't do it, can't do it.
The only thing the Lord asks is whether you were attentive (in dhyan) or inattentive (bedhyan). Yes, there was no inattentiveness (bedhyan). One was aware of 'I can't do it,' and the other person had the awareness (dhyan) of 'I can do it." There are no other issues. It is one and the same thing, whether You look at it this way or that way. If you were to turn and face this way, this would be your back; and if you were to turn around and face the other way, this would be your back.
So 'we' acknowledge this negative-wrong of 'I cannot do it. But I, as the Seer' do not have to give in to it, be moved by it. So all the obstacles or anything else would all go away. The obstacles will say, "We cannot conquer him. He is doing the contrary. If one direction or way is not working out for 'us, 'we' simply turn the other way. Then if we go forward in that direction, it will be contrary to this side, so then 'we' turn the other way. Direction will keep on changing, but it is all the same. But there, one should not become unaware (bedhyan). If the dhyan is on 'I can't do it...I can't do it...' that should be the only thing that prevails, then you should not be thinking of your home or anything else. Here Dadashri's hair looks all grey. For some people in their dhyan they look all black. There is no problem with that.
What is of significance to us all? It is whether there was
And this dhyan is called 'Dadayi' dhyan (meditation as awakened by Dadashri, the Gnani Purush, meditation as the Self). That is considered a wonder!
The one doing the meditating (dhyan) is 'Chandubhai, the one experiencing the dhyan is 'Chandubhai,' and the Knower (jaannaar) is the Self. So You know that the meditation is not occurring properly when you say 'I can't do it, I can't do it.' The Self of the other person knows that, 'it is occurring, it is occurring.
So all the paths are open. When Gnan is there, then all the paths are open; and when Gnan is not there, then only one path is open. Any other path will lead to confusion.
You 'Saw' the Seer in Samayik
You saw the Seer in the samayik. All the mistakes are washed off in the samayik! At the time of samayik, You are the absolute Self, and You are also seeing the Seer (jonaaro; awakened one, gnani bavo) within. Otherwise, a human being does not have the capacity to remember so much, does he? Here the Seer 'sees' every layer.
Did You see some of it within? Is that so? What are you saying! And what about you, what is it like for You within? Did you find some solution? You got the benefit of this samayik because this is the samayik of the Self. And what is vyavahar samayik? It is the samayik they do out there in the Kramic path); it is a samayik to still the mind. Even that is very good... if the mind does become still. And here, in Akram Vignan, there is no mention of the mind, is there? These are all samayiks of Puniyaa Shravak!
