Many persons doing Meditation, for
material as well as spiritual goals, have reported to me that they were seeing
light within them during meditation and wanted me to comment on their achievement.
I thought an article on this phenomenon would be of some help to many people
who are doing or intending to do meditation.
First let me clarify to you that
meditation has nothing to do with our mind. Our mind does become calm and free
from agitating thoughts during meditation, but that is the result of
meditation, rather a by-product of meditation - it is not even the direct goal
of meditation. The target of meditation is always our Consciousness. When we
move our identity to our Consciousness from our mind, our mind is automatically
freed from its agitating thoughts.
On the other hand, if you try to control
your thoughts, either you’ll increase the intensity of your thoughts or you’ll
enter dreamy or dreamless sleep. That’s because when you try to control your
thoughts, you reinforce your identification with your mind that will fuel your
thoughts - You, that is, your Self is the fuel for your thought. Or you
identify yourself with your heart (more exactly, the causal body - what you perceive during dreamless deep sleep) which will result in sleep. If you fully identify yourself
with your heart, it will produce dreamless sleep. If you identify yourself with
your heart as well as mind, then you’ll enter dreamy sleep.
Worse, such identification of yourself
with your heart may manifest some nonsense faith of your heart during
meditation. Suppose you read in Scriptures that Self is a luminous Entity that
makes our mind to think. It must be interpreted that in the absence of our Self
our mind is merely insentient, and only in the proximity of our Self it can
become sentient and function to think its thoughts. In other words, luminosity
of Self is just a simile employed by the Scriptures to refer to the source of sentience.
Instead, suppose you assume that our Self is literally luminous. This belief of
your mind will slowly percolate down to your heart as the faith that your Self
is literal light. Now when you try to control your thoughts by switching your
identity to your heart, your faith will manifest itself as a beautiful light.
White light, color light or variable color
intensity light is a manifestation of some nonsense faith of your heart. It has
nothing to do with your Consciousness or Self or Lord. You are led astray. If
you think it is a big achievement of your meditation, not only you are mistaken
but you are increasing your grip on the crap your heart has manifested, forfeiting
any chance of getting back to the right track.
If you enjoy this crap of light during
meditation and teach your wonderful achievement to a few novices of meditation,
all your chances of quenching the light are completely sealed. Then you’ll be
left with your light for the balance of your life as you are moving away from
your Consciousness instead of moving towards your Consciousness. Without
entering your Consciousness, you can’t even think of realization of your Self
or Lord therein. If you are meditating for reduction of your negative energy,
you won’t succeed in your attempt as negative energy of your body, mind and
heart can be controlled only after entering the plane of your Consciousness.
So, if you see a luminous entity during
meditation, know that you are going astray. Take immediate steps to quench that
useless crap. How to make it disappear?
Stop thinking that appearance of light
is a big achievement or great milestone of your meditation efforts. It is not.
It is a useless crap standing between your mind and your Consciousness. It is not
just delaying but completely blocking your journey to your Consciousness from
your mind. So, it is not divine but devil. Leave it. Just ignore it. It will
disappear on its own.
