UNDERSTANDING SAMAYIK
587
Questioner: I did not quite understand what You just
said about, ‘seeing’ the Seer in the samayik?
Dadashri: Besides the Self, even the intellect (buddhi)
has its own energy (shakti) and that is why it is able to see
everything on the outside; it can see all worldly things. And ‘it’
(pragnya) ‘sees’ all these mistakes. And so this ‘knowing’
(janavani) energy is of the Self.
The Self is swa-par prakashak (that which illuminates the
Self and the non-Self). So it can ‘see’ both.
Questioner: But you said that ‘it’ ‘sees’ the Seer.
Dadashri: Yes, there, it is actually the absolute Self that
is ‘involved.’ That is why ‘we’ made the distinction. It is verily
the swa-par prakashak (the awakened Self, the gnani bavo,
the one who attained the Gnan) who is working there. And that
is why You have the assurance that there is the swa-par
prakashak (awakened one within), and that is the entity doing
the work; this You have ‘seen.’ Hence You have ‘seen’ the Seer
(the swa-par prakashak). There is no other study for the Seer
other than to ‘see.’ Now here ‘we’ are convinced about who
did the ‘seeing.’ The answer is the Seer. That is why ‘we’ say,
‘I’ ‘saw’ the Seer.
Questioner: You are in samayik twenty-four hours, are
You not?
Dadashri: Yes, the samayik is always there. Samayik is
a natural attribute, is it not? That is because the Self is sam, and
it verily is samayik. When the self comes into the Self (swabhav),
it is a state of samayik. But the Gnani Purush is beyond samayik.
He has many other attributes that are manifest. He has many
natural attributes.
The Self is Samayik
You are not the doer of the samayik; You are not the
