Attention, the chitta, the witness

The first sign of this awakening is that the person becomes thoughtless. This is the first stage in yoga—the time between two thoughts, called “vilamb” (the space between two thoughts). Then, your attention (Chitta) automatically goes inward. Now, your attention is focused on me. If you’re trying to focus your attention anywhere else, it’s difficult, but with awakening, your attention automatically goes inward.
