But there’s a fourth way where you can say it is in the karana, karana state. That’s a higher state where a realised soul can feel it, who is born as a realised soul can feel it. And in that state they just know like a computer. They don’t bother as to which is the one, and they don’t put hands or anything, they just feel it, it is so. As you have seen in my granddaughter’s case, she just knows what is what. Just see, you ask her, she’ll immediately say, “This is this, this is this,” – like that. It comes plain to them, absolutely -“This is this.” Now you may say that how do they know? But this procedure becomes such a compact thing – it just happens to you. Like [if] you pin prick me here and immediately the hand goes back. The whole reflex action is so quick that we can say there’s no procedure as such but it’s just a reflex action. In the same way it acts as a reflex action, so that you don’t have to worry about the purpose of it.
That is the state where we say the karana state is reached. And the mahakarana state. Now this is the third stage is it? And even in the karana stage there are three stages into which one feels it. Now that is, I would say that, I need not explain because that’s beyond you people. But if you are born realised you will understand that imbalance in a personality of the three gunas is immediately perceived by a born realised person – immediately perceived! He can see through. That’s the wisdom he has gained in his previous lives and previous births and immediately they can see the imbalance that comes in. And whatever they say is so wise and they understand because they can see the imbalance of these three gunas.
