If the abhyasi tries to meditate on any other part, since the preceptor is not given the permission normally to check the habits of the other Centres before checking up the mind, he does not get the advantage. Suppose the transmission is in the heart and you are concentrating on the Bhroomadhya, really you do not get the full effect of the transmission. You have to put in more effort to drag the force entering into heart to the Bhroomadhya. That effort need not be put, and it is a little more artificial. But if you can naturally get it when you got that point, when you have commenced the Yatra from the heart to the Bhroomadhya or above, automatically transmission also comes to that point. That is why we insist upon meditation on the heart because you get the cooperation of the Transmission of the Master, who always transmits to the heart. Why? The whole system of the mind and its habits are broken off. And its whole attitude is reversed. The wandering capacity or faculty is curtailed. More and more the mind begins to dwell within.
The second point which is also insisted upon and it is something which most of the Abhyasis find difficult, is that we are asking the Abhyasis to meditate on the God-Light in the heart. Now, is there a God-light in the heart already? yes. But it is only the lightening of the heart and you do not see it, for it is already covered by so much of dirt and so much of habit. You always see things from outside when reflected in the heart, unless you remove all the rubbish and clean the heart. That is why you are advised to clean your heart every day by the small practice of imagining that you are in the Ocean of the Bliss and the force of the waters of the Ocean of Bliss are flowing over through you, removing all the darkness and disease. And if this is done, and in addition, you also receive the transmission and meditate on the Godly Light in your heart, then, you can see the Light. But will it be a light in the sense in which you see the lights? No. The light in the heart is said to be of Dawn-colour, not bright light. Some people say God is "Soorya Koti Sama Prabha" ie. the light of God is hundreds of crores of Sun's light. It is not so. The Upanishads or the Veda says that it is a Light that is not visible to your senses or to your mind, and it may even be called that it is dark. So, you do not see this kind of light. It is of dawn colour, or a colourless thing. That is what you feel with your Godly-light within you. Some people, of course, describe it as "Vidyurlekha", that is lightening like. It will be seen for a moment, but you feel it once for all. Some people call it
