they are established, in those two, in some capacity or other. Because in Purusha and Prakriti, one is Mustab and the other is Manfi. Therefore in creation, in every place and in every thing, same thing appears. There is a need for thinking and contemplation. On the summit of these three is Budhi and below it is Ahankar and below it is the strength of Sankalp and Vikalp. Mind thinks and Ahankar strengthens it and Budhi makes it certain. Their work is done instantaneously in this way, so that it is difficult to show their stages separately. For example; body has a mosquito bite, flow of movement and experience, which are present every where in the shape of Karmendriyas and Gyanendriyas, have experienced it. The flow of nerves, which are every where, had a jerk immediately after the bite. The flow of experience, which is gyan shakti, has felt it. Mind thought about it with Sankalp and Vikalp, Ahankar has strengthend it and this thought of bite became firm and Budhi believed it. This is the sequence of knowledge. What ever is said till now was regarding the dealings below it. All this play has happened inside these three layers. The place of Atma is above the Budhi, which enlightens every thing. One flow of Budhi is down wards and this show is in its line/order. The other is upwards which is nearer to Atma and when Budhi gets an opportunity of getting the strengthening the relationship of this nearness, is called Anubhav Shakti. Its stage is above all. In the path of Sant, more importance is given to this Anubhav Shakti and it is considered as proof, reliable and trust worthy. Because usually there will be deceit in the lower layers. They are not trusted so much and for the same reason, all these things are made subtle to strengthen the Anubhav Shakti, in Surat Shabd Yog, so that the stages of inquiry are strengthened. Among the Sant, man is advised not to accept entirely any matter, as long as it is as per his Anubhav, despite coming from a reliable source. Knowledge of Atma swaroop or Zaat, which is the real aim of religion, is acquired with personal experience. There is no other way of acquiring It. The practice of Surat Shabd Yog is done with aim of increasing the Anubhav and to strengthen it, so that knowledge of Zaat is aquired by abhyasi, voluntarily and slowly he will understand by himself as to what is his Zaat. This knowledge is called Aaloom ka Maahasil, essence, quintessence of whole world. If the religion helps to acquire this knowledge, then it is proper other wise worthless.
