entire Vairagya. The characteristic of Peace has nothing to do with the Ultimate Bliss. It is peace that is gained by us when we are able to develop detachment or due attachment. Restlessness will be there and at the same time settled condition which we may experience as peace of a kind is also there. In spiritual life we understand many types of peace, this is the base of all. This settledness in the awareness and need to detach ourselves from the worldly and transient, lies the foundations of the spiritual life. Naturally the concepts of Divine presence and Peace (as is explained in books) has no relevance here. The experience of seeing colours (in this case yellow) is only an indication of the arousal of this knot. That it is not bright or tainted with red or orange does not matter. The settledness is experienced as calmness. This calmness has nothing to do with Nothingness as such. The idea of merging in the condition of the knot in the Real and hence to the Ultimate is not clear to me. The knot comes to its original condition. Here original condition of the knot alone is in question and it has nothing to do with the Ultimate.
