Stage chidakasha dharana
Look at the space in front of your closed eyes - chidakasha. Be relaxed; don't strain. Merely watch.
Be a witness to anything that may appear, any
visions or whatever.
Don't try to interpret or analyze.
Look into the cave of your mind.
Look deeply.
It looks very dark . . . oh, so dark . . . but look deeper.
You may not see anything, but don't worry, just continue your practice. Expect nothing, only watch. Be an observer.
After some time you may see colours, streaks of light, visions, strange forms, vivid memories and so on; however, more than likely you will continue to see only an empty screen. Whatever occurs, remain a disinterested witness.
Let things happen. Don't anticipate anything.
Look into the ether of your being.
Peer into the darkness as though you are trying to find something in a dark room.
Look at the totality of chidakasha; don't confine your attention to any one place . . .
Let your vision take in the full extent of chidakasha in the same way that you would take in the whole screen of a television or cinema.
Survey the whole screen of the mind. Observe . . . observe . . . and continue to observe.
You don't have to do anything, only watch. This is so simple, but can bring incredible experiences if you persist. So persevere, and find out the multi-dimensional activities of the mind. But don't expect . . . the less you expect, the more you will see.
Continue in this way for about 5 or 10 minutes; more if you have time to spare. Then proceed to stage 5.
