Sage Dattatreya said,
- Instantaneously a blank superseded. He (Hemachuda), at the same time, decided that it was the Self, so became very happy and once again he began to meditate. "I will do it again," he said and plunged within.
- The restlessness of the mind being thus resolutely checked, he saw in an instant a blazing light with no circumference.
- Regaining human consciousness, he began to wonder how this could happen: "There is no constancy in the experience. The Self cannot be more than one. I will repeat and see," he said and dived again. This time he fell into a long sleep and dreamt wonderful dreams. On waking up, he began to think furiously:
- "How is it that I was overpowered by sleep and started to dream? The darkness and light which I saw before must also be in the nature of dreams. Dreams are mental imagery, so how shall I overcome them? I shall again repress my thoughts and see.", he said, and plunged within.
- His mind was still for a time. He was sunk, as it were, in an ocean of bliss.
