How you choose your Master is very important, because once you choose, no question of looking back. When you are with a Master, how can you find out if he is a completely enlightened being, or he only has a few powers?
These major doubts that many seekers have can be clarified when you understand how the energy experience influences your three states – waking, dream and sleeping. This will really help you in your choosing. When you have any energy experience from a Master, if you have a complete conscious sleep that night, you can be sure you had energy darshan, deeksha, from a person who is sleeping consciously. It means your Master is the right person and you are having the right experience. Conscious sleep means, you wouldn’t have dreamed, you wouldn’t have slept, but the next morning you will not feel tired! You were completely aware the whole night, but there was no thought, no dream, and no tiredness the next morning. You are fresh and alive. If you had this experience of conscious sleeping, you can be sure you had darshan energy from a person who is sleeping consciously. On the other hand, if you have received the energy only from a psychic person or black magician, that night your sleep will be very tense, loaded, heavy. The next morning, you will feel as if your whole body has been beaten! Please understand, I am not saying a normal body pain. When you work out too much, you will have body pain, when you do too much yoga, you will have body pain; that is different. This pain will be completely
different, as if you never slept. You will feel a deep dissatisfaction that you never slept. Something is going on. You are not comfortable, not settled. If this happens, it means that neither is the person spiritual, nor are you having a spiritual experience. These are some of the clear scales to measure the person you are going to choose as your Master.
And the next is conscious dreaming, or dreaming consciousness. After energy darshan, that night, even if you have one or two dreams, you will be just aware that dreams are moving. Like a clean conscious light,
the dreams are moving - like a line, like a picture. Like scenes on a screen in front of a projector, the dreams will be moving on the screen of your consciousness. If you are consciously dreaming, you received darshan from a person who is consciously dreaming. Not only that, when you have energy transmission, deeksha,
your waking consciousness will be also awakened. Means, when you wake up the next morning, the whole world will look deeper, green will look greener, rose will look more rosy and colors will look richer; everything will appear very pure, as if completely washed, fresh. If you experience conscious waking, it means you have received darshan from a person who is in waking consciousness.
And the fourth scale to measure is this: just by sitting in his presence, you will have pure awareness consciously. You know you are in pure awareness; you are in pure awareness. If you are having the conscious awareness experience, it means that he is in the space of conscious experience. Sitting with conscious awareness in the presence of such a person is what I call the experience of Upanishad.

Whenever a sincere seeker melts down in the deep trust and relaxes, the transmission of the lamp happens automatically, whether you are sitting physically with me or not. This is the power of Satsang.
