    The deeper your watchfulness becomes, the
    deeper your awareness becomes, and gaps
    start arising, intervals. One thought goes and
    another has not come, and there is a gap. One
    cloud has passed, another is coming and there
    is a gap.

    In those gaps, for the first time you will have
    glimpses of no-mind, you will have the taste of
    no-mind. Call it taste of Zen, or Tao, or Yoga. In
    those small intervals, suddenly the sky is clear
    and the sun is shining. Suddenly the world is full
    of mystery because all barriers are dropped.
    The screen on your eyes is no more there. You
    see clearly, you see penetratingly. The whole
    existence becomes transparent.

    In the beginning, these will be just rare
    moments, few and far in between. But they will
    give you glimpses of what samadhi is. Small
    pools of silence – they will come and they will
    disappear. But now you know that you are on
    the right track – you start watching again...
