Sat1176 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Welcome to the forum ji. Your experience is sign of progress and positive but you need to cautious when it comes to seeing colours. Have a read of the following post. The feeling of heaviness is a sign of your surti heading inwards or upwards. As this happens one begins to see certain colours as the mind tries to cross the subtle 5 elements. I was told to avoid concentrating on the colours to stop myself entering the world of illusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amansingh1234 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thx Sat1176 for replying I shared my same experience with friends who got me on this path of journey and none of them had this same issue and read many threads on this site and they were similar to what they told me and mine was very different so I was bit worried and my other question is I always recited mool mantra and just recently started doing waheguru jaap is that has anything to do with it, bit concerned if am on right track as I live in very remote town in Canada where nearest city is 2 hrs so don't really have much help to sit down n have Gurmukhs sangat I really appreciate this site and your input thx again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat1176 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Seeing lights has nothing to do with the mantra but more to do with how still your mind is becoming. In my opinion doing the gurmantar would lead to more stillness as you don't have to worry about which word to recite next. You just focus on the sound of a single word and are able to bring the mind to more focused dhyan state more easily. Your encounter is perfectly normal. If you find the colour of light more distracting and are unable to retain focus on the sound of the mantar then I would open my eyes for a little while and then start again. That is what I was advised to do when I started seeing green. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the forum Singh saab. Seeing colors is normal in the path of Spirituality. Gyani Thakur Singh jee has talked about this in his katha. There was a Singh, who started seeing red and green colors while reading Gurbani from Pothi saab. The colors will change too depending upon your avastha. Just keep thanking Sri Satguru jee for each step of advancement towards your ultimate goal. The below thread might be related to your experience. Please do listen.
