The effulgence of ten thousand suns is present in the sudarshan chakra. But in comparison to the darkness of māyā, it is merely like a lighted wick. A droplet of it (darkness) has been put in the jiva – that is the state of deep sleep.1 To conquer it Maharaj has incarnated. Footnotes: 1. 1. The meaning of this phrase is: during the period of creation, God created the sthul and sukshma bodies from the kāran body. He also gave them the association of the three states: wakeful, dream, and deep sleep (sushupti). The tamogun predominates in the sushupti state and is closely associated with the kāran body. Therefore, Swami likens this state (i.e. the kāran body) with the darkness of māyā.
