Chit Akash Contact Failure
Chit Akash contact failure is due to being isolated while being within the chit akash itself. Imagine a bird embryo within its shell. It is within the world but it has no way of experiencing the world directly except through warmth or cool temperatures which are outside its shell and which causes conduction of temperature variations which the shell is sensitive to.
How will that embryo ever realize the environment which is outside its shell?
If someone taps on the shell of its egg, then the embryo will hear something but it will be at a loss of how to interpret the meaning of the taps.
What should it do to make contact with the outside environment while it is within the shell?
The situation of the atma core-self is nicely described by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita verses (my English translation):
धूमेनाव्रियते वह्निर्
यथादर्शो मलेन च ।
यथोल्बेनावृतो गर्भस्
तथा तेनेदमावृतम् ॥३.३८॥
dhūmenāvriyate vahnir
yathādarśo malena ca
yatholbenāvṛto garbhas
tathā tenedamāvṛtam (3.38)
dhūmenāvriyate = dhūmena — by smoke + āvriyate — is obscured; vahnir = vahniḥ — the sacrificial fire; yathā — similarly; 'darśo = ādarśaḥ — mirror; malena — with dust; ca — and; yatholbenāvṛto = yatholbenāvṛtaḥ = yatho (yatha) — similarly + ulbena — by skin + āvṛtaḥ — is covered; garbhaḥ — embryo; tathā — so; tenedam = tena — by this + idam — this; āvṛtam — is blocked
As the sacrificial fire is obscured by smoke, and similarly as a mirror is shrouded by dust or as an embryo is covered by skin, so a man's insight is blocked by the passionate energy. (Bhagavad Gita 3.38)
आवृतं ज्ञानमेतेन
ज्ञानिनो नित्यवैरिणा ।
कामरूपेण कौन्तेय
दुष्पूरेणानलेन च ॥३.३९॥
āvṛtaṁ jñānametena
jñānino nityavairiṇā
kāmarūpeṇa kaunteya
duṣpūreṇānalena ca (3.39)
āvṛtam — is adjusted; jñānam — discernment; etena — by this; jñānino = jñāninaḥ — educated people; nityavairiṇā = nitya — eternal + vairiṇā — by the enemy; kāmarūpeṇa = kāma — yearning for various things + rūpeṇa — by the sense or form of; kaunteya — son of Kuntī; duṣpūreṇānalena = duspūreṇa — is hard to satisfy + analena — by fire; ca — and
The discernment of educated people is adjusted by their eternal enemy which is the sense of yearning for various things. O son of Kuntī, the lusty power, is as hard to satisfy as it is to keep a fire burning. (Bhagavad Gita 3.39)
~~~~~~~
Kamarupa, the desire for various things surrounds the core-self on all sides as a shrouding opaque energy. It keeps the self from accessing the chit akash. Every so often as if to tease the yogi, this shrouding energy is parted. Then the yogi gets the experience of being in the chit akash without being in the shell of subtle desire.
Naad sound is like when the embryo in the shell begins to hear the murmur sound which results because the egg is in that other environment which the embryo cannot directly access because of the shell. By listening acutely to that sound which reverberates within the shell, the embryo can get some clues about the environment which the egg resides it.
Sometimes light from that other environment penetrates the shell and is seen by the embryo as spot light or as shattered light or as a flash which occurs suddenly. This gives the embryo some idea that there is light in that other environment outside the shell.
