Sajaj is That which is natural and easy and effortless. The things which are experienced are experienced by the individual identity which views itself as separate from the Supreme Identity. In fact, they are the same. Upanishads say that as long as one sees the " other " there is fear. Fear is an absolutely normal feeling in life and can happen even in deep meditation or in the not yet fully ripe mind approaching the Self. Fear stems from perceived loss or potential loss of what someone possesses. Persons/Yogis can even feel sheer terror at the feeling that everything will be lost in merging into the Self. There is no antidote to that other than to be natural. Absolutely natural without any burdens. Reflective, aware, and in the knowledge of grace and with faith without judging, the mind becomes peaceful and clear.
