While concentration is intense, not only a brilliant light but also several other extraordinary objects arise and may continue if one inclines to one or other of them. If so inclination happens to arise, the meditator must notice it quickly. In some cases, even if there is no such inclination towards any object in particular, faint objects appear one after other like a train of railway carriages. The meditator should then respond to such visual images simply by "seeing, seeing", and each object will disappear. When the meditator's insight becomes weaker, the objects may become more distinct. Then each of the must be noticed until the whole train of objects finally disappears.
One must recognize the fact that cherishing an inclination towards such phenomena, like a brilliant light, etc., and being attached to them, is a wrong attitude. The correct response that is in conformity with the path of insight is to notice these objects mindfully and with detachment until they disappear.
