Because of the subtle nature of darshan and spiritual transmission you might not always recognize that it’s happening. It may just fall on you silently. Yet later on, at a time perhaps, when you are not suspecting, the presence of that consciousness will make itself known to you. You’ll realize that your life has been touched by something deep and that you are different. You are something entirely different. You begin to intuit that liberation is occurring. The “me” is being transformed or dissolved. You can say it’s being transformed into Being or you can say it’s just being dissolved or lightened. There are many descriptions we can use but they all point to the same thing, that fundamentally at the very core of all your perception, there is a felt sensation of identity and it is deep in that region where awakening happens. That’s the place of consciousness.
