Introduction to the Basic Writings of Sri Ramchandra
of spiritual life. As for the seat (asana) and breath- control (pranayama) they are found to be naturally following from the intensity of one’s meditation which brings these about in a satisfactory way. Physical health is something that follows from spiritual health, unlike what materialists would like to maintain that a sound mind can only be in a sound body which every one knows is a materialist doctrine.
Supporting the goal in one’s mind is dharana whereas dhyana is basic to all Yogic practice of spiritual union with the Ultimate Yoga as control of mental modifications thus is a consequence of Divine descent or introduction of Prana into the heart by the Guru. Once this is grasped Shri Ram Chandra shows how the process leads to the Ultimate union in the shortest possible time.Yoga is really the method of swiftest self-evolution to the Divine nature as contrasted with the biological evolution that has been taking place through millions of years.
Pranahuti or the introduction of the Divine Life - principle of the nature of Divine superfine superconscious thought is therefore the Guru’s work and unless one does it or can do it ably he cannot be a Guru of Yoga. It is the introduction of this ‘breath’ or life spiritual that awakens, illumines and leads the seeker to aspire, persevere and move upward to the Centre through all the several rings of ignorance, illusion and egoism and splendour. Without it Yoga is incomplete or rather has no capacity to start at all.
