Tradition has it that matter consists of three gunas or qualities: Sattvic, Rajasic and Tamasic; Balanced, active or stupor are the three states of matter of any kind. Stupor being far removed from the nature of thought, active being restless and thus relatively nearer and balance closer by its very nature of settledness, distracts, attracts and absorbs the attention of mind during sadhana respectively.
Thus Revered Babuji gives the profound thought of Master as the goal of human life to be the one single basic idea for contemplation which by the nature of mind is something that would be accepted and absorbed for sadhana. It is not any syllable or mantra or any other idea of lotus etc. that is suggested because they are likely to be rejected by the mind as extraneous to its very nature. This master that is suggested is none other than the Divine itself and should not be confused with the Gurus of the order.
