Remembrance of everything should merge into the Remembrance of One – the Ultimate
away from sight, even its reflection melting away as matter has capacity to see matter alone. Finer power is required to see beyond matter, which goes on till the very power of seeing becomes extinct. Still, something remaining beyond coming in the form of consciousness, which too becomes extinct and fading even the feeling of existence. It is difficult to understand the condition unless one is submerged in that state. “Continued practice of doing everything with our thought resting all the while on the real point which forms the very basis of existence can be a means of achievement of this state. This pointed attention upon the real may be taken as the essence of the prayer.” This is the starting point for removal of
superfluities and it is a state of higher consciousness.
Remembrance is given prominence in the topic of today’s seminar. Babuji opines that Realization is very easy provided the aspirant has a deep impression of it upon his heart. In His view “Taking in of this impression means imbibing the very thing that one aspires for. In that case the Divine thought will continuously remain alive in his heart, and his attention will remain drawn towards it all the while. This is what Constant Remembrance exactly means.” Deep thought is a means of tearing off more coverings (of subtler nature) bringing the original to view for being blessed with Divine grace.
When the ultimate state of being is in view constant looking at it results in state-less-ness, the basic property of the Real, giving a feeling of sameness. Charged with this effect and idea of His greatness in the background, nothing but remembrance alone remains then. It begins to appear at this stage that He Himself is absorbed in our remembrance. Feeling of this condition, as Saint Kabirdas described is “My mind can be at rest only when the Lord gets busy with the remembrance of me.”
