‘We are and we are not’as also ‘we are not and we are’
Modern psychology is stumbling on the truth that happiness is possible only when you transcend the self. Many workers in the field have discovered that people are happy in the process of doing the activity rather than after the gaining of the objective. They have studied sportspersons, artists , musicians, successful managers, who when they are passionately involved in their work and when it is challenging they become so involved that they are oblivious of their surroundings and generally what is happening around them, they forget to take food and go to sleep till the creative work is over, afterwards they are not bothered about the result. They find the satisfaction in getting involved to the point of forgetting the self and this is the flow. But when there is no challenge or passion or the task is too demanding this flow is missing and life does not give joy.
By repeatedly getting into the Flow they find joy and meaning in their lives. But these happy people who get into the flow and transcend self are in a minority and these moments are interspersed occasionally here and there in the canvas of life.
Blessed and fortunate are the practicants of Natural Path for whom the sacred, profound and ennobling experience of the company of Divine is had repeatedly through the process of pranahuti.. Master’s exhortation for all of us is to own up the condition and gradually move into the condition where the cry of the ego is inaudible.
Psychologists have not yet come across Master’s discoveries in the field of psychology and the felicity with which He transports people into a consciousness devoid of ego, and if they know about this process of pranahuti they will be gaping in wonder.
