“Some are deluded by their own thinking and some are illumined by Divine Grace”
The sadhaka is advised to individual cleaning everyday at prescribed time, giving certain suggestions to his mind; the methods prescribed also differ from each abhyasi depending on the advice of the trainer. This cleaning by the self effort of the abhyasi is totally different from the cleaning discussed in earlier Para. Sadhaka can get rid of superficial accumulated Mala and Vikshepa to some extent by his efforts, (which of course, he again accumulates as the day progresses on) but it is well neigh impossible to bring out deep seated samskaras embedded in the deep layers of subconscious state of mind, which the sadhaka may not be even aware of. This is the great benefit conferred on the abhyasi during individual sittings and satsangs.
Reverting back to earlier Para, the calmness that we experience during the meditational sessions, helps gradually in our expanding our consciousness to the extent of our capacity in the direction of progress on the path in Sadhana. A sadhaka is expected to retain this condition, even after meditation, for a larger period during the day and also to be in constant thought of Master.
As was stated earlier, ‘Pranahuti’ is a unique process which is the starting point for a sadhaka to become aware of the existence of the Divine within himself. Other salient features in this system are:-
A. To achieve the object of inculcating universal brotherhood willing advancement of all humanity on the path of realizing the Ultimate by developing true love and devotion, meditation is prescribed for all sadhakas, precisely at 9 p.m. every night.
A reference to Babuji’s reply to UNO in July 1957 would help proper appreciation of this method of meditation prevalent in this system of Sadhana.
