the Real Power of the Divine inherited by the man. Located at different parts of human frame in the Region of Heart, we need to pass through these entanglements on our Yatra to the Goal. The cleaning of these Brackets of Power is important to avoid abuse of Power acquired through yogic means. In our Raja Yoga, the Master ensures that such power is totally utilised for spiritual progress and move to higher Centres. Besides, the Master, through the most efficacious Line of Trainers, attends to the cleaning of Mal, Vikshep and Avaran. As their fore-most duty, they attend to the cleaning of the abhyasi under their training in order to develop in them the remembrance of God all through. Also, easy mental practices of cleaning (already discussed under the Chapter of Ways and Means) for about half an hour in the evening will help in the purging of the mind and make one receptive to the efficacious influence of our Great Master. Besides cleaning each and every centre, the cleaning of the Mind Lake (Chit Lake) itself is undertaken. The very bottom of this Chit Lake is cleansed until the waves emanating therefrom are stopped. While much is to be done in this respect by the abhyasi himself, who is prescribed a selected method, the Master’s support is always concurrent and in fact automatically becomes operative and strengthens the efforts of the Sadhaka in a natural manner. The cleaning of the System makes us lighter and lighter “Sookshma” day by day to secure Union with the Lightest. This simplified course of spiritual training brings the highest spiritual flight within the easy reach of every one whether man, women, young or old, Grihastha or Virakta (recluse).
Traditionally, Raja Yoga is defined as the cessation of the modifications of Chitta (Yogaschittavrtti Nirodhah). Chitta can be just taken as the Antahkarana, the conglomerate of three internal organs i.e. Buddhi (Intellect), Ahankar (Ego) and Manas (mind). The regulation of Chitta is therefore considered vital by all men of Sadhana. The right type of training should start with the directing of the tendencies of the mind towards God, as a preliminary step. The practices prescribed in various religions and other books have not helped most of us and we continue to be slaves to our mind and its wishes. The present state of grossness that shrouds our soul and mind preclude any success of our self-effort in this direction. It is ONLY the power of Yogic Transmission of Rev. Babuji Maharaj that can direct the tendencies of the mind towards Divinity in order to create a permanent and deep-rooted effect. The most significant aspect of Sri Ram Chandra’s Raja Yoga and its training is the support of the Master which He Himself called as the “Essence of Raja Yoga”. Sadhana has two aspects - one, the Abhyas and the other ‘ The Master’s support’. Unless we conduct and carry out abhyas in such a way as to attract the flow of the Divine Grace, sadhana will never be complete nor can we attain the Ultimate. A comprehensive understanding alone will lead to goal-clarity and build up our confidence in our capability to achieve the goal
