Constant Remembrance
Devotion is the basis of Constant Remembrance;
It makes our passage smooth;
Creates a Channel for the Godly Current to flow into the heart. - Rev. Babuji Maharaj
It has been our traditional understanding that a spiritual aspirant - nay; all embodied souls - should always be in the Consciousness of Divinity and this is the surest way of attaining Kaivalya or Liberation. It is right and is so when one’s thoughts are dwelling on the Omniscient and Omnipresent and our contact with the Origin is maintained in a stream of continuity, consistency and permanency. With the passage of Time and under the influence of un- regulated and indisciplined mind, this most potent method of meditation has been reduced to a mechanical and ritualistic practice. The names of selected Gods or a Mantra has come to be loudly uttered without making our minds really focussed on the Divinity and this has become an expression of tongue only. The mind in such a condition is never dedicated to the Reality in the real sense and at heart we are in fact far away from the idea of God. Instead of becoming lighter in mind and spirit, more grossness gets covered around the Self. Rev. Babuji says that mere consciousness of God cures many of the evils of the mind; thus we have to really become conscious of the Divine for most of the day and more importantly during all our worldly activities. We must feel ourselves connected with the Supreme Power every moment with an unbroken chain of Thought. This has two important effects on our Sadhana and life itself. Firstly, we treat all our work and actions to be part of our duty as a representative of the Divine - He being the real doer. All our actions are governed by service and sacrifice which are the chief instruments for the building of the temple of spirituality, with fraternal love being the fundamental basis. In such a state, whatever we do, we are always in the thought and mind-set of doing service to God only. Resultantly, we never develop any undue-attachment either to our actions or to those served by us. Thus, the most difficult preliminary condition of Vairagya or non-attachment for achieving which aspirants resort to untold mortification of mind and body, can be achieved in a matter of days under the system of Sri Ram Chandra’s Raja Yoga. We even do the undertaken-work to the best of our ability and utmost perfection, as one does not unduly come under any type of selfish motive or other pressures and manipulations. The formation of further Samskaras ceases and what we need to do is bring the existing samskaras to
