diverts the flow of the Divine Current towards his heart. By giving Ahuti of the very Prana, the spiritual fire is kindled in the heart of the seeker, who on the first day itself is connected to the Ultimate; “Yoga starts with Yoga itself” on our march to Reality.
In this Path, the Sadhana has two exclusive dimensions. One is the self-effort of the Sadhaka and second is the Master’s support which is sought and available from the beginning to the end of our Sadhana - till even after the attainment of our goal. The two-dimensional Sadhana has two-fold objectives covering both the spiritual and the Material fields. On one hand, we need to carry on worldly activities with an understanding of and total commitment to fraternity, moderation, service and sacrifice in the place and position of our Existence while on the other hand, the individual soul must realise itself and its Origin so as to accomplish ‘Complete Oneness’ which is its Destiny. Any separation of these two ‘life objectives’ will make the living distorted and one-sided upsetting its natural order and balance. The Raja Yoga of Sri Ram Chandra - the Path of Realisation is mainly and specially for those who are otherwise engaged in their worldly activities to make their lives harmonious and blend into cohesive entity - spiritually and materially.
This is how, Rev. Babuji says, the proper moulding and regulation of mind can be easily accomplished whereat control of senses and other mischievous and un-natural tendencies and activities of the mind becomes automatic and spontaneous ultimately leading to a state of settledness (Samadhi) to the Will of the Master without even the consciousness of it. Thus what takes years and years - nay; generation after generation - of effort is with the Grace and support of the Master achieved in this life itself. With diligent and perseverant Sadhana, one can attain it even within much shorter time.
Another benchmark of this Path of Raja Yoga of Rev. Babuji is the Cleaning Process. As already explained, we use our Thought-Power to cleanse all the grossness and other coverings - by sheer self-effort making one’s own will as a vehicle for further progress thereby making one fully and totally participative and involved in the effort to ameliorate one self into a good and real man and human being. This is invariably and positively supplemented and dynamically supported by the Master’s efforts to cleanse the Mal, Vikshep and Avaran of the mind and the soul. There is a similar assistance through the trainer as well on a continuing but selfless basis.
Another most refreshing and unfailing means of realisation in this System is the Prayer. The 9 P.M. prayer and the bed-time prayer are mechanisms that have been set into the Path of our effort to help us realise the objectives of fraternity and also correct ourselves by resolving to do what is natural and right. By pragmatic process of bed-time prayer, we have a mid-course or even
