based on our knowledge, intelligence and even other Pramanas. This is to strengthen our will to follow a regular course of practice to such an extent that we not only realise the effectiveness of our sadhana through various higher spiritual conditions that accrue to us of which we become fully aware of intuitively; but also helps us in diligent and pragmatic sadhana. This singleness of orientation is called “supposition” which can be applied to any practice. So the confidence we initially have on the efficacy of the System of Babuji’s Raja Yoga and certainty of the Master’s support will enable us to realise the goal of life. More importantly, confidence in one’s capacity and ability to achieve the goal successfully is sine qua non to progress. Determination and iron will to carry on with sadhana despite difficulties and reverses will be essential elements of success. We should always have positive Sankalpa and right mental orientation until the goal is reached. Despondency and hesitation should never be allowed to creep in and thwart our spiritual Yatra. As the intensity of our sadhana grows and we discern the new vistas of higher consciousness, our confidence in the Master, in the System and on our own capability acquires newer, subtler and higher dimensions. Not only will this enhance the degree of our practice but accelerates even the pace of progress significantly. Such is the importance of self-confidence in achieving our goal.
Another essential characteristic in the making of the man following the path of spirituality is moderation. It is this sense of balancedness that builds the life really in tune with the Nature. Whenever this balance gets distorted, whenever this equilibrium gets disturbed and whenever this harmonious equanimity gets pulverised; there ensures Nature’s response to restore the Original and Normal state of life and environment. As of date, total permissiveness, complete promiscuousness and utter selfishness and greed have come to dominate our life patterns. Unless this trend is reversed and moderation in senses and faculties again becomes the corner stone of our living condition, chaos and disharmony will continue to eat into the very vitals of human society. Spiritually, realisation is not possible until this sense of moderation permeates all our attitudinal responses in the day-to-day worldly conduct specially with fellow-beings. Rev. Babuji says moderation is the characteristic of the Nature. Amassing of wealth usually at the cost of others and against the Laws of the Land, excessive indulgence utterly disproportionate to the general standard of living in the Nation as well as the world and un-natural accumulation and exploitation of material and even other natural resources through illegal and illegitimate means and processes are all part of our immoderate reflections, which have brought the social and spiritual living of people into a state of degradation and imbalance. If this situation is to be remedied, the principle of moderation will have to be
