technique of destruction or annihilation of cittavrttis is also practised by the Zen Buddhists of Japan. All these require effortful meditation and in fact for them there can be no meditation without conscious effort even in relaxation.
In the Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga this is achieved effort-lessly by the influx of the transmissional force of the Supreme Master which neutralises the entire incoming and arising vrttis. Therefore, even though they seem to be coming into oneself, they no longer disturb the meditation on the Supreme. One feels a growing calm and that is the essence of detachment from them. Once this detachment from these vrttis occurs there is then a slow abolition of their occurrence. Automatically points A and B get cleaned and become free from any possibility of being made the seats of lower thoughts. The principle of substitution of the higher in the place of the lower or perverse modifications stated in the Yoga Sutras (Vitarkabhavane pratipaksa-bhavanam) is masterfully adapted to this new technique of purification of the thoughts. After this practice, meditation becomes naturally purified. Concentration becomes naturally established.
Shri Ram Chandraji has already given the method of purification by those who have surrendered to the Master and can take him as the object of meditation. The Master is described as the Ocean of Bliss. Bliss of course means the Ultimate though we go beyond bliss itself to the state that makes bliss possible. We are also asked to think that we are seated in this Ocean and that the waves of the Ocean which have the property of removing all dirt and disease are flowing through us, having this unique quality even like the X-rays which can pass through us without being obstructed by any element. Thus the dirt and diseases are removed.
Dirt and diseases which are the causes of our misery or non-bliss, are of three kinds, physical, vital and mental, and they come from the outer world or external world and also from higher powers or forces which are cosmic. Whatever they are, they all get removed by this incoming descent or interpenetrating flow of the Waves of Bliss Ocean of the Master. This suddhi or purification leads to the clear and calm dhyana, meditation-cum- concentration.
