that the Divine or Guru is acting through him and as such all honours etc., shown to the Guru and God should be shown to him also. This is the reason why several advanced souls even thinking that they are being identical with the Guru and God proceeded to act as if they are God and Guru.Though their activities may be by all means useful and helpful to all people and even religious, yet there is the subtlest egoism and therefore obstructive to their higher approaches. It leads to failure and fall, descent rather than ascent. It may also be stated that those who have really crossed the pindapradesh or the Heart Region rarely come down. We must presume from this that those who experience the divine Guru or God governing their every act are experiencing the lower form of that subtlest egoism alone in their lower regions of the heart.
The subtlest forms of egoism are indeed wonderful wherein one experiences the calmness and plainness and simplicity in fullest measure. The transcendence of this region leads to Inactivity or Nothingness- condition. The condition in this region is subtler than the subtle. When this is crossed even this fades away and one experiences Nothingness and absence of all activity except the invisible motion about the Centre spreading rings of splendour.
The Region of the Mind is also the region of Truth. All thinkers from the age of the Veda have claimed that there is nothing higher than truth: satyan nasti paro dharmah. Truth (satya) is the highest which one has to know. Of course, they have spoken of Reality as satyasya satyam, truth of truth. Philosophers are those who seek truth. Indian thought has spoken of the Ultimate Reality as sat-cit-ananda, truth (existence), intelligence and delight. It has also held this to be the highest description of the Absolute or Brahman. But mystics have asked the question as to what existence and consciousness (intelligence) and delight are.
Existence (sat) is known only when one experiences being; and non-being is experienced as lack of that being. The relative being and non-being are thus conditioned by our subject-object experience. That which is beyond the relative beings and non-beings is incapable of being described as being or non-being. So, too, our consciousness is of the objective world and of our mental states. We are conscious only when we respond to situations or can.
