 I may not call it knowledge at all That is why our people do not call it 'Jnana'. They call it 'Anubhava' or 'Sakshathkara'.
Now, Master says he does not know how people think that it is only possible for those who go into the forest to realize God. He says it is not necessary at all. Why? Those are necessary for the sake of the sense organs. Why do you have to go to the forest or close the doors or live in a cave? It is because you are afraid of your sense organs. You are afraid, in fact of yourself. That is why you have to run away from everything and anything. That which creates fear cannot produce the Reality. Knowledge is not born out of fear. Fear produces only ignorance. And the cause of our ignorance is fear. So, a fearless method of understanding Reality, a direct method of perceiving the Reality without any intermediary is opened up by this Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga Philosophy.
Let me summarize what I have said.
Firstly philosophy must be UNDERSTOOD AS A LOVE OF ULTIMATE REALITY a love that is not willing to be mediated by any bodily instruments such as mind, intellect etc.Philosophic knowledge is Supra- mental knowledge. And it is a knowledge by identity with the Ultimate Reality. Now, this can only be known by developing that capacity of awakening the self which is capable of knowing the Reality without the help of the sense organs or the body. And once it develops that direct knowledge, it also knows to direct the body which it is holding. Our sense organs are coming into being only for protecting the body, surviving, and for self protection, self preservation and self perpetuation. The whole body and mind have been yoked to develop these capacities but not to know itself. Self protection is alright. But, WHAT IS THE SELF THAT IT IS PROTECTING? THE BODY? Is the Self equal to the body?
Now we have a new definition. We are starting a new kind of terminology. In fact, in the very first chapter, Master says; 'I am trying to develop a new kind of language of Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga. Words are to mean differently from what they have been used by people. Anybody who knows science tells that each science has its own technical meaning. When we use technical terms of one science as equivalent to technical terms of another science an interchange, we create confusion in knowledge. So, our people
