verified. Therefore, we are trying not to experience in the sense that is coming from outside, but by an inner contact with Reality, a contact by which Reality can flow into us and we might be able to know the Eternal meaning of things and therefore be able to verify properly the most ancient relics and place them in the proper perspective or correct them so that they become all true. It was said of the great interpreters of the Vedas that they are using their small instrument of reason for understanding Cosmic or Supra-cosmic things. So all that you have from the translations of great Pundits must be taken as such.
So I hold that this ideology starts with a real connection with the Ultimate, and so meanings of the big words were found by our Master. That is what Shri Ram Chandraji of Fatehgarh did in some of his writings. Some of them have been recovered. And Shri Ram Chandraji had to rescue those writings. A few have been published in "Sahaj Marg" and our friend Sri Saranad of Gulbarga has translated the writings of Master into English. They are yet to be printed.
Take for instance, the Vedantic words Atman and Brahman. We are told that Atman is Brahman and that is a great Mahavakya "Aham Brahma Asmi" - What do these terms exactly mean?

We are all people who think in terms of particulars. Individual particular things we gather, observe particular things alone and we have to use some other faculty to put them together.
Now all these come under this classification and so Atman is a person or mind which thinks in terms of particulars. And so, how can it seek about the generality of nature of Reality then? Mind is accustomed to observation of particulars. Not even that knowledge is perfect, because there cannot be a particular unless it is a part of a whole and unless you know the whole, you cannot know the part fully. One man said "If I want to know about the full nature of the flower in the garden I must know the Reality of which it is a part". So, the whole knowledge should come into picture. The individual mind, the Atman is very much fitted for doing some actions - for finding its food and only those things which are edible and giving up the inedible
