 of its Reality. We are only partially conscious of the Reality and are aspiring to have full consciousness of life, so that we can live fully both in the atom of our bodies and Atman of our being and Brahman. That awareness is possible only by introducing different types of Prana.
Prana means outer air for most people. In fact, the inner air is called Prana and the outer air is called Vayu. That is not the fact at all. The true fact is that it is a Divine power that makes things which are dead come into life. Growth is possible only when there is Prana. When Prana is decreased, then, there is no growth. And that is the basis of Pranayama. People extend the duration of the breathing. They ask us to breath the air, 'keep it down to that' etc. This exercise goes on for half an hour or an hour. Some people think that they can go on doing it all through the day.
So far as I know that is a very troublesome one, and we who are doing our work, cannot afford to take to this type of exercise which does not take us to the Reality. And, if it is so in your case, what about the other things which cannot breathe? What about the elements? My own feeling is that Master said that this Prana has Ultimate force or original force, and this should be offered into the hearts of men and when this is introduced as the Food of the Soul, the Soul begins to look up for its goal. If you want to say that for any plant to grow, you want fertilisers, you have to fertilise your Soul by giving this Prana. Therefore, it is a very necessary process to have this Prana, and this is the uniqueness of our system.
What is the differentiation between this system and other systems? Not in the idea of God, not in the idea of the Individual soul and not in the idea of Brahman does this system differ from others, but in the introduction of the Divine Force into you, by which you will grow to a true spiritual stature, which means that you will be able to realise yourself as the Reality. We pass from the unreal to the Real, from immoral to the moral, from ignorance to the Knowledge, of which we are ignorant, and this cannot be described by the ordinary mind. This Pranahuti has to do an extraordinary amount of work. It prepares for the future. It wants you to think beyond this body. Life is continuous whether it is having body or not and that life is real.
So, the language which our Master has used for the system of Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga - atleast for these three terms - is unique. As for the
