Realization. But it may be withdrawn and everything can be withdrawn into Him when the great Pralaya occurs. Now there are many theories about the matters. But I believe it is all very speculative. Theories about trying to preserve oneself and speak about all the laws of causality and applying to God or that condition of infinity, are meaningless to me, when we have known these laws have been discovered within limits, and the limits of the Divine are not limits at all. They are infinite. So, I do not think we can intelligibly think of God in His infinity though we can certainly speak about God in his finiteness. May be, that God appears to us finite, but it is merely to induce us to go into His infinity. And I think, most people try to call God infinite though they actually believe in the finite. That is why our religion is full of contradictions. Real spirituality goes beyond and wants to live in Infinity and for Infinity, till we reach God and know God in his infinity. That would be Realization. Liberation is a very small thing. As I said, even crossing into the Brahmanda might be considered to be liberation. According to our system, getting into the Central Region may be considered to be Liberation. That is because we reach into the stage and go on expanding and there are no forces which can bind us. The causes of that condition which bring forth bondages or limitations are utterly removed at the Central Region, but I may personally say even at that state one could carry on certain very subtle difficulties which only a Master who is aware of that particular area in the subtlest form can remove and that is a very hard job. That is why we have, in this system very good promises, not merely ideals which can be realized but could be demonstrated within the life time of an abhyasi. What takes millions of years or many lives in other systems or in the natural course of centuries could be made possible in a life time, and Yoga is this concentration of Energy evolution within a lifetime. And that is why Yoga is a special process which contracts time and space and number of lives by bringing God's own energy in His ultimate form and making it do the work of taking us into the Ultimate State. It must be the Will of God that mankind is given the opportunity to achieve this end. Therefore, it is said, "To be born a man is a great boon" and it is very difficult to be born a man. It is perhaps the Grace of God alone that makes a person be born a man. And that is why, man becomes the vessel of God's Grace. That is why, God can and does, take up the work of taking up man to the Ultimate stage.
