 inevitable acquisitions. So many seek this attainment not for the sake of Realisation of the Ultimate but for the sake of enjoying sovereign power. In this sense kundalini becomes exhausted and takes its revenge on the individual, and forces him to realize that it is itself a hindrance to the Ultimate. It is the greatest force of Maya, illusion, and one should not be tempted to play the role of the individual egoist at cosmic and supracosmic levels. So true is this that the Puranas and Vedas hold that only One Person, the supreme Purusa alone, is the Master of Maya; the rest are bound by it, creatures deluded by it.
The supreme Nature is something that is beyond all Maya or its rings. It is beyond all egoisms and elements of individuation. Therefore Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga holds that realisation comes when one passes beyond the Central Region itself, which is beyond Parabrahmanda, Brahmanda, and Pindapradesa. That is the reason why even gods, who are masters of the Brahmanda, are not said to be free individuals who have realized the Ultimate, though they are very much higher than the ordinary man yet wallowing in the mire of the anda and pinda. Therefore also it is said that unless even the subtlest kind of egoism is surrendered, no further progress is possible, and perhaps the fall from god-state is necessary for ascent. This may be true, or else it is just possible also that one could, with the help of the Divine Master, go higher by submitting himself to the Higher Absolute. This was perhaps the meaning of the parable of the lifting of Govardhana Giri where Indra himself submitted to the power of Sri Krsna the avatar. Again and again the Gods humbled themselves before they had the Vision and access to the Absolute.
The power-seeker is unfortunately incapable of going beyond the levels of Brahmanda or cosmic consciousness, even if he is such as does not slip back into the lower level of the world. The abhyasi seeks the Ultimate Peace and Reality and as such the claims on his miraculous powers for the sake of humanity cannot be satisfied or answered. No one should attempt to answer the demand for miracles. Sri Ram Chandra states that these powers are there to be used when required, and when they are not used they are not required by the Ultimate. Though miracles are said to qualify a person for sainthood according to some religions, yet miracles by themselves mean nothing at all, except as obstacles to spiritual ascent for the individual
