difficult it is to control this citta. In fact the entire life of sadhana was aimed at this controlling of the mind and arriving at the silent condition. The samadhi was said to be one such condition. The state of amanaska is the greatest achievement in Yoga. Manas being controlled, stilled, or transcended, one is free from the world of samsara or bondage, and free from the struggle for freedom.
In Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga the stilling of the manas is achieved directly by the introduction of the Prana of the Centre itself by the Master. This introduction at the heart of the abhyasi immediately brings about the calming of the mind in its grossest form, and slowly ascending it would bring about the state of amanaska without passing through the samadhi of the usual description that leads to the condition of suspension of all normal activities. This means that the psychic being, when supported by the Master's transmission or prana, does not need the manas and its formations for supporting the gross body at all. Usually the whole organism is considered to be a product of the mind but this reveals that it is not so. The Supracosmic Mind or Centre directly runs the entire organism and it lives and moves by that power of the Centre. One becomes mindless at the very beginning.
