transmission which Shri Ram Chandraji-Babuji-has perfected, and has been using on all types and grades of people-intellectuals, non-intellectuals, learned men, ignorant men, the rich and the poor, without any difference whatsoever. And the results have been, from my own experience for the last twelve years, uniformly of the same order-the de-tensioning of man.
It is not that you will see God face-to-face as some might say. There are no visions offered; and there is no need for visions in this marga. Experience is not vision. Vision is only one type of experience. Experience is much deeper in the heart; and a peculiar kind of activity of harmonized existence comes. It may not be very sudden.

The real thing is, if you connect yourself with God then everything will follow from it.
So, first let me be connected with God, with that Ultimate force, which is called by Babuji Pranahuti or transmission. The offering of the very breath of Brahman into you. It is manas that has become prana, as the Upanishad puts it, and it is by that you are all living. But the prana with which you are all living has become so enfeebled, so much so that you would like to give up this type of prana even. How to give new life to you? You have to get it from the source again. And he is certainly a god who can bring that source back into my heart! To re-enliven one, make one feel a new man with a new
