phenomenon is occurring in India. The same sophistication, the same unnaturalness, the same rigidity of mechanized existence is with us. We are an unnatural people today, despite all the religions, which have already produced their quota of unnaturalness in our lives. So it is that Sri Ram Chandraji the elder, I will call him the elder, thought that it was an easy way which should be presented to our people, who are fitted to receive it, thanks to the great heritage of the past. So he said, "I can bring back that consciousness of the divine mind and connect it with your heart." Well, you might say it is a great claim, and from what our Rishis and other people have said, it must be considered to be a fantastic claim. I have no doubt, I myself thought so too.

I had the feeling that realized souls must be extraordinarily good looking like this or like that, enchanting people and so on, But here was a very silent, unobtrusive man, who I think, cannot be recognized in a public place as anybody different from anybody else. And yet such was the man who promised to deliver the most important secret of being to me; not only to me but to everybody afterwards. So I had merely to ask him to do the job.
He said that Transmission, or Pranahuti as he called it, is the most important thing that happens, and explained to me that this Pranahuti or giving of Prana to you is, in fact, the way by which the transcendental, or the Ultimate thought or consciousness, the sovereign principle in man, can be given to me in its purest state in the heart. All of us know according to our
