divine - THADEKAM - that one supreme being alone can give us liberation and he is called one because no one else can give that liberation. He is the only one who can give liberation because he is transcendent to all processes and all the levels of this world and consciousness. So the idea has been that though religions have given us a realistic picture of the world that have been governed by Gods and powers and they are indeed worshipable, praiseworthy and we have been doing that they have not liberated us. If we want liberation, the real spiritual life - far beyond the material world, which binds us, then we must worship only that ultimate form of God as liberator, as one who makes us free from all bondages, rather who makes all our bonds light and not bonds at all and who gives us opportunities of a further growth into his infinite nature. It is one of our great discoveries in this country that God has been called Anant-Infinite and to that infinite are we wedded in true spiritual life. We have got two terms which we use - God as Atchutha and God as Anantha. Atchuta is one from whom you cannot fall down once you reach Him. Anantha is one who gives a dynamic aspect of taking you farther and farther into deep levels into his infinite nature, which we cannot in our finite mind, and by our finite consciousness, understand. So, this dynamic nature of the supreme being which you realise, when you become of the same mind that is, Samadhi with equality with his mind and again Sadharmya with him opens up the infinite before you, the words of liberation which do not bring about any bondage, of any sense. That is said to be true spirituality. That is why Sri Ramchandraji used to put it in this way. The end of philosophy is the beginning of religion. The end of religion is the beginning of spirituality; the end of spirituality is the beginning of reality. So you will see that till you reach that ultimate state of Ananta which is possible to us, you do not realise your real nature and you are not a selfrealised being either. Realisation means that when you realise the reality when you become one, with the reality and begin to form and act upon to the laws of reality-the laws that do not bind but enhance your infinity. You begin to act according to new laws with new freedom. This is a vista, a possibility opened up by this simple process of what is called transmission or Pranahuti which is the introduction of the divine consciousness into the heart of the Abhyasi so that his mind might get accustomed to the new laws and become one with these, with the divine life and the divine mind. This is a very big experiment in spirituality? I may tell you that this was the aim of the earliest of saints, That was far far in the past of our spiritual life. I do
