All the Elders and Mahatmas are equal according to their cast and there is no difference. There is no superiority among them according to the number of disciples they have. The credit of the person depends on his nearness to Paramatma and having the Marfat. The approach, nearness and union or intimacy of a person to Paramatma and Satpad is to have eternal knowledge, and continuous peace and rest, and the result of such Shanti pad is reaching the stage of Fana and Laya Avastha. It is to be known that when the Salik (seeker) gets this connection and it becomes natural, he gets the Vilayath (Saintliness) and elderliness of a satsanghi.
One way to salvation is to pass through all the stages. From the Mrutyu lok, going upwards through the higher worlds, reach the Satpad in the end. One person travels from the beginning to the end, crosses every stage in the following way. For example, he starts from his house and halts during the night. This is one stage. He goes by walk looking and making a search of everything present there, like countryside, lands, town, streets, byelanes, houses, garden, tank with out leaving anything and goes through other stages in the same way.
The other person travels the stages in order, but does not go by walk, and travels in a car and looks simply at the things which happen to come on the way and does not make any effort for searching.
A Third person skips first three stages of the order or skips six stages out of seven stages of order and starts from seventh stage in a motor car and travels so fast that his eyes are closed and he is unable to see anything till he reaches the goal and takes rest there.
The first method / training is called “Taleem Bathrak Salook” and second and third methods are called “Taleem Bathreek Jajb”. The meaning of “Jajb” is to be pulled up. Those Salik and Panthai who skip the lower stages cannot do so on their own accord and Satguru pulls them up by holding their hand, from whichever place He wants and “Jajb” is travel by car, which is the vehicle of Guru, on which they travel. It is to been known in detail that few stages from the beginning to upwards, have problems of name and form and they are full of material nature and it is purely the Mandal of Maya(Nature). And above these two and below the higher ie., in between is a third layer of adulteration or mixture, which is called intermediary (Barzak) Mandal, in it are the elements and particles. It is incorporated with gross and subtle elements ie., half of them have the effects of the layers of maya and upper half of them have purely the reflection of their own layer and its effect.
Some seekers start their upward journey entirely from the lowest layer, are
