Now the teachers bring again into action the dormant emotional conditions with the help of transmission and bliss. This is done to such an extent that in the teaching process of our order they make it start from the jasb and after getting all the aspects of jasb (intense spiritual intoxication) completed, they bring the disciple back towards Sulook (path of spiritualism). And then they get all the stages of Sulook completed. This alone is the ultimate Sulook. That very condition of moderation, which prevailed, in human hearts and souls at the start, comes over now .The intervening conditions and stages are waves. From them it cannot be known as to what peace is, nor where it does abide. Now in reality the man is in the form of a man whereas prior to this he was an animal in the form of man. When is reality found in waves? There is no question of start and reach here. What exists, exists. Weakness, passions and emotions are in imperfection only. There is no trace of waves and passions in perfection. There is peace when all the attributes become moderate. This is state of desirelessness in spite of desires. Such a condition prevails either when the heart has been exhausted, or is that of a heart which has got solace and satisfaction. While doing any thing the heart becomes monotonous in end i.e. it becomes subject to Upram. If it is for the reality, well and good. If it is worldly even then it is heartening because once again the period of ascension starts after it. This is the practice of the travellers on the divine path.

It is pleasurable for a seeker to have extreme divine faith and contentment which is the after effect and result of ‘Get up with my order’. But the condition of the former contains reverence and gives the happy news of “Nearness of the Being”. In the nearness and companionship of the Being the Salik (one who is established on the path, and has advanced far on it) is blessed with the effulgence of the Being. There is world of the difference between the effulgence of the Being and the attributes of the Being. Should one not be pleased on remembering the attribute of humility of Hanumanji? Whenever anyone reminded him of his power he used to remember his power. Is our aim to eat the mangoes or to count the leaves and trees? Is it not a great achievement if a Salik, inspite of having thoughts of discouragement, is able to perform a task, which many boasters can never perform? What will be the state of displeasure and wrath of a Master when a servant of his boasts of possession of power in his presence and behind his back? It is just possible that on account of his pride and act of usurpation he may be
