granted) only to special ones.
Order: The mind these days is becoming very restless; and it is being provided with a climate accordingly. As such the modulations (Vrittis) of consciousness (Chitta), i.e. mental tendencies fail to acquire peace. I, therefore, order that those among my progeny, who are capable, should first of all exercise control just over these (Chitta-Vrittis). In general, for those, devoid of proper understanding as to how much force is to be applied at which points or what practices are to be adopted through these methods, I will require them to take up the sublimity of the heart only; but remain cleaning every point, as hitherto (usual)”.

Ritualistic Tendencies – Getting Rid Off
The big toe of the right foot be fixed into sight, and meditated upon, fixing some point therein. God is omniscient and pervading everywhere. This state is to remain there for ever. Even at the time of total annihilation, That (God) is to remain all-circumscribing as It is now. When the time of creation arrived, boiling up set in and forms (and categories) were manifested. The way That (God) is pervading the human being happens to be in strange way, difficult to comprehend. For the sake of understanding it may be supposed that the brain is the Real Ultimate being (Asal Zaat), where from Its light or power is focused on the entire organism. Its extremity or end in the real way remains beyond (the grip of) comprehension, because of being limitless. For the sake of understanding and in respect to the strange way in which It is enshrined in the human being, it will have to be granted that the last part of It constitutes the extreme end of the foot; and what happens to be the secret in it is that this big toe and that top point in the brain are one and the same, beyond the possibility of any adulteration. As such being one-pointed on this (big toe) means getting one-pointed on one’s starting point; and this practice can bring about the desired result, which constituted the problem to start with. I instruct that those who have ritualistically scattered themselves over their feet, should adopt this practice (without fail). It is something that can make people struck with wonder, on comprehension or achievement of the desired result; but the society in general will have no appreciation for it, because this lies beyond the reach of their understanding. This is beyond all the rules (and regulations) that they have learnt or read (in books). When somebody starts this practice one must consult one’s guide because he understands everything better”.
