manifestation. With the formation of the knots in the path of, downward descent of the energy the pole in man’s being linking him to the world is almost entirely shielded from the other pole near the base or what is in essence, the Stir. This has resulted in God almost going out of reckoning in the life of man. This can be termed as the immoderation or lack of balance in the present day human living. That is, there is undue attachment towards the things of the world or one’s worldly existence causing a disproportionate attention to be paid in the maintenance and upkeep of the worldly life.
It is necessary to bring all the constituents of the human existence to their original state of poise and tranquility so that it may keep up its link with divinity for restoring moderation and balance in human life. The Master outlines the process of divinization of man as follows. The divine influx occurs into the aspirant’s heart due to the will of the Master in the practice of meditation along the lines of SRRY bringing about absorbency in the divine and detachment from the world in a gradual manner.

When the human limitations are gone, the expanse of the self becomes unlimited so much so that the entire universe seems to be contained within the self. Anything that strikes anywhere in the universe cause an echo in his heart and everything in Nature is within his knowledge and perception. Our great Master is a shining example of such a perfected human being. Such is the potential of man when he gets the dynamic contact of a Master like Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj and yields to Him completely and unconditionally with an unwavering determination to reach the Goal.
Realization and its means
The Master takes up the subject of realization and the means to be adopted for its attainment. He says elsewhere that it is not enough for one to be curious about the nature of realization but he should also try to attain it. God-
