Shri Ram Chandra Mission was established at Shahjahanpur (U.P.) on 31st March 1945 after the name of this great personality, by me as his successor, through his grace; and slowly it is attracting the seekers of the Real from everywhere. I am happy that Master’s grace is working in this respect and people are attracted to benefit from his grace.
The system of ‘Sahaj Marg Sadhana’ now followed in the Mission presents an easy and natural path for the attainment of the Ultimate. Sahaj Marg does not advise those cruder methods which are hardly practicable in the routine life of man. Under the Sahaj Marg system of spiritual training the action of the senses is regulated in a natural way so as to bring them to their original state, i.e. just as it was when it assumed the human form for the first time. Not only this, but the lower vrittis (modifications), which are working independently, are subjected to the control of super-consciousness. Hence their perverse action is stopped. The higher centres come under the charge of divine centres, and in this way the whole system begins to get divinised.

Our Master’s declaration is that a sadhak can reach such a state not only in one and the same birth (lifetime) but even within a shorter period, if he is a diligent worker and has got a real guide. This he proved also, but the proof is impossible to be given in words. Our experience alone can show it.
The popular belief that God can be sought for only in the midst of the forest, as if He is but a forest dweller, is vain and absurd. I believe He can better be sought for in the midst of one’s own heart. But for that purpose, the spirit of the Spartans is necessary.
There is not the least justification for any one to flee away from home in utter disregard of his worldly duties and wander about without any definite aim or
