dealt impartially and according to merit. This being the situation, how can any person interfere with this process and even if it were possible what about the moral implications?
We will give in what follows the answer to the questions above through an explanation of the rationale behind the process of Pranahuti and how a person becomes fit to offer the same.
Usually a person is preoccupied with himself and his problems and all his actions are motivated in general by selfish considerations. It is only when his consciousness grows beyond his self that the questions and problems of others gain importance in his consciousness. Thus when we consider the task of pranahuti it is essential that the person offering pranahuti is above the normal mundane level of consciousness tied to the localized and particularized expression-the body or the form and answering to a name- called by the Master as pind consciousness and is capable of considering doing good to others without any consideration of self interest. Such a person is said to have access to the Brahmanda consciousness which expands to cover a vaster sphere including others also. He is not confined to his body and the structure he is associated or born with has no capacity to confine or limit him. Further he is able to percolate his consciousness through others for their benefit. As this consciousness grows and attains refinement, he is able to realize that all beings are merely extensions of his own real self and thus there is no feeling of separateness. Oneness with all develops and he is keen to serve others by removing the shortcomings in them only because those shortcomings are seen by him as his own. This becomes the real rationale for ceaseless service being extended to more and more fellow beings till the whole of humanity and later the entire universe is brought once again to the state of purity prevailing just before the process of manifestation commenced. When such a consciousness is ruling in a person he is not interfering with the destiny of another rather he is merely carrying out a sacred duty enjoined upon him by Nature which charges such persons with the task of ensuring that all his brethren arrive safely at the destination which they themselves have reached as the Master puts it.
They start working automatically for Nature which can not brook blemishes or impurities and tries out all means to restore all things to their pristine purity and thus inspires such noble souls and also empowers them according to the nature of their respective tasks in this regard. This is the rationale and spirit behind the declaration of the Lord in the Gita, yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavathi—; the advents seem to be part of an automatic restoration process in Nature by Nature whose look out seems to be preserving her original purity at all costs, even as the body expels the foreign matter or bodies from itself in an
