While discussing the Central Region in His book on the Efficacy of Rajayoga, the Master refers to the super-finest state of super consciousness lying in that region. Calling it D3 (see Fig. 21 PG p 265) and locating it at the occipital prominence, He says that that is the last stage of super consciousness and which is reserved for the Incarnation of Deity.
He states further that this consciousness is sometimes bestowed upon the Special Personality who enjoys practically the status of Incarnation as regards the working of Nature. The state of perfection which is total and integral does not permit any of the known states of happiness or peace or bliss or any other term to be used to denote conditions of perfection, the condition being one of dryness termed ‘dreary waste’ by the Master. To the best of our knowledge there was no such person except Sri Ramchandraji of Shahjahanpur to have achieved such an exalted spiritual stage. Nature conferred upon Him the position of Maha Parishad (Ref. Dawn of Reality), which is the highest rank in the hierarchy of functionaries in Nature. This status is rarely conferred except when Nature stands in urgent need of drastic change or an overhauling of the world.
The Special Personality enjoys the highest power and it starts from the right region of the occipital bone, the principle of Invertendo operating here as well, the ‘upper’ or higher consciousness hemisphere being located on the right side once again as in the heart after undergoing the inversion in the previous lower regions. This is the sphere of Tam as already discussed earlier; the state of negation which one craves for and which is the real life abides in it and all activities cease before one reaches this sphere. It is beyond purity, simplicity and peace and the greatest of saints have remained short of the mark despite persistent labour over several lives. It is also to be noted as we have had occasion to do so that Tam as the highest possible approach for the human being could be revealed to man only after the advent of Revered. Lalaji Maharaj and His structuring of His greatest and most worthy disciple Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj and thus the great saints of the past could not have really had this supreme condition in their view as the goal to be aimed at. The state of Total or Complete Ignorance rules in the person in this state of consciousness and when that state is in full swing in him he, at the highest pitch of advancement is like an infant baby having no awareness of his own condition.
Thus the spiritual journey which commenced from the initial state of ignorance (avidya) and graduated through various intermediary stages of knowledge, jnana or vidya culminates in Total Ignorance. The Master calls this as the highest condition which is neither avidya symbolized by ‘darkness’ nor vidya represented by ‘light’, but beyond both; the goal in SRRY is neither
