further enriched through continuing research for deepening the understanding of the phenomena under the scope of the current theory and carrying out extensions of the theory in explaining new observations and making more wide ranging testable predictions of outcomes. The wider the range of phenomena covered by a scientific theory through its explanatory and predictive power the better and more fundamental it becomes.
A close study of the system of SRRY(PAM) to be discussed in the following pages will reveal that the system is evolved on scientific lines as outlined above. We find the Master stating repeatedly in His works that the system evolved by Him is a scientific one giving in the process His definition of what is scientific as in,’ It never happened that the combination of hydrogen and oxygen would not produce water. I call that alone scientific which always produces the same result whoever experiments with it’ (SS p 340- 2004 ed). Again describing the process which helped Him cross all spiritual stages and reach the very summit, in a message He declares,’ It is therefore on the basis of my life’s experience that I strongly affirm that it is the only method which ensures unfailing results’, ‘The scientific principle underlying this process is that when the abhyasi meditates, his thoughts create a vacuum in his heart which begins to be filled up with the power of that which is meditated upon, so as to keep up the balance in accordance with the law of Nature’ (SDG p2- 3- 2005 ed). Here we see the Master making pronouncements only on the basis of His own experience and the clear delineation of the universal principle of thought which underlies the experience.
Master’s call to His fellow beings has always been to invite them to enter the field boldly, see and verify for themselves the results which accrue when the path is traversed with diligence, faith in and strict obedience to the instructions of the Master.
During His training of the aspirants, He would always make His own observations of the spiritual condition of the aspirant and also obtain direct feedback from the aspirant as to how he had felt during and after the training sessions as verification of His own observations and for planning further course of action in the case. This is the scientific spirit truly manifested.
We will see that the entire system of SRRY(PAM) is based upon clearly stated foundational principles as in the seminal works of the Master, Imperience Beckons and in the Practice and Efficacy- SRRY and the spiritual stages of progress described in detail as in Path of Grace traversed by all earnest aspirants following the system in letter and spirit. Further there are clearly formulated meditational, purificatory and prayer practices for the abhyasis spelling out the procedures and the attainable objectives thereof and similarly, the methods manual for the trainers giving them precise guidelines for
