The Master brings out the very major role played in SRRY(PAM) of Pranahuti especially with regard to the progress on the path. The capable guide, by virtue of his own inner powers, awakens and accelerates the dormant forces in the abhyasi and directs the flow of Divine current towards his heart, through the process of pranahuti. As a result the abhyasi is able to progress on the path progressively experiencing more and more of bliss. The abhyasi has only to make himself capable and deserving of the divine grace.

Now Nature desires all humanity to unite partaking in the Divine Universal Consciousness and live in cooperation, harmony and mutual goodwill for its common good and spiritual well-being. It is the experience of the abhyasis of SRRY(PAM) such a cooperative and harmonious existence is possible by each and every human being opening himself to and welcoming into his heart the all inclusive Sri Ramchandra Consciousness which is of the nature of Universal love and is ever ready to respond to such a call. It is in the above spirit of the Sri Ramchandra Consciousness, the Master exhorts all mankind to come forward to practice the system, experience the grace of His Master who has turned a new leaf in tradition of Indian philosophy and derive spiritual benefit.
