As a result of the progressive grossening and the innumerable coverings forming over the soul, the functioning of man got deviated or started curving away from the line of divinity. This is equivalent to saying that the actions of the line of humanity no longer reflected the will of the Divine.
Once it curves away from the line of divinity the line of humanity gets to that extent deprived of the divine nourishment and support leading to the increased darkening and grossening of the coverings over the soul. At its worst this even makes the human to remain oblivious of the divine even questioning its very existence as is happening today. The opaqueness due to the covering makes it impossible for it to peep into the divine in the heart. Naturally all thoughts and actions performed under this condition are fuelled by egoism, pride, prejudice, greed, fear, and insecurity poisoning the very environment in which humanity finds itself. The spoilt environment further compounds the problem. When the degradation reaches a threshold, it compels an intervention from the divine through the medium of an advent or an avatar having its base in the line of divinity extending right up to the Centre. This is the import of the Lord’s statement in the Gita, ‘Yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavathi...’ Thus it seems to be an automatic corrective action on the part of Nature which sends out a personality appropriately equipped with the necessary powers for rectifying the situation caused by the straying of the line of humanity away from that of divinity. All that needs to be done at this stage is to bring the constituents of the human system to their original state or in other words to restore them to a state of poise and tranquility to keep up its link with divinity. In the system of SRRY this is done by introducing proper moderation into the faculties and sensibilities of man thus bringing them to their original state. There is a very illuminating clarification given by Revered. Dr. K.C.Varadachari for the word ‘moderation’ which may be noted here.
It is not what we usually mean when we say, ‘eat moderately, sleep moderately’ and so on but points towards the ‘immoderate’ emphasis on materiality or the human condition we have become accustomed to place rather than on the Divinity which is the source and support for all that is and will be. Therefore the introduction of moderation means restoring the balance in this respect by injecting the divine consciousness into one’s heart and making him realize the oneness with the divine eventually leading to his divinization. Another interesting observation made by Revered Dr. K.C.Varadachari in this context is that Master is the third entity or force, which is needed for doing this work of diverting the divine consciousness from the line of divinity to the line of humanity.
