“At the beginning it seems that this condition is something very distinct from everything else, but when our imperience matures due to repeated exposure to such a condition during meditations, we realize that there is nothing new and it is the state of balance which covers every aspect of everything that comes to our awareness. Those who meditate in the early hours of dawn regularly have experienced this balance reminding the condition which may be termed as 'Absolute'. It is then we find the activities of the early dawn which prompts in us the feeling of manifestation of the 'Absolute' and in the language of our beloved Master, 'Reality' is directly comprehended. That is the Reality at Dawn which we imperience. It is in such a manifestation we find everything is the 'Absolute', or 'Reality' but with form. So wherever we look we see the Reality. Though we imperience TAM, during such meditations where we feel cessation of all feelings and everything disappears, very soon everything reappears the moment thought is diverted towards the Master, as a manifestation of the 'Reality' and we comprehend the luminous awareness of the 'Reality'. The luminosity which was till then absent arrives on to the scene and all is luminous. Master seeing such a condition in a very advanced person wrote 'glittering also is gone and that is what I want.' That states that the Real is still far off. One may wonder what can there be that is beyond 'Absolute'. I invite your kind attention to the words of the Master after one has crossed the rings of splendour "Afterwards we feel the vision of the Absolute. In the end starts Layavastha in Brahm, at this state the problem of life is thoroughly solved. And this is the last run of all our spiritual activities, - but the thing never ends. We begin to start swimming in the infinite." The swimming is an effortless one and the period of swimming seems to be never ending as Master puts it "Under our system of sadhana, there comes a stage at which the feeling of wonder gets created in the abhyasi. I had remained in that condition for a number of years. With the introduction of this stage spirituality takes an entirely new turn." (SS-136)”

“The Natural Path wants us to be responsible persons committed to common good and welfare of the society. Deep meditation is a giant leap beyond our petty wishes and desires and not of logic and the norms of society. It is dissolving into infinity to become aware of our insignificance and is a state into which we enter and come back wiser and cohesive and we see the grandeur of His manifestation called in tradition as Leela. Though we get into such a state due to the blessings of the Master to remain in that state requires a total commitment and dedication to the divine and our developing a capacity to view all that is in creation with the point of view of the 'monas monadum.'(God) It is true that very few humans have been able to manage that radical transformation totally, but the possibility of every human being reaching that condition is what the Natural Path promises provided one follows the system in letter and spirit. <br/> We have an uncanny method of cheating ourselves of the chosen objective of life. Infinite are the methods by which we try to cheat our conscience. A sincere aspirant once wrote to me 'during morning meditation, thoughts related to having second child for service to the Master and betterment of humanity. Felt like someone begging, pleading to have birth and quite surprised with experience.' What a way to conceal the carnality? <br/> What a mischievous way of bringing in the Master into the picture? I felt a bit dazed and much more puzzled when I read the letter of the aspirant. And this during the morning meditation? The importance of the timing to offer our prayer stated by the Master must be remembered and its implication well appreciated. He stated that ' Performing of Sandhya before sunrise is stressed upon for the reason that the external heat and other influences, which have been driven out of the body, may not creep in again by the effect of the sun which would prevent our deriving the best advantage of the time.' (Reference: BWS 125)”
