“Master says that "When it is so, the idea of freedom does not even crop up in the mind. That is really a sad tale of our own. Such persons ever remain a prey to their own thoughts which go on adding veil after veil to their thinking and practicing. They have, so to say, fastened themselves so rigidly into their own ways that they would never listen to the ways suggested to them for extricating themselves from the meshes. The thing with which we started in the beginning thus becomes an impediment to our advancement on the path. Master asserts that there is no limit or hallmark to the advancement in spirituality as our goal is to move towards the Infinity. Of course this becomes possible only when we can burn our dirt and dross in the single moment of flash experienced during meditation. Flash or Lightning it may be noted is far too superior even to Phosphorus as the lightening though compared to Phosphorus passes off in a flash as it is graphically described in the Vedic lore-Vidhyullekeva Bhaswara. When we fix up such a goal that very intention will lead us to the Master or the Master presents himself before us. If the goal clarity is not there naturally the means and methods one adopts would themselves serve as bondages in the path of progress. Once the restlessness for the attainment of the goal is there the Master appears on the scene and shall be our duty to abide by what he says under all circumstances.”

“There are two portions of SriRamchandraji Maharaj that we have got to clearly understand. His personality is null. He is void that is one aspect of it. The other aspect of it is he is available to us and we can reach him. We can reach him through the connections that are going to be established. The very first sitting that we are going to have, we tell the new practicant that this person is getting introduced to God through the masters. We use the word Divine. Varadachari as a philosopher, as a scholar he used this word several times, ultimate. SriRamchandraji Maharaj uses the word BHUMA, to refer to that condition which is not the last one, which is actually the penultimate. Ultimate is ultimate only - void. The Bhuma is the one that expresses. The mother is the one that expresses. That connection, that ensures the source. The persons who are introduced, feel as vibrations as something that moves in their body, some force that enters into them. This is the first parameter that an Abhyasi can have to show that he is experiencing a consciousness of a higher type and during that time he is in an altered state of consciousness. He is not in the consciousness of his body, but something else. There is something of a change. At least temporarily an altered state of consciousness he has, that gives him the quiet, that gives him the calm, that gives him the peace. This is had in the very first sitting. In the second sitting what is done is we try to give the suggestion through the process of will that this person is moving from the animal state to the human state. Not all of us are born as humans, totally. We are human, we are also animals, it is our duty to reduce the animal and move on to the human level. That is our right. That is the only justification. Then only our existence is justified, otherwise we have wasted, squandered the opportunity. We enable the applicant, we enable the aspirant, and we enable the practicant.”
