“Master makes a pithy statement that "Realisation is to become a real man" making it clear realisation is an event of great consequence to proper living". In Efficacy of Sri Ramchandra’s Rajayoga Master explains that the state of realization is to be the same as oneness with our original condition as obtained at the time of creation. He clarifies this position further by saying that "The final point of approach is where every kind of force, power, activity or even stimulus disappears and a man enters a state of complete negation, nothingness or zero. Such is the extent of human achievement which a man should fix his eyes upon from the very beginning, if he wants to make the greatest progress on the path of realization". (Silence Speaks Page 126, Para 1) <br/> Explaining this position metaphysically in the book Efficacy of Rajayoga he stated that when the time of creation came, the latent motion beneath the Centre grew stronger, causing a stirring movement which later led to the formation of the universe. That may be called the first, or Super-Mind of the Almighty. We owe our origin to that mind which we call the first Mind. On the back side of the first Mind there is Centre or the state of tam which is clearly explained in my book Commentary on the Ten Commandments. "If you have brought your individual mind to the level of first Mind, then you have only to jump above the first Mind whereto there is Centre or Almighty. When you realize yourself to become one with that state, you have realized the true Reality. There you swim and swim. Nobody knows its end. When this thing comes to you, you feel everywhere plainness, simplicity and calmness. When you begin to live in that state without break even these three things seem to be lost. That means you have no impression of even these things in you. Oneness is reigning now". (Efficacy of Sri Ramchandras Rajayoga Page 25, 26) <br/> It may be seen that the jumping into the Centre did not end our journey. The characteristic of that oneness with Reality is an expression of the First Mind and we continue our swimming in the Infinite. The process goes on till the Maha Pralaya happens. So it should be borne in mind while doing sadhana that there is nothing like pinnacle or last stage in our sadhana where we become one with the Lord. The First Mind that came to the lot of the human being is a state of prayer coupled with dependency and this continues for ever. If the aspirants have clarity on this and do not get lost in the Vedantic terms he will be more at ease and remain in a state of grateful Prayer. <br/> Master asserts that "it is really the practical experience only that can help one to realize himself. No other way or method, no book or scripture, can be of any avail in this respect. What a diversion from reality would it be to call realisation of Oneness or Nothingness as the realisation of truth. Truth has its own definition. But where we have to arrive at, finally, is beyond everything". (Practice and Efficacy of Sri Ramchandra’s Rajayoga Page 51, Para 2) <br/> Master explains that our goal is not any resting place but is a dynamic living beyond all intellectual comprehension and the journey is an Infinite one. <br/> "But our travelling is not yet over. We march on still towards the Base, where the Realisation assumes its original form. The colourful visions having ended, the vision of the Absolute in its true aspect commences forthwith."”

“The aspirant has to learn that he/she has to put a full stop to the conceptual thinking to which one is accustomed to and it is then the Master appears in the scene his presence being felt as Eloquent Silence. That is a state when the consciousness pure and simple reigns as we all know during the deep states of meditation when neither we nor He is there. That is Sri Ramchandra Consciousness: it is then whether it is our state or His state does not matter and it is all the same and that is Laya or Mergence.”
