“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. But the march is not over yet. There is something still which is inexplicable. The idea of freedom is also there, and so long as it is there, it is a bondage still, though our journey might have come to an end. There it is only God's help that can take us along onwards, but only when we are in a state of complete oblivion. In that sense I would therefore prefer to induce people to forget themselves instead of knowing themselves". (Efficacy of Sri Ramchandra's Rajayoga Page 77, Para 2) <br/> "Realisation means merging or oneness with the Absolute. In that case no question of knowledge can ever arise. What that may then be - knowledgelessness - not knowingness - ignorance or what? In short it must be something like that, though it may well nigh be impossible to express it in words. Complete ignorance, as I have put it, may however be nearest to appropriateness". (Path of Grace Page 185, Para 2) <br/> Dispelling the imaginary notions of the state of Realisation master asserts that the difference between the individual consciousness and the Absolute is to stay for ever gives a practical and verifiable version of the same.”

“I seek your indulgence to state the condition of Absolute is a matter of imperience and make a fervent plea that other aspirants also try to reach that condition promised to us by the Master. My statement may sound abrasive and audacious but I am sure many in the path have had such an imperience of the same and would vouch for it. Most of us who get into this state of 'Absolute' feel no experience and only observe cessation per se. It is pure and simple awareness. It is obvious that pure awareness also needs something to manifest in order to be aware. But the pure awareness or 'Absolute' has the characteristic of being a witness; our reasoning informs, still it is obvious that the witness cannot witness itself because there is nothing to witness then. This is a very interesting aspect of our sadhana. Absolute is neither Brahman nor Kshob, as many philosophers state. Brahman we know is a development over the condition of Atman and Kshob is the Original Stir. The state imperienced does not permit predication, though for expression sake we call it 'Absolute' implying that it is the final state. But the condition is true. The state is true in the sense it is imperienced. It is true in the sense it is something that moulds our way of living after exposure to its influence. <br/> Reason and intellect fail here totally and all our attempts to understand the condition then end up in frustration. Here I may share with you a secret; at this stage we have to stop intellection and only imperience the state of Absolute to go further deep in our meditation. The Absolute is the realm of complete mystery, but it is only here the heart feels it has arrived home, at long last. There is wonder, there is beauty, there is harmony, there is majesty, but it is all mystery upon mystery that these feelings are possible in an end state of Nothingness. The peace is stupendous, the certainty is absolute. It is the ultimate intimate of the heart, the Spirit of spirits. It is the absolute Presence on absolute annihilation of self. Obviously such words make no sense to the intellect, but when consciousness finally reaches this final abode, the heart starts feeling its divine fragrance.”
