“They are mostly dogmatic instead of Godmatic
is what has been shown in the emblem of the Mission and which is in a true sense the real state of man’s perfection, from which no decline or fall is possible. This is a very delicate point of philosophy. The saints have generally called this state – of neither light nor darkness – as Satpad which is not correct, for this state is much beyond that. That is in fact the reflection of the Reality which in itself is still beyond. This may be astonishing to most of the readers but I have written this only for those who are well advanced in spirituality and who have thorough knowledge of this science. It can only be experienced in a practical way and is not to be found within the bounds of religion. It is an entirely different path. It is itself a science for which one may not be well fitted unless he develops the capacity to perceive Nature with his inner eyes.” Imperience beckons –page 6
Our ideas, ideations, notions, dogmas about the goal have no relevance at all, we need to throw them out lock stock and barrel lest one can never strive to have the real experience of it as ‘as it is’. The institute of Sri Ramchandra Consciousness is encouraging the practicants to evaluate themselves against the implementation of the ten commandments as a primary index of progress on the Natural path. It is not only from a regularity of practice angle but also from the owning up of the conditions of Viveka, Vairagya, interdependency, devotion, surrender and balance condition which enable one to adhere these commandments naturally – i.e, to the extent of Godmaticness. Some view these commandments from the ethical point of view which is not correct and miss the point and that is the dogmatic approach so to say. It really takes quite a bit of sadhana to understand the importance of following the commandments as fundamental to our progress or life itself.
