The understanding comes when the seed at the bottom is fried up
enlightenment. Some seeds are fried and there is liberation from the bonds. One can say the shock cracks open the shell of the egotistic mind with which many identify with their “me.” Spiritual Life cracks open the shell and a tough and committed teacher will ensure the crack in the shell and then the real understanding seeps in.
Once that crack is there, then the aspirant is reached more easily by spiritual teaching. This is what happens in the path of Rev. Babuji where the transmission of the Pranasya Pranah or the essence of Reality is infused at the first stroke of will which serves as the seed in the long run. The crack on the shell is an opening or entrance available for the universal to enter into the shell and convert it into the universal. We are suddenly open to it, because it reaches the deeper levels of our being. Something from within not from our conditioned mind but from the deeper level of unconditioned consciousness responds immediately. Often all that is needed to evoke this response is to have an open mind and receive the Pranahuti from an authorized person.
