He says, so far we have failed in understanding to live ethically mainly because we never understood the logic by which the religious leaders have stated the moral principles. He comes out with a logic which we can almost never question, provided we accept his axiom that "everything in this Universe is consciousness either in pure state or in grosser state". This acceptance is possible for those who practice meditation and are accustomed to exposures of imperience. The ethics that are given are not just do's and don'ts based on Practical Reason as suggested by the German Philosopher but is based on Realities beyond Practical Reason imperienced in the inner core of being. This is fundamental to the system of RajaYoga that he has given.
A Human being is capable of looking at the same matter from different angles as against the less evolved species. It can react to situations from different perspectives and thus can have different attitudes to the same situation. It is a matter of scientific truth that men can alter their lives by altering their mental attitudes. Attitude is not merely a way of thinking but also a way of feeling and willing. A change in the attitude of any person means a change in his way of thinking, feeling and willing. The attitudinal changes that are advised in spiritual life relate to the physical, vital and mental planes of existence. The Commandments of Sri Ramchandra, the great Master are related to the changes in the attitudes of the aspirant in Yoga at various levels.
While propagating Pranahuti Aided Meditation (PAM) it is likely that a person may retort to you saying "You assume knowledge of all people which you can do only if you are God." Please understand that because we are trying to tell him that PAM is good for all, he is likely to say, "you assume knowledge, of all people which you can do only when you are God." "I want you to understand that you are labouring under a double fallacy," he is likely to say. The first fallacy is, what you think is best for you is really best for you. Are you sure? And then, what you regard as best for you is best for the whole world. Are you sure about it? "It is an assumption of omniscience," is the response one is likely to get. This demands clarification.
