remaining souls, 'what sort of fools are you? Why are you still here? I created the world, I created the heaven, I created the hell", what else I am to do? They replied 'We want you and nothing else'. The point to emphasize here is that though people reach God, it is not as though they continue to be with Him forever. That is the reason, it is absolutely essential that our attention should always be at the feet of the Master. To start with we are not concerned about the Base itself as such.
The morning meditation is to be done. The Master says "Offer your prayer and puja at a fixed hour preferably before sunrise, sitting in the one and the same pose." Revered Babuji goes very deep into the subject. This is the version of Sri Ram Chandra's Raja Yoga on sandhyopasana of the Rishis. When I say this, I warn you also not to be misguided in thinking that sandhyopasana as taught else where has got everything that we have got. But this point is clear, Master asserts that just as at the time of creation, now there is a small heat that is generated at Dawn, before sunrise, indicating us the type of consciousness that is possible at that time when we reach the base. This Dawn is some sort of reflection of that Dawn. That eternal day that now we are having, (the reverse process of Prakriti has not started), is going on. We are not concerned about when the Mahapralaya starts, as it is a far off future. There is a lot of literature on this, which is purely religious and we don't know how much of it is sensible. But it is certain that there is a time when there will be a withdrawal. We are not waiting for that withdrawal. If we wait for that withdrawal naturally we get back to the Base, with all our identity to come out again when the Kshob starts, now that we are not liberated. Please note the company of the Divine atMahapralaya does not grant us sayujya, it only grants you a place near that. The Bhagavad Lila or drama is closed temporarily. We will come out again. A hint to this we find in the "Talks on Essentials of Sahaj Marg" of Dr. Varadachari. "I do not know whether Prahlada will again be born?" he puts a question mark there and then leaves it there because they are all just vague. We don't have to go into that. But we are in a clear endeavour to annihilate the creation we made.
If we sum up, when the Kshob starts- the initial stir of the Divine is present, but around it the individual souls, who are there, come out of that dormant state. We have come out like that. Not content with our coming out we have created our own vrittis, and slowly we have come down. How was this possible? We find the clue to this in one of the commandments, how we got involved and formed several samskaras. The point to note is we come down; we have created ourselves, by attaching ourselves either to the beauty of the Mother or the beauty
