pour from a container so does prayer flow out of from our heart straight without any interruption. That it is a state of consciousness. We know, this is a gross example, but that is an approximation we are capable of.
The prayer usually starts on an individual level. Of course in a satsangh we naturally offer the same prayer in the plural. Instead of 'I' we use the word 'We', instead of 'me' we use the word 'us' in the form of prayer, given to us by the Master. But this is ordinary and routine that every day we say prayer like that. But there comes a stage in our own development while we offer the prayer we feel like not only to ask for ourselves but ask for whole humanity. That is a natural growth that comes to us when we use the words in the prayer in the plural. But that is not the Ultimate stage. The Ultimate stage is one of absolute balance and calmness, which we get, when we are in the state of prayer but are not aware that we are praying. However it is no small gain when we move in the state of prayer from 'I' to 'we'. It signifies that we have moved from 'Pind' to 'Brahmand'; that is a separate subject. Revered Babuji has also explained in this commandment, how through our action we came down from the Base, we have ourselves got involved in several things in what may be considered as the display of the Prakriti or Maya. By our own action we have come down is a concept that must be ingrained in us very deep. That is why the concept of Karma is brought for elucidation in this Commandment. The Fifth commandment tell us, why we should accept miseries as divine blessings. Rev Babuji links this particular commandment and the theory of karma in the Fifth commandment.
The diversion of the flow of thoughts from the lower levels of physical and vital planes due to our sadhana and the help throughPranahuti offered by the trainer in this system enables us to develop an awareness of our lower level and helps us conform to the instruction given in this commandment.
