Page 43 - Liberal Exposition of Pranahuti Aided Meditation

other hand SriRamchandraji Maharaj says you take this particular thing (Divine light without luminosity) because it is Divinity that has to work now with you. You must have at least this much of a sankalpa that Divinity is in you, then only the influx becomes possible. Pranahuti and the meditation method given in this system are interlinked. On the other hand if you think about some God as one gentleman said that he has counted some numbers, if I am right, 108 or something like that, numbers, he said. Yes, you can meditate on numbers, just go on telling 1 to 100, you will have calmness. Not necessary, you go on telling 1 only you will have calmness. For all these things there is enough research to substantiate, your mind will be in a state of calm and what they call, the alpha waves seem to be coming even when you have got 1 as the object of attention. Yes, researches are available but that is not what we are seeking. What we are seeking is a harmonious living, a blended living, a living with the Divine along with all others, not to the exclusion of others. To be with the Divine along with others is what we are asking for. Exclusion is for the sanyasi, totally only these people, there is no God, there is no necessity for God also, but balanced existence, an existence of equanimity, a balanced existence becomes possible only when Divinity is allowed to have its sway over you. It should sway over you, it should also guide you every second saying this is what is right. It should be in a position to do but then Divinity is neither a Durga, nor a Lalitha, nor a Venkateswara nor a Ganapathi. It is not all that. All of them put together will make a very grotesque picture. You will not be in a position to meditate on that. You put all the gods together, all gods’ pictures I mean. There is nobody who has seen all the gods. There is only one God that I know but we have got so many gods’ pictures. All of them put together one. I had a joke long long back when I used to draw some.
- Aravinda dalayathaksha , put some lotus eye.
- Ajaanubaahum, then you have got long hands almost like a chimpanzee you put long hands.
- Put blue colour, meghashyama
- Beautiful long hair, Keshava means only that. A person who has got beautiful hair.
You put all these things then see what picture emerges. If that is the position with only certain adjectives that I am talking about, if you were to think about all the
