Now I am asked to talk about the efficacy of this system. The efficacy of this system is, first two things have to be taken into consideration. One is your own effort and other is the help of the Master in your meditation. I can say with enormous confidence and practical knowledge about it, that this is the only system where we give the assistance of the Master throughout your progress. This does not start with a course and end with giving a mantra after some time nor by prescribing a method at a particular time but it is a continuous life long association that we seek with you, because you are seeking life long association with the Divine and the Divine must help you throughout. We ensure that you feel the presence of the Divine till the end. This is felt by the Pranahuti, which is an experience that you will go through and you will know the nearness of God. Everybody has told that God is in the heart, everybody has told that there is no exception to this but to make you feel that calmness even momentarily was something that was not there in the earlier periods. Here, because of the influx of Pranahuti, you do feel that and it is for you to feel and practice. So that aspect of it is to be taken into consideration while we discuss the efficacy of Rajayoga in this system.

These are all the four components of our mind. This buddhi is connected with our school

subject such as (A+B) - all such knowledge you can put it straight into that because
there is no consequence, there is no feeling connected with it. It is something, some mathematics, 1234 - whatever it is you know that, you don’t know that. People perhaps now a days recognize people only with this capacity ignoring other three. The self-respect aspect of it, this has come here actually self (ego). Then the manas is predominant feelings of yours that you have. This is what is guiding us. It is only for satisfying the parents’ interest that we go for some course.
