Absolute purity free from all impurities (mala). Distortions (vikshepa) and coverings (avarana). Thus, our attention being directed towards the attainment of purity of that highest level, we began to imitate it in all outward ways, cleaning of the body. The external ways adopted for the purpose began to cast their effect upon the mind and thus the internal purity too began to develop. By following it we begin to draw in power, which we have finally to attain in due course.

A lighter thing always tends to rise upwards or in other words it moves towards its source. Thus everything that comes into activity by the effect of the Divine flow tends to fly towards the Origin. Man has also inherited the same tendency, so when his downward tendency is checked, the thought of reaching the Origin automatically revives in his heart.

There is a great difference between Nature's heat and that caused by the sun. The former, which originates from Reality is totally devoid of materiality, whereas the latter which originates from a comparatively material source is heavier.

Prayer is the sign of devotion. It shows that we have established our relationship with the Holy Divine.

This is the connecting link between the Master and the serf.

The reason why prayer should be offered with a heart full of love and devotion is that one should create within himself a state of vacuity so that the flow of Divine Grace may be diverted towards him. This state is acquired when an Abhyasi practises in the way directed above and Divine Grace is set into motion. The state of prayer is that of a devotee and it is strengthened by love

It is very essential for everyone to fix his thought, at the very outset, upon the goal, which he has to attain so that his thought and will may pave his way upto it.

How this most difficult problem was so easily solved by virtue of the correctness of our goal and the firmness of determination may not now be difficult to understand. Intense longing or extreme impatience, which forces our passage on to it, just as the Latent Motion did at the time of creation

Simplicity is the very essence of Nature. It is the reflection of that which existed in the Absolute in a latent state. It promotes growth. It can be aptly described as the quintessence of the Ultimate,

The perfect calmness that existed before creation was disturbed by the effect of the Stir (Kshobh), which led to the formation of forms. Since all created things had brought with them a reflection of the real power, their actions were also similar to those of the cosmic powers, which were set into motion by the effect of the Stir. Thus a spider's web began to be formed. Every particle in its composition possessed the power, and will continue to do so till the time of its return to the Origin comes.

One must go on reducing the activities, shaking off all superfluities that have entered into his being, for the purpose of shattering his individual net-work and assuming the purest state one has finally to acquire.

Truthfulness really implies the sense of presenting one's own self in its true colours. This is the state at which a man exclaims spontaneously. It is as it is

We cultivate a habit of truthfulness so that our actions and dealings may be in consonance with he state related above and just as it is in the dealings of Nature. Do not complain of sorrow, because it is far from etiquette. Happiness cannot be had without undergoing sufferings

Truly speaking, we ourselves are the makers of fate. When we do something by applying our head and heart we form impressions thereof at the base, which remain there in seed-form till they are washed off by the effect of Bhogam (the process of undergoing the effects).

The external help comes in the form of suffering caused by the wrongs done by others, against which the people generally poison their thought on account of their own ignorance.

Thus it is now quite evident that anything that comes to us for our ultimate good, may it be from any medium, fills our heart with delight and promotes in us a sense of gratitude.

A happy disposition is a state, which percolates its effect upon the lower layers and purifies them. This is a state which may aptly be taken as that next to the Divine.

At the time of taking our food, the effect filters down on the substance, which is there. When we eat it, the effect taken in by it enters our body and begins to spread all through our veins and arteries. In other words we have utilised to our best purpose the thing which we take in from outside. The particles and atoms of the body begin to get purified. The impulse of thought created thereby combines with the food, and helps to promote our physical and spiritual health. The power of Prana being all pervasive, nothing is free from its influence.

We get power from our thought. It happens only when we create perfect harmony between things of our making and those of the Divine.It is obvious that when a thing made of clay comes before us we take a different view of it, and our liking for it is increased in comparison to the mass of clay which it is made up of. Similarly when a man approaches God after proper making of himself, He takes a different view of him. This goes to explain that we should effect such a making of ourselves as may help us to become the cynosure of His eyes. This dealing of Nature we have to copy and apply in our daily life.

This example must be kept in view and all our dealings must be moulded accordingly, with due regard to proper needs and fair right of everyone, and bring them in close conformity with those of Nature.

Human perfection lies in realising the Master as Master in true sense, and oneself as His slave devoted entirely to His service.A devotee is concerned with nothing but the Master's close attention towards him, and his own nearness to Him.

When one has accepted Him as the Master he can lay before Him every wrong committed unknowingly by him or anything that might be against the principle, in the capacity of one feeling guilty.

Absolutely free from Mala (impurities), Vikshep (unreal projections) and Avarana (layers of grossness). Thus it goes to mean that we acquire this state of highest purity by establishing the relationship of devotion.

The feeling of humilty, which may as well be expressed as a state of supplicancy, covers within it the condition of innocence. One who attains it has in a way attained all, though apparently it may not seem to be so. In that case the mistake no longer remains a mistake, since it has been washed off completely.

It appears in the form of repeated prayers to the great Master for granting him a state of contentment to serve as a safeguard against repetition.

It is also considered to be better to do this at bed-time, because one is then free from all engagements and the only point in one's view is that of rest and repose. In other words, one finds himself in a comparatively free state. This freedom may also be interpreted as Nature's state of contentment. Thus in a way we acquire conformity with atleast one of the aspects of Nature.

This is the reason why prayer at bed-time is more effective, and actions done accordingly are all well adjusted. We must therefore derive the greatest benefit from time, and take up the work suited for the hour
