Heartfulness – July 2019

revealed knowledge gets us nowhere unless we make an attempt to traverse

the inner path the wise ones have traveled, making that knowledge our own.

Much of what science has begun to understand about consciousness has already

been mapped and codified by ancient spiritual scientists, such as the Vedic

seers. The most comprehensive map of consciousness has, however, been passed

on to us by the great 20th century yogic Master, Ram Chandra, also known as

Babuji, through his writings and oral teachings. In a recent book, Designing

Destiny, Kamlesh Patel (Daaji) has presented some of these teachings and also

added his own research on all matters related to the evolution of consciousness.

But these writings of the yogic Masters are only signposts. All serious students

of consciousness have to undertake the journey for themselves. This is the

ancient way – the contemplative journey informed by intuition, insight and the

helping hand of the great ones who have traversed that path.

The first step in this journey is to go beyond the realm of matter (Maya) through

a series of steps into the quantum field of the mind. For this we have to overcome

both the weak force – the gravity created by likes and dislikes, attachments

and aversions – as well as the strong force – the quantum force exerted by ego
