AFTER several lives of search, purification, service and self-sacrifice a soul has the good fortune to meet and get connected with a God-realised Master. Entering circle of Master After several lives of close connection with the Master and love and service for the Master, he enters into his Circle. Those who have entered into the Circle of a Master are the souls who, through their efforts, have acquired the right (Adhikar) of having God-realisation. When the exact moment for realisation arrives, they attain it through the Grace of the Master.
All actions in the world of duality are prompted by sanskaras of duality. Consciousness of duality implies the working of the impressions of duality. Function of impressions of duality These impressions of duality first serve the purpose of evolving and limiting consciousness, and then they serve the purpose of liberating it so as to facilitate Self-knowledge or God-realisation. The soul cannot attain consciousness of its own unity unless it goes through the experiences of duality which presuppose and require corresponding impressions of duality.
From the very beginning till the very end, the soul is subject to the momentum of impressions which con-
stitute the destiny of the soul. These impressions are called Prarabdha Sanskaras. Prarabdha Sanskaras These Prarabdha Sanskaras always relate to the opposites of experience, e.g., the sanskaras of greed and its opposite, the sanskaras of lust and its opposite, the sanskaras of anger and its opposite, the sanskaras of bad thoughts, words and deeds and their opposites.
From the stage of the atom till the stage of the realisation of God, the soul is bound by the impressions of duality, and all that happens to it is determined by these impressions. Disappearance of sanskaras When the soul gets realisation of God, all its sanskaras disappear. If it remains immersed in the experience of Divinity without coming back to normal consciousness of the world of duality, it remains eternally beyond all types of sanskaras. It does not have any sanskaras and cannot have any.
If the God-realised soul returns to normal consciousness of the world of duality, it gets a universal mind. In the universal mind with which it is endowed, it also gets superfluous and unbinding sanskaras which are known as Yogayoga Sanskaras. Yogayoga Sanskaras of universal mind In the Beyond state the Master is eternally free from all sanskaras, and even when he is conscious of creation and is working in creation, he remains unbound by the Yogayoga Sanskaras, which sit loosely upon his universal mind. The Yogayoga Sanskaras merely serve as channels for his universal work. They do not form a restricting chain to his consciousness.
The Yogayoga Sanskaras are automatic in their working. All the specific contacts and links to which the Man-God responds in his working are ultimately based upon these Yogayoga Sanskaras. These Yogayoga Sanskaras
