The Master reveals that man is a bipolar being having its root nearest to the base and the other end towards the world. This allows man to experience both the divine as well as the mundane. When the mind is attached or involved with the world of manifestation, it is agitated, unhappy and unsteady. When somehow it is turned toward the cosmic mind and is given a dip into that condition it experiences peace and calmness and begins to appear in its true colour. Such a thing is possible because it owes its origin to the Kshoba or the first stir, which came into existence by the will of God to bring the creation into existence. The meaning of yoga is the establishment of the connection of the individuated mind to the first mind of God. But this is not possible for the individual mind to do this as it is in a degraded state encumbered as it is with the burden of attachments and is habituated to dwelling on the darker aspect of substance namely prakriti. Hence the dynamic hand of a Master firmly connected the Being behind the stir is a must for effecting the yoga. Such an attainment is not secured by mere reading or philosophizing, but firm faith, devotion and confidence is needed for success in this endeavour.

Dr K. C. Varadachari points out that the aspirant must form the idea of his original condition and his rootedness in the base, the other pole of his being, for generating the requisite dynamics in the process of this inward evolution or transformation. The idea is a subtle force or an urge, which moves not only the individual but also the Lord compelling Him to take note of the devotee seeking union and advancing towards Him. This twofold process the push from the aspirant, the result of his voluntary exertion and the attractive pull from the divine make for eventual attainment of the goal. The Lord is as much keen as the devotee to unite, rather more keen and is credited by those in the know of His ways with a restlessness to effect the union at the earliest. He is merely waiting as it were to see the arising of that ideational force or compulsive urge in the aspirant for getting back into the realms of the Ultimate, his long forgotten homeland.

The Master would like to emphasize the unique capacities of the human mind, which happens to be the only tool for the utilization of the enormous power possessed by man. He says mind of man is Nature's instrument, it is always alive and active and is quite different from the mind possessed by animals, which is of an inert character. Animals are not self-conscious, they have no idea of the present, past or future in the way humans do. They do not form impressions, as they cannot think. They have wired nervous systems so to speak, which enable them to respond to environmental stimuli for furthering their survival and reproduction. The human system can be considered to be a superset comprising in a generic sense, all the animal sensibilities or sensorium with the faculties of thinking, reasoning and feeling overlaid as if it were above the animal capacities. Modern genetics has confirmed that there is a universal family of likeness in the genes, the units of heredity, across all living organisms from the unicellular e.coli, through the fungus weed, the nematode worm, the fruit fly, the humble mouse and man. At the levels of instincts there is lot of commonality or perhaps even near identicality across the animal kingdom inclusive of man. This is in respect of hunger, thirst, sleep and sex. We may say that the body design in the functional sense is quite the same in nature in so far as the life process comprising birth, growth, multiplication and decay is concerned. However man is the acme of creation with well developed linguistic, reasoning and quantitative skills which have set him apart from the rest of creation to an extent that he appears to be a special descent with a unique role to play in nature. The skills mentioned have enabled man to evolve mutually beneficial community living manifesting what we term as culture or civilization and this feature has made the communication and subsequent exponential growth of knowledge possible across generations. This is patently impossible for other forms of life.

With his advanced mental capacities man can lift himself out of the present, fix up goals to be attained in the future, arrive at proper methods to achieve them and thus evolve much more rapidly as compared to the animals. Man exhibits free will, can conceive of his various desires and intentions, analyze them with reference to the goal, exercise discrimination as to what is conducive to the achievement of the goal and that which is not. He can practice control, postpone gratification, can develop aspiration for the attainment of goals placed far above those only directed towards the satisfaction of the primitive urges. He can evolve from the state of pashu, to a nara, a manava, a rishi or mantradrishta and push on further to live at still more refined levels of consciousness which make him godly. In comparison, the evolution of animals is painfully slow determined as, in the generally accepted view of Charles Darwin, it takes place only by the process of adaptation driven by forces of selection emerging from the changing environment. We may state that if a soul were to be trapped per chance in an animal frame it will be severely limited in the possibilities open to it for further evolution. On the other hand if it were to get a human body, it has the chance to evolve very rapidly. It has been said in the Hindu scriptures that the soul has to be born and suffer in 82 lakh yonis or bodies of plant, animal and so on before it is blessed with the human frame.

All this and more is possible for man the mind of man owes its origin to the first Stir and hence it is highly wrong on the part of the pseudo mahatmas to rail it in the worst possible terms not recognizing its real value and merit. Some of them think that it has to be destroyed for giving rise to the so-called Amanaska state considered to be a prerequisite for realization. On the contrary it is the original cosmic power in miniature form which has brought about the tiny creation of man. It is the same power at the root of everything. The Master reveals at this point a very revolutionary fact, namely, that God in His absolute state does not possess mind. For if He had one then He will be subject to samskars which is an unacceptable state of affairs.

Discussing further the potential of man we find the Master stating that every particle of the human body possesses tremendous power and the entire universe is closely connected with it. As the line of humanity unfolded during the process of manifestation, the flow of energy, which issued in the form of jerks from near the Centre, slowed down and congealed as if it were at several stages forming knots. The formation of twists and turns during the flow of the downward current also contributed to this. Action and reaction produced their own effects. The energy, which was in the very subtle form of the first mind, has finally been rendered in the grossest form of matter. The outward process of manifestation has been the same in the case of man and the external universe. Thus there is an intimate connection between man and the universe. If man becomes subtler and subtler he will be able to comprehend the subtler forces at play in the universe and will be in a position to control them if so willed by Nature. Of course this implies that such a man has first learned to control himself and has become sufficiently subtle so that the inner workings of Nature are transparent to him.

Similarly every point in the spinal column is filled with enormous power. According to a story in Hindu mythology, the Rishi, Dadichi makes a gift of his spinal cord suffused with power so that it could be used as a divine weapon called Vajrayudha in the hands of Indra, the king of the devas to kill the demon Vrithra. Every particle in the composition of the nucleus of the brain cells has enormous power in comparison with the kundalini of which so much is made by every one who steps into the arena of spiritual sadhana. The Master says that all this will slowly come to the understanding of posterity.
