EXPLORING METHODS
When we progress to higher level or there is inquisitiveness to achieve higher level, if we develop deep reflection and contemplation to go higher with the help of Prakruti, we can factually go higher. If we continue to do deep reflection and contemplation with Prakruti, we will continue to be in Prakruti. So, if we want to experience Chetan, increase interest in Chetan and develop tendency towards Chetan; we must do deep reflection and contemplation of the subject that is higher than Prakruti.
This defies logic. Prakruti is in our control. We have knowledge and understanding about it and it is possible to control it. At the same time, this Chetan cannot be grasped by our intellect. So, how can we do deep reflection and contemplation about it? What kind of concept needs to be developed? People had such questions. At this time, our people who have studied holy books and are experienced, studied the problem and determined that every Jiva has this problem and needs something concrete to practice. Just as characteristics of Prakruti are concrete and it is possible to have concrete grip on Prakruti. At the same time, it is not possible for Prakruti to have intellectual grip on Chatan. So it is true that we want to develop interest and liking for Chetan. So we need a tool that is higher than Prakruti. What kind of tool we have? What kind of tools can be understood by the intellect? People thought about it. Tool should be such that can be understood and practiced by common people. So they thought about Smaran of Bhagwan- Japa. In all the Yagnas, Japa-yagna is the best. But this may not be applicable to all.
