The practical technical use of Declarations belongs only to the elementary or intermediate stages of the path. When their purpose of reminding man of his true self is fulfilled by every event, every happening, every situation in a man's life, then he is said to have reached the advanced stage of mantra-yoga. At this stage, there is nothing too trivial to act as a reminder of the higher helpfulness to which the Quest leads. Everything can then be accepted as presented symbolically to the traveller.
