It is also in action when we are awake, asleep or even in dreams. The Mantra of Adimata Chandika i.e

ll ॐ ऎं ह्रीम क्लींम चमुण्डायै विच्चे ll acts as the torchbearer of this Gurukshetram Mantra.

This Mantra clears your future path and acts on your present,future,also on the past.It performs the function of ending Obstructions (बाधा), sins (पाप) and wraths (कोप) in life of its follower.

In the second para, Bapu explained that Lord Ram is our Atmaram (soul) and His soul is Lord Dattatrey.Lord Hanuman is Shri. Ram's life (Pran, प्राण) and in turn Lord Hanuman is our Mahapran.

ll ॐ रामतनु-श्रीअनिरुध्दाय नमः ll the last line of this para says Bapu is a living Ramnaam (रामनाम) i.e. name of Lord Ram.It also says that Bapu is the embodiment of Ramnaam.

Bapu is with those who performs Purushartha - पुरुषार्थ. and supports those who attempt things regardless of the result.He doesn't support who relies on destiny and do not take efforts.

ll श्रीगुरुक्षेत्र-उन्मीलन मन्त्र ll in the last paragraph means blossoming.The desirous of accepting this mantra has to recite this mantra in front of Sadguru Bapu or his Image,saying that, "Baou I have taken this as my Guru Mantra (बापू मी हा मन्त्र गुरुमन्त्र म्हणून घेतला)".

However,Bapu clears that this mantra's action depends on the belief, love and bhakti of the performer. Bapu also said that once one accepts this Mantra as his Gurumantra, he becomes 50% best over others.
