Harold Klemp, the spiritual leader of Eckankar, shares stories, and examples and explains the term Mahanta as follows: "Eckankar has two parts to it, the inner and the outer teachings. The outer teachings include Eckankar public talks by Harold Klemp, books by Harold Klemp, and other writings by Harold Klemp. The inner teachings are the greater part of this path. Here Eckankar includes such things as dream travel - in other words, your dreams, Soul Travel, and the ECK Vidya–which means in contemplation where you get an insight into your own future or other things that are helpful to you, if and when the occasion warrants. The two parts of Eckankar also have the two parts of the Master: the outer and inner Master. The greater part of this teaching is the inner Master, and this is the Mahanta. It is a state of consciousness."
