In the Name of God

Me : Why do spiritual Masters and Saints speak about chanting the Divine Name ? Almost all ancient scriptures unfailing speak about it. Why is this so important for a seeker ? 

Voice : Often you have walked alone in the mountains and you have reached villages you have never been to, but how is it that you have never really lost your way ? 

Me : That's because there is always a natural trail to follow. 

Voice : Who made these trails ? 

Me : With repetitive walking on the same path, I guess ?

Voice : Thats correct. Repetitive footprint on the same path created a trail on it's own. And now, it holds good in the harshest weather and the pathway remains for everyone to follow for years. It's the same with chanting the Divine Name. 

Every time you repeat God's name you are gradually creating a divine pathway from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind. Over time you subjugate unfavourable impressions in your mind and are no longer held captive by them. You clear your path to Divinity. The longer and deeper the repetition, the faster you create this divine pathway.   

Just as you remove a thorn embedded in your foot with a needle, you create a new impression to remove the unwanted ones. 

So every time God’s name shoots up into the conscious mind, the barrier between the conscious and subconscious mind gets stronger to prevent unwanted impressions to take charge of you. This is a powerful remedy for those who wish to live their life from Divine awareness instead of being helplessly ruled by the lower Self. 

Me : Just by simply taking God's name ? 

 

Voice :  Yes, and its very simplicity goes against it. 

Me : True. And would it not get too mechanical sometimes ? 

Voice : It is natural for chanting to appear mechanical in the beginning, because of the thick layers of impressions that you have gathered since ages. But over time if persisted, chanting God's name will open open your heart and it will no more remain mechanical. Love will be the motive of everything you do.  

Me : Hmm

Voice : Repeated thought or action forms an impression that if reinforced becomes a strong centre in your mind that governs you. This repeated chanting of the Divine Name will help create a devotion centre within your consciousness. Just the way repeated strides on a  grassy land creates a pathway.  

The name of God holds power beyond your imagination. True seekers of God know it and live it.  

Me : Wow 

Voice : It is you alone choosing what to fill your mind with every moment and that in turn is shaping your consciousness. 

Is God on your mind ??
