Not only worldly thoughts but also thoughts such as, ‘I am doing japa. When will I see the Lord?’ should not arise

Nama article 12th February 2008

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

Namakirtan is Mediation - 3

 

How should one utter this? There should be no thought between one Rama Nãma and the next Rama Nãma. We should utter this within the mind without any worldly or other thoughts.

 

Not only worldly thoughts but also thoughts such as, 'I am doing japa. When will I see the Lord?' should not arise.

 

Thinking only of the 'Nãma' (the Name of the Lord) while doing 'Its' japa without any other thought is called dhyana.
