Sant Kabir

 

सतगुर मार्या बाण भरि, धरि करि सूधी मूठि ।

अंगि उघाड़ै लागिया, गई दवा सूँ फूंटि ।।

 

Sathguru threw the arrow of God's name aiming the disciple with full force. That pierced the disciple in such a way that the forest fire of knowledge and separation from God flamed up in which all sensualities have been burnt in to ashes.

What does this Lord's Name that is got through Guru Upadesa, do?

 

Mahamantra can be chanted anytime, anywhere and by anyone. However it gives multi-fold benefits if chanted after initiation from a Guru.

 

Likewise, when a person, however impure he may be, when touched by the initiation of a Guru, he is purified.

 

Do not give up chanting of any Naama of Bhagavaan that you have been chanting on your own. This will certainly lead you to a Sadguru who will give 'upadesa' (initiation) of a Mantra

 

For the un-initiated, it is important to be initiated. However, you do not need to wait until you get initiated by a proper Guru
