Excerpts from "GLORY OF THE NAME"

 

The Name of the Lord should be repeated with all devotion. How to develop such devotion? It is the fruit of Guru's grace or God's grace. To be the recipient of that grace we should shake off laziness and practise Nama repetition constantly. Our part is to repeat the Name ceaselessly i.e. Shraddha and with firm faith i.e.patience. The repetition of Name should not be like a duty imposed on us. The aim of Satsang is to remind us of our invaluable human birth and the opportunity to take the Name.
