The Name no doubt lies within the sphere of relativity of Maya, but a Maya leading to the sphere beyond Maya.

Nama Article 29th May 2014

 

The Name no doubt lies within the sphere of relativity of Maya, but a Maya leading to the sphere beyond Maya. To borrow a line from Sundaradasa, it is the Anjana (by pun the unguent of Maya) which reveals the Niranjana (The Absolute) - अंजन सो जो निरञ्जन सूझै   

 

अनादिनिधनं ब्रह्म शब्दतत्त्वं निरञ्जनम् ।

विवर्त्ततेऽर्थभावेन प्रक्रिया जगतो यतः ॥ (वाक्यपदीय, ब्रह्मकाण्ड,१)

 

Sabda (Divine Name) is Niranjana (non- attached), eternal. The whole world is running with the artha (meaning) of this sabda only.

If you wish for eternal silence ('nishabda') of your mind, you have to produce a sound ('shabda') - and that sound is that of the Mahamantra.

 

If we are immersed in Divine Name it will lead to silence

 

The ego, the mind has to be made silent. Chanting works on ego and dissolves it into its source

 

Let us say that on the compound wall of our house some dirty posters have been pasted. What should we do to stop this? We should paste a poster reading, 'do not paste any poster on this wall.'

 

Sound and Space

 

The more intense our love for Him, our remembrance becomes automatically more and more continuous and unbroken, because it is our nature to remember that which we love most

 

Japa - Recalling thou name in silence, through the mind and the inner self
