168 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Guru: Like, when a daughter is married, she starts loving her husband.
When she gets married Le. when she gets engrossed in the love ofher husband,
then she doesn't have to do any practice to detach herself from the parents.
The attachment to the husband itself distances her from the parents. Similarly,
when you start loving the Lord, or so to say, get attached to the Lord, you
automatically get distanced from what is not the Lord.
Bhartari: What is the way to get enhTfossed with the Lord?
Guru: EnhTfossment is the love for the Lord in your mind, all the time. For
loving one doesn't require a way. But then you see, when we love someone
we remember him always. So, 'Remembrance' is the form of love in our
mind.
So, we have to remember the Lord with whom we wish to be enhTfossed
in love all the time. We have to remember Him as a beloved 'my love'. If, one
can remember the Lord incessantly then it is well and good, but if one is not
able to remember Him all the time, then by recitation of His name the
remembrance becomes incessant.
We recite the Name with love. By recitation of Name we remain in
remembrance ofthe Lord. This remembrance gives a sensation ofthe presence
of the Lord in our mind and body.
The Name that we recite is of the Lord. By recitation, the Name goes
down in the sub-conscious mind. The sensation of the Name enhTfosses us
with the Lord in the form of love. It settles deep in our mind and body, and
keeps us immersed in the love of the Lord incessantly. All this is Name.
In this way, the body soul automatically becomes crystal and merges with
the Supreme Soul.
Bhartari (after deep thoughts): Yes, remembrance and love, they are corelated.
But, how does the mind become crystal and how does it concentrate?
Guru: The outer mind and the intuitive mind of everybody are full of
dirt, the dirt of the vices and worldly passions. This dirt is washed by Name
only. When we recite the Name ofthe most sacred Lord, then our mind gets a
feeling of'He is there' and his sacred goodness. The thinking ofthe goodness
of the Lord washes the dirt of the mind.
When a person thinks of vices then his mind becomes dirty. Similarly,
when you remember the goodness of the Lord your mind becomes clean.
Bhartari: Won't you give some example?
Guru: If a person keeps talking ofghosts, evil spirits, demons, snakes etc,
then at night he gets terrifying dreams.
Bhartari: Yes, now I have understood correctly.
