306 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
In this enbITossment, one gets a touch of the Supreme soul. Then the
body soul meets the Supreme soul. Both meet and in a way become one.
This is the state of the mind being out of the wheel and with a control on
the steering. In this state of mind when one does service and philanthropy
then no rust comes.
Why? The mind is immersed in the Lord's love. When it does some
outwardly piOUS work, then it does not get attached to it.
YOb>i: You have said that the remedy is the recitation of the Lord's Name.
Is this practice superior to other practices?
Guru: All practices are done with some idea.
Narne is universal. It is above all practices.
The incessant remembrance turns the mind inwardly to tranquility and
enbITosses the mind in the incessant love ofthe Lord.
Being engrossed in the love ofthe Lord keeps the mind in elevation and
detached from worldly desires. Being in the forgetfulness of the Lord, the
mind wanders outwardly towards passions of the body. The incessant
remembrance keeps the mind turned inwardly ceaselessly. The incessant
remembrance keeps the mind in constant touch with the Lord.
This incessant remembrance keeps the mind away from ego imperceptibly.
If the ego shows its face, then this incessant remembrance perceives the
same and shunts the ego away and brings purity in mind. Like, a flOWing river
does not allow anything to stop in front and does not allow any dirt to collect.
YOb>i: Even in yoga scriptures it is mentioned 'Swadhiaye' which means
'recite the Name'. This is the first practice, but the yogis interpret its meaning
as 'reading the scriptures'.
Now, after listening to your intellectual discourse, I realize that it means
Name. It is quite clear 'Recite the Name'.
(Heaving a Sigh) But alas! How can one understand anything without a
prophet arriving? You are surely from the heavens. Please bless me.
Guru: For everything there is an appropriate requirement.
Like, for I,ITowing, wheat requires cold weather and for ripening, it requires
heat. Similarly, for initiation into Name one requires the blessings ofthe Guru
and for practice, the requirement is holy company.
By remembrance ofName one gets the Lord's nectar. This is eternal bliss.
This is sacred nectar. Then the snake of desires or the snake of ego cannot
bite you and when your soul leaves the body the messengers of death cannot
even turn their eyes towards you.
Yogi: I feel ecstasy.
