Naam-smaran is the best instrument to nudge the mind out of its beaten track. If naam-smaran is added to the thoughts in the mind , then it will definitely reduce the force, effect and impressions of those thoughts in the mind and also will change the final outcome of those thoughts. This needs to be done at that instant, with utmost sincerity of mind and heart. When some antidote is added to poison, it looses its potency and becomes less effective and that may give different result than without this antidote. Similarly we can be free from the clutches of worldly affairs, if we add lively naam-smaran to all the activities of mind and by the mind (with understanding and bhaavna ). One can not be free from anything without changing the nature of the mind. For this reason, all religions of the world give so much importance to training of the mind.
