Swajan : I do naam-smaran but there is no real interest and delight in doing it. What are the reasons behind it?
Pujya Shree Mota : It is not possible to have this interest right away. When it is practiced continuously this interest and delight in doing naam-smaran definitely arises. We can never fall in love without coming in close contact with a person. It is similar to naam-smaran.
We should never surrender to any negative thoughts of life or natural tendencies that spring up while doing naam-smaran. Just let it pass by. We should maintain equanimity. It is of utmost importance to develop this practice in a most practical and effective way.
Always do naam-smaran with happiness and with a free spirit. Make sure that there is no sadness or unhappiness during naam-smaran.
