NAAM-SMARAN AND AWARENESS

Swajan :  Mota, you tell us to do naam-smaran and at the same time also tell us to be aware and ready. What should we be aware of and what kind of readiness are you asking from us?

Pujya Shree Mota :  Only the one who always wants to protect his aim in life and is aware and alert at the slightest hinderance in his aim, can get past this hindrance. We get the results of any work according to the level of effort that it is done with. So we should offer our works with intense joy, happiness, love, devotion, perfect concentration in our heart and with conscious awareness of "Hari om" in our heart and mind.

Only this kind of naam-smaran can be our real strength and make us aware of our nature. Any natural tendencies, our dealings, relationships and circumstances should be offered to Him with deep knowledge, devotion and awareness during naam-smaran. The soul that does this is always ready and aware. We should continue to offer all these with all our might in this Japa-yagna. We will definitely get the result of this Japa-yagna. Whenever old impressions arise in our mind from our past, do not get dragged in its currents. So be aware that these thoughts are from your past impressions and being entangled in it or it will lead you back to where you started. With this awareness, try to separate from the entanglements and offer them to God with a prayerful heart. Only this kind of practice will be helpful.
