Swajan : Mota, I do understand you regarding naam-smaran and self narration to God. But no real interest develops in it. Mind gets attracted to beauty and is being pulled into other desires and pleasures. How do I use naam-smaran in this situation?
Shree Mota : We should offer whatever is within us to the entity that we have decided to inspire and guide us in our progress. There will be less trust if it is not done. It is comparable to the worker giving the report of the whole day to the owner and then feeling the relief as a result. Sadhak should do the same and only then he can remain stress free, easy going and open hearted.
Continue the thing that you comprehended while doing Hari Om Japa. Japa is lot more vibrant and effective if it done from within. Try taking a lot more interest in it. We should be as excited as our profession or business and some more. Someone may ask "what can I do if there is no excitement in Japa?" Well, you do not get excited initially in the business as well, but that changes fast when you start getting interested and making money. We will get involved in Japa just as well and our interest will increase in it too. We will also get new understanding and vision as we get involved in Japa. Our heartfelt aim is to get more and more involved in Japa and get deeper and deeper into it.
The tendency of the mind towards the beauty cannot be reduced fast. Mind will stop taking interest in the pleasures of the world only with difficult penance and when mind settles in the divine consciousness. One who does not want to be attracted towards the beauty should do constant naam-smaran. But even this may not be enough to divert the mind. Only the fortunate one who has intense desire in the heart to not be controlled by mind, may be able to do so. We should be able to comprehend all the thoughts and be able to understand the roots of the thoughts. We should do this with naam-smaran as a main focused tool and giving it the utmost importance.
It is a kind of energy when old desires get intensified. This energy gets wasted when it flows through its old beaten track. If this energy is used with knowledge in the opposite direction, we get more in touch with divine consciousness. To do this we should not surrender to the this force of natural tendencies. At that time we should offer these desires and natural tendencies to Bhagwan with prayerful heart and awareness constantly. Only then the desires and the attraction to beauty will not flow in its beaten track and slowly loose its strength and we will transform or sublimate our nature to that extent. So truth of the matter is that if you remember to do this at the time it is needed, it will be definitely beneficial. This work is not for impatient person. It demands tremendous patience, great endurance, irrepressible enthusiasm and unlimited awareness from us.
