Someone may ask; "Mota, you are just bluffing. We do naam-smaran but it does not seem to have any effect". My answer is; there is a need for certain level of progress for flourishing of the naam-smaran. So if we are really doing naam-smaran it requires fulfillment of certain conditions. It requires the awareness of right and wrong with the sense of discretion in our behavior towards others. So there has to be reduction in attachments and hatred (રાગદ્વેષ) for flourishing of naam-smaran. We have been constrained by all kinds of prejudice, ego and jealousy. There will be fast progress and flourishing of the bhavna of Bhagwan if we reduce these constraints. So if we really want to taste the fruits of our efforts of naam-smaran, we must reduce the grip of attachments, hate and prejudice. There is no way out of this but to reduce attachments and hate to enhance the naam-smaran of Bhagwan. We need to look for and find these constraints within us to reduce their grip on us. So the genuine sadhak needs to have eagerness to be free of these restraints, be aware of it and make an effort to be free from it.
