The purpose of the japa is to maintain the living continuity of bhavana of shree Bhagwan continuously and with same intensity. Japa is only the tool. It helps to attain the goal and from that view point it is important. One who sticks to the tool only, never attains the goal. Only the one who maintains the tool with constantly keeping the goal in mind all the time, reaches the goal. The soul that does not practice any kind of tool or cannot maintain the spirit and thought of sadhana by any means will not be able to reach the desired goal. Even though, if it is not possible to do the japa with constant attention, tendency and inclination but if the purpose and spirit for doing the japa is kept alive during the workings and interactions during the day, it is japa only. Japa is physical but the bhavana arising out of it is important.
