Swajan: Mota, I had a recent occasion of doing naam-smaran in a solitary space and that resulted in happiness. What should I make out of that?
Pujya Shree Mota: There are certain characteristics that develop in the mind from this happiness and naam-smaran while performing the works. Certain characteristics like peace, confidence, easiness and evenhandedness develop in mind and are maintained while performing works. There is not much stress in mind even in circumstances that usually disturb the peace of the mind. Mind seems to be above the disturbances within, like a piece of wood floating on the water. Sadhak should believe that the happiness resulting from naam-smaran is appropriate in sadhana only if he experiences such undisturbed mind in his life.
