Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 73. While doing repetition (japa) of the name of God, there is one thing, called "love," which is to be mingled with it. If one knows correctly the way to do japa (repitition of a mantra, etc.), uniting love with the name of God, the result attained by that repetition will be not only one-pointedness of mind, that japa will bestow upon one the deathless state of union with God. 74. Uniting love with the name of God is giving of oneself, the ego "I," as an offering to His feet. Love is we, and the name is He. Thus, uniting love with His name is offering our ego-self to Him, which is the principle of self-surrender (saranagati-tattva). By such self-surrender, the state of Self-abidance is attained. -- Sri Sadhu Om ( a disciple of Ramana Maharshi) Hari Aum !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
