How did Hemadpant experiment encouraging Good thoughts?

 

Some Saint has said, that when you get a good thought, immediately

after awakening from sleep, and if you develop the same afterwards

during the day, your intellect will be unfolded and your mind will

attain calmness.

 

Hemadpant wanted to try this. On one Wednesday night before going to

bed, be thought - " To-morrow is Thursday - an auspicious day and the

place, viz. Shirdi, is so holy; so let me pass the whole day in

remembering and chanting the Rama-nama, and then he slept. Next

morning when he got up he remembered without any effort the name of

Rama and was much pleased. He then, after finishing his morning

duties, went to see Baba with flowers. When he left Dixit's Wada,

and was just passing Booty's Wada (present Samadhi-mandir) he heard

a beautiful song that was being sung nicely by one Aurangabadkar, in

the Masjid before Baba. The song was Guru - kripanjan payo mere

bhai " etc. by Ekanath, in which he says that he got collyrium in the

form of Guru's grace which opened his vision and made him see Rama,

in and out, in sleep, dream, and waking state and everywhere. There

were so many songs; and why was this song particularly chosen by

Aurangabadkar, a devotee of Baba? Is this not a curious coincidence

arranged by Baba to feed the determination of Hemadpant to sing

unceasingly Rama-nama, during the day?

 

All Saints agree on and lay stress upon the efficacy of uttering

Rama's (God's) name, in fulfilling the ambitions of the Bhaktas and

in protecting and saving them from all calamities.
