🌹 *NAMASMARANA*🌹 *EFFICACY OF NAMASMARANA* *Prakrithi or Nature is a very ancient entity; it is Purathana. The Jivi too is Purathana, having had many previous entries and exits. But now it has come in with a new dress; it is Nuthana, come like a pilgrim to a holy place for going the rounds. The Jivi must have a guide who will show the sacred spots and help fulfill the pilgrimage. That guide is the Lord Himself: the Guide-books are the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Sastras. The essence of the scriptures lies in this one rule: “Repeat the name of the Lord, keeping His Glory always before the mind.” — Ref: SSS Vol I Ch 9 [Examine, Experience] p58-59* – *BABA*🙏 #sathyasai #saibhakta
