During this Kaliyuga (age of moral decline), two Sadhanas (spiritual disciplines) are important Namam and Danam. Namam means the name of the Lord. It must activate every thought, word and deed and render them full of Love. It can certainly lead man to the vision of the bearer of the Name. The Name, the sound is the material which can reveal the non-material, the jada or inert which is the door to the Chaitanya or awareness enshrined in it. This is the purpose of the Sadhana – to recognise both the Kshetra (Field) and the Kshetrajna (the Master of the field) as the Lord. Danam, the second Sadhana, means gifting, caring and sharing. The gift of food to the hungry gives immediate contentment and relieves the pangs of hunger. Annam Brahma (Food is Divine) says the Upanishad. Gifts are to be given without inflating the ego of the giver or deflating that of the receiver. They should be offered with understanding, humility and love! – Divine Discourse, Feb 26, 1987.
