The Lord (Almighty God) of the universe is the treasure of Divine Power, Kindness and Excellence. God is
limitless and so vast that over centuries none has and none can describe Him. Thousands of saints. yogis. sages, religious leaders/preachers and
scholars have meditated, searched and researched
but have concluded that God can not be described but can be realised only through sincere prayers and deep
meditation. They say that God is pleased only by those who
align themselves fully with Him and always sing songs of His praise. Our
religious Gurus tell us that when God is pleased with our sincere meditation
(remembrance) on His Naam, He shows His Mercy, Kindness and bless us with
unlimited gifts of joy, good health and success. This helps us to get rid of all pains and sorrows and He
showers upon us abundance of gifts to see us happy and successful in our life. Our all sages,
spiritual Gurus and saints have advised us through their scriptures to regularly meditate (quietly repeating ) the Naam of God, both during day and night..
This Naam is not the title or name of God but just one easily pronounceable word as per your
religion or faith. Such a simple word could be like—God /Christ/ Krishna/ Ram/
Buddha /Shiva/ Allah/ Waheguru. All Holy saints assure us that if we regularly
chant and meditate on His Naam, we will get immense bliss. They also advise us to meditate while living a
normal family life and there is no need to run away into jungles, mountains and
caves to worship God. It is not to give up our daily activity in-home or
workplace We can meditate and sing songs of His praise
while doing our job/ business. It is important
to stay mentally attached to God and He will show the way to do the rest. One
must not postpone meditation for old age when one thinks he/she will be free from worldly duties. Let us make early
beginning when we are “healthy, wealthy and wise”. It is well recorded in Holy scriptures and even
said in person by many prophets /saints/Gurus that the pains of birth, death and reincarnation all
will be erased by meditating on the Naam of Lord (the God almighty). Saints advise us to meet and sit together (congregation)
, to pray and enjoy the holy songs of God’s praise. This act will wipe
away our bad deeds/ sins of the past and will guide us towards the righteous
path for the future. Group prayers are
common in churches, temples and Gurdwaras. It does help all those who are
present there and pray sincerely (mind not wandering around). With such prayer/meditation, our all bad
elements of lust, greed, anger, attachment, haughtiness
will come under control and all obstacles are removed. In the court of God, only
those are accepted and appreciated, who unconditionally dedicate their souls,
bodies and wealth in the name of God.
Various Sages advise us to make a
sincere effort for peaceful living by chanting and meditating on the Naam of
God. They assure us that bestowing His
Mercy, God will bless us with the True Order of His Command. Always remember to
pay gratitude to God as He has blessed all of us with a great destiny. A simple way
is to surrender ourselves and live in His will. With this, we lessen our burden
of worries and let God take control these
. By this way we will be happy, at peace; and all our doubts and fears will get
dispelled. God is our Master and He is the greatest of all. He is the Creator,
the Cause of causes; He is ever (past, present and future)True. We must Maintain full faith in God under all
circumstances and never waiver during difficult times. which is part of our
life journey.
The Guru repeatedly advises us to meditate in
remembrance of God, and find peace. By this act of ours, all worries and anguish shall be dispelled from our body.
Remember to praise the One ( God) who is omnipresent, omnipotent and pervades
the whole Universe. His Name is chanted in so many ways by countless people of
various religions/faiths living many where. The Vedas, the Puranas and the
Simritees, and holy books containing purest of utterances, were created from the
One Word of the Name of the Lord. By remembering God, one is not touched by fear,
sorrow, pain, sickness or death. God blesses them with wealth, miraculous
spiritual powers and the nine treasures, knowledge, essence of wisdom and
their all hopes are fulfilled and the mind is cleaned of all clutter. In the remembrance of God, duality is removed and one gets the honour in the Court of the
Lord.
Those who remember God, they are
calm and composed with a glow on their faces and they generously help others. Those who meditate ( Remember ) on Naam of God, their
works are accomplished, they never grieve even under the grave situation. While remembering God, one is absorbed into
the state of trance and intuitive ease.
There is no counting required as to how
much you should meditate. Instead, keep
meditating day and night and for whole
life because this is the best opportunity
given by God to follow the path of righteousness and attain the ultimate
solvation.
Remembering the Lord, the Vedas
were composed, people become Yogis, Saints, Siddhas, Lamas, Celibates, Givers,
Religious Leaders and the lowly become
known in all four directions. Let us make a quick start to regularly meditate
and sing holy songs of His praise and stay blessed.
Note :[ I am myself a beginner in reading Holy scriptures
in an attempt to put down my understanding /thoughts, which may benefit those
who are short of time. I express my sincere regards for all and any wrongly worded
expression in this blog is my ignorance.]
