A great philosopher said, “First find yourself, then find the world, then look for the world”, no? So, once you have found yourself, then you become a jivan mukti, you become free from the bondage of karmic things. Then you can do whatever you want, as much as you want:
nothing will bind you. But as long as you have not found
yourself, keep trying, keep looking, and the Divine name of Rama will
help you, or the Divine name of Krishna, the Divine name of Jesus,
all the Divine names will help you to find that. That’s why they
say that the bhakti path is one of the easiest paths, but you have
to dedicate yourself. It’s not that the next moment, you just divert
your mind from your path; or a little wind blows, and you let
yourself fall from left to right. So, hold tight to the Divine names, any Divine name that
you feel close to – you don’t need to have ten Divine names,
you just need one Divine name. If you have a guru mantra, just
chant your guru mantra; if you have one Divine name, one form of the
Divine that you feel close with, just concentrate on one. It
will be more intensified than concentrating on ten Divine names. In
the mind of man, they think that when they have ten, they will
advance faster. They will not advance faster. Actually they will advance
less fast, because one Divine name is like digging one hole and
getting the water; ten Divine names is like digging ten holes to try
to get water. You will not get it. So, if you want, just chant one
name.
