When we say we want to do God’s Will, we have really to do His
Will, not our will. To know how the Will of God is, this will be the
question, you know? When you pray there is always a feeling that
awakens. If you are praying sincerely, and you are sincerely chanting
the Name of God, there is this great longing and the great peace and
calm that awakens. When this
awakens inside of you, there is also the inner voice that will start
awakening. When you hear this inner voice, it is even greater
than what you have in the mind, because even if you want to do what
your mind wants you to do, this one will be greater. You will know
that. Your heart will pull you towards that voice. When you
chant the Name of God, it’s not just mere chanting when you
recite the sweet Name. It’s not just chanting it like that, but what it
creates inside of you, what it awakens inside of you, because you
see, it is said that the Name of God, and God, are one. There is no
difference between the Name of God and God. So when you chant
the Name, He is next to you. It is said
that when you chant, first your Guru has to be in your mind. From
the Master, the Lord will show Himself. So always, when you
chant, always place the Master first. In that way, it will be like
what Sri Krishna said in the Gita, “If you want to attain me, surrender
yourself to your Guru and you will attain me.” To sing the name of
the Guru is so easy. There are so
many names. Everybody feels close with certain names, but in this
age, as it is said, the sweet name of Sri Hari is the most important
one. Chant always, and as you chant, let your mind be focused on
the Divine. Don’t just do it mechanically, but do it and feel
that the Lord is with you, and is standing next to you.
