D. How should I carry on nama-japa ?

 

Maharshi -

 

One should not use the Name of God mechanically and superficially

without the feeling of devotion . To use the Name of God one must

call upon Him with earning and unreservedly surrender oneself to Him.

Only after such surrender is the Name of God constantly with the man.

 

 

D. Where , then , is the need for inquiry or vichara ?

 

M. Surrender can only take effect only when it is done with full knowledge

as to what real surrender means. Such knowledge comes after inquiry

and reflection and ends invariably in self-surrender. There is no

difference between jnana and absolute surrender to the Lord , that is,

in thought , word , and deed. To be complete , surrender must be

unquestioning ; the devotee cannot bargain with the Lord or demand

favors at His hands . Such entire surrender comprises all :

it is jnana and vairagya , Devotion and Love.
