taken up by the master who feeds him with the spiritual force through Transmission. Now it depends upon the abhyasi to extract from the master as much as he can through love and devotion. The greater the devotion and surrender the greater will be the force flowing into him.
Now about reciting God's name over and over again advised by certain sages as the surest means of Liberation in the Kaliyuga, I believe that unless we merge ourselves in the vibrations produced by reciting God's name we can never be sure of getting the desired result. Some scriptures tell us that if we recite the name of God continuously for 24 hours we shall have his darshan. My mother once, long ago, did it in all earnestness but to no effect. The theory of darshan too, as popularly believed, is not at all convincing to me on the basis of my own experience and anubhava in Realisation. I too sometimes advise mental recitation of Rama, resting our thought all the while on His attribute of All- pervadingness. This process is helpful in bringing about the state of constant remembrance too.
