Devotion & Meditation

Brother, if you have no devotion, what is the point of having come into the world? Without devotion, you cannot cross the worldly ocean. Without meditation on the True Name, you are no better than a dog, or a bird trapped by its greed. There is only one True Name. It is the Doer, fearless and without opposition, indestructible, birth less and self-existent. you can meditate upon it by the Grace of the Master.
It has been the Truth from the beginning of time, it is the Truth now, and will be so in future. Meditate with each breath on God's Name. Don't waste a single breath. Who knows whether the next breath will come or not? A person who has no love and devotion for God is most unfortunate sinner.

Do not waste even a moment without meditation, leave alone an hour or a day. Meditate on the Holy Name, sitting, lying down, walking, talking, eating, drinking and doing your daily work.

What is Truth?

When a person is dreaming, the dream appears to be reality. At that time you don't know that it's a dream. A person realizes the falsehood of that dream only when he awakens, when he opens his eyes and finds out that whatever he was seeing in the dream is not there. In the same way, we also realize that this world is not real when we close out eyes. When we close our eyes and go deep into meditation, into Knowledge, then we realize that this world which looks real is not real. The truth which was yesterday but will not be tomorrow is not truth. Truth is that which is eternal, which is permanent all the time.

From the Ramayana

God says, Now I will tell you the nine forms of devotion. The first is fellowship with the saints, and the second is marked by a fondness for My stories. Humble service on one's preceptor is the third form, while the forth consists in singing My praises with a guileless purpose. Meditating upon My Name with unwavering faith constitutes the fifth form. The sixth consists in the practice of self control and virtue, desisting from all manifold activates and ever pursuing the course of conduct prescribed for saints. He who practices the seventh type sees the world full of Me without distinction and reckons the saints as even greater than Myself. He who cultivates the eighth type remains contented with whatever he gets and never thinks of detecting others' faults. The ninth form demands that one should be guileless and straight in one's dealings with everybody, and in his heart cherish implicit faith in Me without either exultation or depression. Whoever possesses any one of these nine forms of devotion, be he man or woman, or any other creature, is most dear to me.
