The name of God

The name of God Babaji spoke to them about the importance of repeating the name of God (nam japa): "Everything in this world is the name of God, His name is reflected in all forms. Only by the name of God can the human soul experience the one consciousness. There is no difference between the name and the form. By constantly repeating the name of God, the practitioner becomes the name of God. Thus the form of God and the form of the one practicing nam japa become one. The Name is God. In order to reach the Highest, the best is to constantly practice the repetition of the Name of God. This is why realized souls repeat God’s name. It is the only ship by which one can cross the limitations of the world. It is the only way to spiritual and material bliss. Nam japa helps to overcome all obstacles”, says Bhole Baba.

TRUTH - SIMPLICITY - LOVE by the words of Bhole Baba


TRUTH - SIMPLICITY - LOVE
by the words of Bhole Baba

Shri Babaji's teachings can be summed up in three concepts,
Satya ( Truth ) Saralata ( Simplicity ) Prem ( Love ).
Everything in should be characterized by truth, simplicity and love.

Babaji explained the concepts as follows:
TRUTH
Shri Babaji

 
"God is truth" 
Truth is supreme and nothing in the universe is more important then truth. Truth can be achieved by constant control of the mind, all unnecessary and wrong thoughts. Truth is in the mind. By one pointed concentration on the name of the Lord, one will finally be led to that state of silence and emptiness beyond which God can be realized. To achieve this it is necessary to guide the mind into a state of complete peace and stillness.


SIMPLICITY

Mahashakti Dhuni
It is an awareness of the relativity and impermanence of the material creation and the consciousness of a superior life, the spiritual Divine life and Light. Detachment can be acquired through practicing simplicity in everyday life, food, house, clothing and all martial comforts.




LOVE

'Love is God and God is love'
The Lord is constantly calling every creature to union with Him, the divine consciousness.
We must realize that we are all part of this consciousness, all one and the same.
Love is an awareness of that unity.
In this awareness there is no place for aggressive feelings.
'We should be able to love and serve one each other, as you serve and love me, we are all one'.
