Some say that since this is Kali yuga, falsehood alone can succeed. But in spite of all appearances, honesty is still the best policy. One lie must be buttressed by a hundred others; whereas being truthful is easy, safe and simple. It is a hard job to maintain a false stand and so, it is always safe to be straight and honest. Do not take the first false step and then be led, on and on, to perdition. Truth is one’s real nature and when you are yourself, there comes a great flood of joy welling up within you. When you deny and deceive yourself, shame darkens your mind and breeds fear. You take the path of falsehood because of the rajasik(passionate) qualities of lust, greed, hate and pride. Contentment, humility, and detachment – these keep you on the path of Truth. Truth will always triumph; do not doubt that in the least.

With the Name as the very breath of your life, you must engage in all life’s activities, with no fear of a fall. If you make good use of chanting the Lord’s Name, your life will be sanctified. Whatever work you undertake, do it as an offering to God, chanting His Name. Even while you are walking, think that it is God who is making you walk, since Divinity is present in a subtle form in every atom and cell in this Universe. Unable to recognise this truth, people think, ‘I came by walk, I walked so many miles, etc.’ Such work comes under the physical realm, not spiritual. Hence whatever you think, speak or do, do it befittingly, considering every work as God’s command and God’s work. With that attitude chant any divine name wholeheartedly and sanctify your life. Then every activity you undertake will be successful.

You are most fortunate to participate in this (annual global) Akhanda Bhajan. Do not lose this great opportunity to lovingly sing the Lord’s Name. Meera drank the cup of poison with the Name on her tongue and it turned into nectar. Bhartrihari bewailed his lot, “Lord, these pleasures are eating me up; they don’t allow me to be myself. No! I will liberate myself from their clutches. I shall take refuge in the undiminishable bliss, the reservoir of joy, the Lord. I shall not crave for objects (padartha); I shall yearn for the Highest Good (Parartha)”. Devotion and faith ensure the gift of knowledge of the Spirit which is the greatest prize for the great adventure of birth, life and death. Endeavour to remember this fact when you sing. Whatever you do, whoever you are, whatever work you perform, you will definitely succeed, provided you do not give up the recitation of His Name with love and devotion incessantly.

There are two kinds of Bhajans – one is Khanda Bhajan and the other, Akhanda Bhajan. The former is for a specific time, like the bhajans held for a limited period either in the morning or evening. On the other hand, Akhanda Bhajan involves constant contemplation on God in the morning, evening or even during the night. It is constant contemplation on God during all the three states – the waking, dream and deep sleep. It is sarvada sarvakaleshu sarvatra Harichintanam – thinking of God constantly, at all times and at all places. The divine name is highly potent. Each one of the several names of God has one type of power specific to it. If you wish to make good use of this power and derive lasting benefit out of it, you have to participate in Akhanda bhajan. In order to attain purity, it is not enough if chanting of the divine name is confined to a limited period. It has to be a continuous spiritual exercise throughout one’s life. Then only the divine name gets imprinted on one’s heart.

Do not get elated at the riches, status, authority, or the intelligence which you are bestowed with. Consider them as signs of His grace, opportunities of service, and symbols of responsibility given to you on trust, so that you may benefit others. Never seek to exult over others’ faults; deal empathetically with others’ shortcomings and mistakes. Always seek the good in them, hear only good tidings about them and never give ear to scandal. Detachment confers fearlessness and gives strength and courage, for, it is desire that weakens you and makes you cringe before those in authority and with influence. Detachment endows you with self-respect, the capacity to stand up to slander and calumny. Some weep at the slightest sign of defeat or disappointment. This is despicable behaviour. Why should you have fear or sorrow, with the Lord installed in the altar of your heart? He is in all beings, at all times. Do you not know He is there, guarding you and guiding you?

Draupadi did not send a chariot inviting Lord Krishna to come to her rescue; she uttered the Lord’s Name in her deepest agony and Lord Krishna instantly responded, and saved her from imminent dishonour. In the Treta yuga, during the times of the Ramayana, architect Nala and his monkeys were building a bridge over the sea to Lanka; the boulders on which they inscribed the sacred name Rama, floated on the waters. But they found that the boulders floated away due to wind and wave. They did not form a continuous bridge for the army to pass over. Some wise person gave a suggestion to write ‘Ra’ on one boulder and ‘Ma’ on another and they found that the two stuck hard together. This works in this day and age too! Chant the Lord’s name continuously. It will serve as a bridge between you and Him; it will keep you focused on Him and bring on you His boundless Grace!

The home (griha) where the Lord’s Name is not heard is a dark cave (guha)! As you enter home, as you leave it, and while you are in it, perfume it, illumine it and purify it with His Name. Light it as a lamp at dusk and welcome it at dawn as you welcome the Sun. That is the genuine Deepavali, the festival of lamps. Firmly believe that the Name is the boat which will help you cross the sea of worldly life. The Name is more efficacious than the contemplation of the Form. On this Deepavali Day, resolve to light the lamp of Namasmarana (chanting the Name of God) and place it at your doorstep, the lips. Feed it with the oil of devotion, let steadiness be the wick. Let the lamp illumine every minute of your life. The splendour of the Name will drive darkness from outside you as well as from within you. You will spread joy and peace amongst all who come near you.

There is no point in talking sweetly if there is no sweetness in your heart. Sweetness in speech and bitterness in heart is not the quality of a human being. There should be sweetness in your thought, word and deed. This is the true sign of a human being. There is love in you, but you are not able to express it in the proper way. You should fill your life with selfless love. There is nothing superior to love in this world. Human beings are considered to be most sacred because they have the unique quality of love in them. But you are not able to realize the value of human birth. God incarnates in human form in order to spread the message of selfless love. Once you have selfless love in your heart, you can conquer the whole world
