PEACE OF THE MIND

Faith in the divine Name is not blind faith. Call Him howsoever you
will, call Him,
standing, sitting, eating, going to bed - peace shall be yours.
Chant the Name and kama will cease. The word kama is used in two
senses: desire,
and lust. Kama, resolution, vacillation, all these are affairs of the
mind. These frisk
about just because the mind is restive. Chant the Name and the mind's
unrest will
vanish.
Whatever is on earth is restless. In birth after birth the mind has
been in contact with
things restless: so it is in this birth as well. Far from ebbing,
restlessness has
therefore been steadily growing. God alone is still. Him you've to
capture and to
make your own.
The Name and He whom the Name belongs to, are not different. Just hold
on to the
Name and the mind will grow still. The Name is just as still as He to
whom It belongs.
Keep company with the Name and the mind shall grow still.
Consider the Name Ram: for ages, for an eon It has been just the same,
immutable,
changeless. Keep company with the Name that is still, only say Ram
Ram; all will
come aright.
Go on with merely verbal spiritual exercise, exercise with mere word
of mouth. Such
is the power of spiritual exercise that it advances of itself by
virtue of its own strength
coming eventually to permeate everything.
As you say Ra the mouth opens and sin goes out: as say M the mouth
closes and
sin can't enter again. Then dive- right into madhyama; dive again and
you reach
pahsyanti; dive yet again and you come straight to para. Let me now
sing a song,
listen:
Why not dive, Oh mind, with Kaali on the lips
Into the fathomless deep, the priceless sea of your soul
That sea is not a void; it is a mine of treasures:
Can pearls be fished with two or four dips?
With one bold dive, plunge, Oh mind,
Right on to the shore of Kula Kundalini.
Clasp, Oh clasps the Mother.
Who but the Mother can ever grant peace.
