I agree with you, but what...Namaste @Anonymous ji,<br /><br />I agree with you, but what you have said is the realisation of great saints and Rishis. This realisation happens out of unconditional surrender. The very fact that Sri Rama will fulfil material desires indicate that the devotee's mind does have material desires which the devotee is not ready to quit for beloved Rama. It means there is expectation. In my opinion, this type of bhakti is not pure bhakti. A devotee worships Ishvara just for the sake of devotion. Bhakti for the sake of bhakti and the mind of a matured devotee will not complaint or request to Ishvara no matter what the situation is. A devotee will leave everything on Ishvara. <br /><br />So mechanical chanting will not produce bhAva. days will pass by and since mind is not trained to renounce desires, it does not let go of them. Hence chanting is not continuous like a flickerless flame.<br /><br />SakAma bhakti will eventually lead to nishkAma bhakti. All Rasik saints of all traditions wanted nothing but their Ishta Devata. This is the truth. Mind needs to be purified and restrained. Gita also teaches how to control mind and how to purify it. If there was no need then Gita would not have been such lengthy. <br /><br />What you say is Mahima - Glorification. Heart overflowing with devotion speaks as such, but for laymen one has to follow discipline, one has to generate bhAva and one has to fully surrender Self to Ishvara in order to experience devotional bliss. <br /><br /><b>The process is never mechanical. It is sahaja - spontaneous.</b> Mantra originates from the heart naturally without devotee making any effort. Whatever happens happens spontaneously. Life is a happening. Desires are uprooted by Rama. This state is not mechanical. It is sahaja. <br /><br />Also going beyond sakara and nirakara or going beyond saguna and nirguna is the state of realisation. In this state, there is just bliss. Even in the sense of advaita, where we go beyond gunas, one attains nirguna state, a state of pure consciousness and nothing else. But until one is not in this state, there is bhAva, there is duality, there is surrender, there is an inner exploration. <br /><br />Once one is merged in Supreme Consciousness, then the world appears mechanical. This is another state, but until one reaches this state, one needs to practice sadhana and in the process of doing sadhana if one adopts what you have said, then once sadhana stops. <br /><br /><b>Please do not confuse highest state with the path itself. We are all sadhakas not siddhas </b>. We have not attained mukti. Hence we will not reach this state, but before reaching this state, such concepts, if applied, will result in loss of drive to have the darshana of Rama or will kill the drive to experience one's true nature.<br /><b>Please do not mix the state of Siddha with the state of Sadhaka. It is not helpful, but harmful.</b>. Yoga Sutras are also important. Madhusudan Sarasvati and Sant Gyaneshwar has quoted it extensively along with Vyasa’s Commentary while commenting on chapter six of Bhagavad Gita. <br /><br />Sri Ram Sharanam<br />Hari OMIndiaspirituality Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824204139440408680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7339290657455092135.post-20057242226638419362023-12-03T02:10:50.758+05:302023-12-03T02:10:50.758+05:30Jaya Shreeram, As per Rishi(sage) Lomasha, all lau...Jaya Shreeram, As per Rishi(sage) Lomasha, all laukik(material) and Vedic words have been originated from divine word RAMA and as per Mahasambhu Samhita, even pranav(OM) has come out of the word RAMA. So, the word bhava has also come from the holy word RAMA. By giving more importance to bhava means, lowering the status and dignity of the eternal RAMA NAMA, which is unjust as per our holy scriptures. Moreover, the Supreme brahma had appeared as light studded two letters RA & MA in front of Swami Satyananda in 1925 after a deep meditation. The divine word RAMA is beyond the status of saguna and nirguna aspects of the Parabrahma. So the concept of bhava may not arise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7339290657455092135.post-70641733215969543752023-12-03T00:40:56.041+05:302023-12-03T00:40:56.041+05:30Jaya Shreeram, even mechanical repetition of the d...Jaya Shreeram, even mechanical repetition of the divine name RAMA without any devotion, affection or emotion will bestow the desired result upon the practitioners unfailing. It also fulfills the material needs of the practitioners on its way to salvation. How to love the unknown and develop bhaba towards the unexplored consciousness.

What makes you think that - 'Faith...@Anonymous<br /><br />What makes you think that - 'Faith, devotion, emotions are not essential requirements.'?<br />If you do not have faith in what you are doing, it has little effect. We must have bhAva. In gItA too BhagavAna says BG 18.62 - तमेव शरणं गच्छ *सर्वभावेन* भारत। and also refer to BG 18.66 सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज। <br /><br />If you have said it from emotional point, I can understand, but anything without bhAva is mechanical.<br /><br />One of the purpose of purANa-s is to instill bhAva in the heart of devotees and hence it contains lIlA-s of various forms of Ishvara.<br /><br />SrI rAma sharaNama<br />Hari OMIndiaspirituality Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824204139440408680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7339290657455092135.post-10295614773247097502023-12-01T23:56:24.129+05:302023-12-01T23:56:24.129+05:30'Apadam apahartaram..' mantra is an unseen...'Apadam apahartaram..' mantra is an unseen subtle machine that works upon the principle of sound vibration.
