SIMRAN (REPETITION) TAKES YOU INSIDE There are cases of pure souls which have gone in during concentration at the very time of initiation. But such cases are rare. Therefore, the usual method of repetition of names is recommended for purifying the mind and bringing concentration. If this is done with love, and has been intellectually grasped as correct, it brings in concentration, and one can feel daily how far the attention has been withdrawn from the body. By repetition one can cross the stars, the sun, and the moon regions, and make contact with the Radiant Form of the Master. This is as far as repetition will take the attention. The course of repetition ends here. (Sawan Singh. Spiritual Gems. RSSB 1958/1996. Pg. 320) This is a very good point Sawan makes. Repetition of the charged names given to you at initiation is essential for concentrating and focusing the attention. For, among other reasons, the more the charged names occupy your attention and mind, the less room there is for other thoughts (an extension of the premise that two things cannot occupy the same space) - so your mind is gradually filled more and more with spiritual thoughts and eventually Shabda ITSelf. The more your mind is filled with these thoughts, the more accepting it is of Surat Shabda as a whole, bringing the teachings increasingly into your comfort zone and making it easier to let go of your physical form and journey within. Eventually, letting go to the Current and going within will be as natural as as tying your shoes, fixing breakfast or reading this blog. For some of you, it will happen quickly, because your karmas are such and you have already grown to the point where ready to go within - spiritually, mentally and emotionally. But for most of you, it takes time - time to concentrate your attention, and to bring these inner experiences into your comfort zone. And that is perfectly fine. I hope you are having a beautiful day In the LightSong of Eternal Love, Michael spiritualfreedomsatsang.org - Michaels Blog
