Remember the name of the Lord, even associate it with the form, and have that form fixed in the mind’s eye. It is a lamp, shedding light in the recesses of your heart. Have the name on the tongue, and it will drive away the inner darkness as well as the outer. Peace within, brotherliness without - that is the sign of a person engaged in nama-japam (repeating the name of the Lord). The name of the Lord has vast potentiality. Let me tell you an incident about this. Once, Jnanadev and Namdev together walked across a forest track, and both were afflicted with unbearable thirst. They discovered a well, but they found no rope or vessel with which they could draw the precious liquid within reach. It was a deep well with no steps, and the water was far, far beneath. Jnanadev, who had attained Brahma-jnana (knowledge of the Supreme Being), identified himself with a bird that flew down the well and drank its fill. His thirst was quenched that way. Namdev called upon the Lord by name; the Lord answered, the water in the well rose; yes, rose until he could reach it with his hands and slake his thirst.
