Chapter Seventeen: The Key to Spiritual Purity and Innocence.

Nirdosh thava ni chavi.

Maharaj has promised that constant meditation and remembrance of  His physical body will alleviate us from worldly desires and will provide peace and happiness.

However, constantly chanting His name and pondering upon it will provide greater experiences  of its mystical powers  as signified by the floating stones which had Ram’s name inscribed upon them in the great Ramayan epic.

An even greater achievement will be made by those who meditate, ponder, reflect upon and more importantly apply His principles in their lives and resolve to live according to His agna or vachan (commands).  Those who consider Maharaj to be omniscient (antaryami) and sincerely endeavour to live according to His principles will have their intellectual minds purified and will become as pure, divine and innocent as Maharaj himself.

Why should one even wish to meditate on anything but Maharaj, his divine form, his name or his principles?

One should concentrate on achieving a spiritual level where one can see and whole-heartedly believe all devotees as ‘souls in the process of being purified’ (pragati kartu chaitanya).  When this has been achieved, our minds and intellectual minds (man and buddhi) will have been purified and can then be utilised for the service of the Lord – at this point, it will become our religion, our duty to care for those souls and pray for them.
