When God is truly beyond all names and forms, what is the virtue in contemplating on one name and form? Bhagawan reminds us and encourages us today on our journey.
Repetition of the Name and Meditation are means by which you can compel even concretisation of divine grace, in the Form and with the Name you yearn for! The Lord has to assume the Form you choose, the Name you fancy; in fact, you shape Him so! Therefore, don’t change these two, but stick to the one that pleases you most, whatever the delay or difficulty! Do not get discouraged that you are not able to concentrate for long from the very beginning. When you learn to ride a bicycle, you do not get the skill of keeping the balance immediately. You push the cycle along to an open maidan and hop and skip, leaning now to one side and now to the other and even may fall with the cycle upon you on many an attempt before you are able to ride with skill and never again to worry about the balance. Automatically, you are able to make the necessary adjustments to correct the balance, is it not?
– Divine Discourse, Feb 23, 1958.
