Thought for the day


Through the path of sadhana the sadhaka rises higher and higher in spirituality


From the book 

Highlights of the Avataric Task

Exclusive devotion to one form

Exclusive devotion to one form is very important. One must have one-pointed devotion and focus on the form of God, which they desire. His name must be chanted continuously. It is this one pointed devotion alone that melts the heart of God. Anything is possible through one-pointed devotion. Yet, there is no benefit if you change the form you like from one day to the next.

An example. Rain that pours on a hill is channelized to flow to one place, where it becomes a waterfall. If not channelized, the rain water flows in many different directions and eventually evaporates. In the same way, when we center the mind on one form of God alone, the mind focuses and comes to rest at that point. It is through this one pointed focus that power comes. I have one pointedly focused on Swami for 72 years. Due to this one pointed focus, the world‟s orbit changes and world liberation comes. This is the reason we show devotion exclusively to one form.
