And calling the Divine name is not only a moment of connection, it is an invitation into a way of being. The sacred rhythm of the heart that continues even when the lips are silent.
In today's world we rely heavily on reminders for just about anything and everything. Alarms to wake us, notifications to move us, apps to keep us on track. Our minds are so full of just timelines and tasks that we forget what really and truly matters. We really do forget what truly matters. But just as our phones prompt us to drink water or to stand up, the soul too, the inner self too, gently prompts us. What does it prompt us to do? Smaran. It's always urging us to do smaran, Divine remembrance. Yes.
So living the name is about bringing God into the everyday. Whether we're walking or speaking or working or sitting silently. Yes. Living the name isn't just about being at the altar or in the temple or …no, no. It's not just about that. It is about bringing that remembrance or carrying that remembrance with us in buses, in the kitchen, in the hospital beds, in all the unseen corners of our life because Saints tell us that it is not how loud we chant the Divine name, no. It is how deeply we remember. That is what's most important.
