Get association with roots not fancy words.
Don't run behind social media trends.
There is one word trending on social media these days which is Naam jap. I'm not saying there is something wrong in this word. I just want to share a thought that came across my mind. Naam jap is something which is taught from childhood . When a child gets a little older, he is introduced to god, taken to religious places according to their culture. Moreover, he is taught the importance of god in his life. For example, if I talk about hindu dharma chanting of ram ram is very common. Our elders didn't know the english words good morning, good night; they used to say ram ram, radhe radhe, hare krishna. Their main purpose was to take the name of god. This is also naam jap. Naam jaap is in our roots, there is no need to run behind anything special or perform something extraordinary. Its the simple practice that can be used in day to day life but it's being made complicated in today's world. We are forgetting our basic roots the ones to which we are attached, ones which we are taught from childhood by our parents or elders in the family. We are running behind the trends and popularism on social media. In every religion, God is an inevitable part of a person's life and he does not want you to follow any special rules or regulations to remember him or to chant his name. He just sees your feeling. He is fond of love and devotion, not the rules and regulations. There are numerous examples from past where many people experienced the presence of god simply by following the feeling of love. Many religious songs also state that god is associated with your inner feelings. However, not everyone can understand this basic formula. The Divine power only understands the language of love while everyone is busy offering bribe to him in one form or other. Whenever we want a particular thing or event to happen in our life, what we generally say while visiting religious shrines? For example- "Please god give me this job and I will offer you 1kg of sweets or I will offer this or that". God doesn't want your sweets, if you want to offer sweets offer to those who can't afford them. This will bring you closer to god. Help the people around you. Help the needy. Be thankful for what you have got. These basic things will not only give you inner peace and joy but also bring you one step closer to your Divine power. I'm not saying that doing naam jap is wrong or it should not be done but I'm saying instead of dedicating a proper time remember god in every minute, in every breath you take and help the needy one. God will be more pleased when you perform good deeds rather than sitting at one place ,chanting with beads in hands. However, if you really want to do chanting there is no harm but remember if you can't help one the needy then chanting alone may not help to move things in your life. In end, I want to say that I believe that there is nothing that happens in our life without the consent of god, even a small leaf moves when its his wish. We are guided by spiritual powers every single minute in our life. So, don't just run behind what is being showcased. Start associating yourself with your roots. It is the basic essence of life,in my view, should be followed by everyone on this planet to make this world a better place to live in.
