Q&A – Day 2🔗

Q: I recite the Lalitha Sahasranama. At times I feel the happiness with the names, I feel some of them very close to my heart. So I feel the oneness, but this state does not stay for long. How will I be able to stay in that state continuously? Please guide me.

A: I think we answered the same question yesterday. Do not decide that you should recite all the 1008 names. Devi is not sitting and taking accounts whether you recited all the 1008 names or not! Whatever makes you feel that oneness, that blissful state, recite those names and cherish. Enjoy those experiences and that mood and rest with that. If you really feel that you are in that state, further chanting will disturb that state. Just close the book and leave it. You achieved what needs to be achieved through chanting. Do not use the technique to disturb your peace! Sometimes you overdrive, you try beyond the point which you need to reach. So, do not overdrive. Stop where you are supposed to stop. So, start staying in that state whenever it happens by not doing anything. That is the best way to let that experience settle in you again and again.
