| Bijoy Krishna Goswami |
(from "Bijoy Krishna Goswami - His divine life and sermons" by Deb Kumar Bhattacharya):
Bijoy Krishna Goswami: It is not that instead of staying with us, God stays in some far-off place, He is always with us. His darshan is available when the internal sins are destroyed by repeating naam in every breath. As one repeats naam in this manner, something like a mirror manifests gradually. The entire universe, from the dust particles to the solar universe is manifested. The sins and piety of men, everything is manifested. All the stars and planets come in view. Continence is what does the special work like the mercury of a mirror.
It is necessary to engage in sadhan even for a little time every day. Even if one does not like it, still repetition of naam like swallowing medicines generates a taste for naam. The distaste for naam japa is remedied by naam japa alone. The way even sugar candy tastes bitter for a patient of bile, yet its remedy lies in sugar candy alone. With its regular intake of sugar candy finally tastes sweet, in the same way, taste for naamjapa is developed by repetition of naam.
The siddha state will be attained the day naam will continue through twenty-four hours, meaning not even a single breath will go futile. The sadhak cannot attain the "safe state" until this state is attained. "Safe state" means the state attaining which the sadhak will have no fear of falling. The sadhak will always have fear of falling prior to this.
