Krishna
has said in the Geetha that ‘Om’ has to be remembered at the moment of
death. But when the mind is flitting from one fancy to another, how
can the production of a sound ‘Om, Om..’ by the vocal organs be of any
benefit? The mere sound will not help you attain liberation. The senses
have to be curbed, thoughts have to be one-pointed and the divine
glory has to be apprehended. If you postpone sadhana
(spiritual practices) till the last moment, you will be like the
student who turns over the pages of his textbook for the first time,
just before entering the examination hall! If the student has neglected
to learn from the teacher, lecture-notes and books, how can anything
enter his head on that morning? It will only add to the student’s
despair. That is why the Lord advised that one must start early in this
search
for truth.
