Through dhyana (meditation) you develop jnana (wisdom) and by japam (recitation of God's Name) you develop bhakti (devotion), and by both you cleanse your heart of ego. You can link yourselves with God, by a chain of love, through the recitation of the name, in silence and with full awareness of the meaning and its nuances. Each ‘Sai Ram, Hare Krishna, or Vitthala’ is a link; the more the links the longer the chain, and firmer the bond. But each link must be forged out of well-tempered steel. One false link, a Name once uttered in sloth or slight, indifference or anger, resentment or rancour, will constitute a weak link and that bond will not bind! Also be careful to not cavil at another's faith. There is a road from each heart to God who is the source of all joy. Each one will come in their own good time, at their own pace, through their own inner urge, along the path God reveals to them as their own.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
