Remembrance of Lord's name is the method of crossing over the ocean of worldly life for this age. You may doubt whether such small words like ‘Rama’, ‘Sai’ or ‘Krishna’ can take you across the boundless sea of worldly life. People cross vast oceans on a tiny raft; they are able to walk through dark jungles with a tiny lamp in their hands. The Name, even Pranava (Om) which is smaller, has vast potentialities. The raft need not be as big as the sea. The recitation of Name is like the operation of boring to tap underground water; it is like the chisel-stroke that will release the image of God imprisoned in the marble. Break the encasement and Lord will appear; cleave the pillar, as Prahladha asked his father to do, and Lord, who is ever there will manifest Himself. Lord is Anandamaya (full of bliss); He is also Ananda (divine bliss), which is to be tasted through the Name. He is Sat-Chit-Ananda (Being-Awareness-Bliss Absolute).
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
