Divine discourse on What is the intensity and urgency with which we should be involved in spiritual practices?

What is the intensity and urgency with which we should be involved in spiritual practices? Bhagawan lovingly inspires us today with simple examples.

When the name is pronounced by the tongue, and the image is adored by the mind, these should not degenerate into a mechanical routine; the meaning of the Name and the content of the Form must, at the same time, inspire and illumine the consciousness. Escape the routine; involve yourselves in the attitude of worship deeply and sincerely. That is the way to earn peace and content for which all human activity ought to be dedicated and directed. Planting the sapling of the cotton tree, how can you hope for the mango? Do it now! That is the urgency of this problem of all problems, of winning peace and contentment. If you feel hungry now, you cannot have your meals tomorrow; you do not eat your meals now, fearing that you will be hungry tomorrow. Eat when you are hungry – not before or after. Aspire now, adore now, achieve now!
