Babuji Maharaj's views on Constant Remembrance

Remembrance  means creation of a link in between two, i.e., the one remembering and the other being remembered. It is complete when one always feels the other's nearness all the time.

Babuji Maharaj used to say that an abhyasi should make his efforts always to be in the remembrance of God. No time, place or action should be an exception for His remembrance. With increase in the efforts, the Divine help also increases. Efforts become Real in due course of time.

Babuji Maharaj has pointed out, "Remembrance should be in a way that we feel the thought of remembrance oozing out from the objects everywhere. It is the Real remembrance which mortals can have. It is a play for our good. Now a new chapter opens in the web of life. The effect of our deep devotion begins to resound in a way that we feel, the Ultimate is remembering us. That is the justice of Divinity. When you have played your part fully well, the Ultimate cannot fall short in playing His part. That is only a beginning of a higher sort of spirituality."

Saint Kabir has also said that one should be restless in His remembrance. He has expressed his views on Remembrance as under -
" मेरा राम मुझे भजे, तब पाऊं विश्राम "
which means that my mind can be at rest only when the Lord gets busy with the remembrance of me.

Once I asked Babuji Maharaj "Babuji, when I am at Shahjahanpur before you, there is no remembrance. Why?" Babuji Maharaj replied, "As you are near me, no question of remembrance arises. However on reaching the climax of remembrance, the state of mind of such person does not make him realize that he in remembrance(याद वोह याद है जो कभी याद ना रहे कि हम याद कर रहे हैं ). It happens only when one is always near to the person being remembered."

The efficacy of the way suggested by Pujya Babuji Maharaj is beyond expression because at every step there is the help of transmission of His Divine Grace. We are very lucky to be in the shelter of Babuji Maharaj because for attainment of goal of God Realization, a major part is played by Him with a little co-operation of the abhyasi.
