00:00You know, some of the reflex affirmations, if I may say, like, Inshallah, MashaAllah,
00:05or doing something and saying Bismillah, you know, this particular thing is still there
00:09every day in my self-realization. So I want to know whether I should continue it.
00:15I just keep saying, Hey Ram, for no reason. I'm tired, I'll say, Hey Ram. Happy, Hey Ram.
00:23Hey Ram. About to sleep, Hey Ram. Wake up, Hey Ram. If a particular word or sound or name
00:31reminds you of the nameless one, it's wonderful. Irrespective of what that word sound or name
00:38in itself is, what matters is that it is pointing towards the nameless one.
00:45One has to get rid of the nonsense associated with religion. One does not have to get rid
00:51of religiousness. Religiousness or essential spirituality is what keeps us alive as human
01:02beings. Otherwise, we will just be animals with intellect. We are obviously not talking
01:08of religious morality here. We are talking of the essential spiritual value of self-exploration.
01:19That's what the essence of all religion is. And that self-exploration, it can happen in
01:26any name. The name does not matter. If you say Inshallah or Bismillah, please do continue.
01:33That's wonderful.
