So the more we remember Him, the more we forget ourselves, the more His thoughts come into us, the more His way of communication comes into us, our thoughts become purer and purer and more divine; our way of communication becomes more and more silent. Ultimately, we reach that stage where there is no more speech, it's all silence.

Now many people have thought, many of our abhyasis have thought that constant remembrance is a goal itself. This is a mistake because like meditation is a process leading to remembrance, we have to cultivate constant remembrance as a technique, as a practice, to achieve a result in itself. And my Master put this very beautifully when He said, "We remember that which we love, now when you want to love something remember it." So it is a question of reversing the equation; it is a reversible equation. For instance we love a child which is newly born in the family. I love it because it is mine. I love my wife because she is mine. So love comes when there is the mineness associated with that, which we are loving. Now we have to love the Master. How to learn to love the Master? My Master says, "Well! remember Him. Remember Him constantly." So Constant Remembrance is a technique of developing within oneself the love for that which one is remembering. And only through constant remembrance does love develop, and it is love which finally propels you towards the beloved.

"Constant remembrance is better than
constant presence with Him."
