When Naam mantra is practiced regularly for some time at conscious level, gradually the
sub-conscious takes over, and the jap goes on even when the conscious mind is engaged in other
activities. As soon as a gap occurs in an activity Naam will surface up at conscious level of its own.
If a person goes to sleep over the mantra, whenever he happens to wake up at night,
he will find that the jap is going on in his mind.


Gradually, this practice slows down the wandering tendency of the mind and increases the
power of mental concentration of the aspirant. The practice purifies the mind and reduces the inborn tendencies for lust, anger, greed, selfishness and pride, sanctifies his outlook towards life,
increases awareness, raises level of consciousness and brings about all round spiritual advancement.





The aspirant becomes honest, truthful, considerate, caring, loving, kind, forgiving and humble.
He gets a feeling of bliss and joy during the jap and that keeps him hooked to the practice.
The mantra completely transforms the individual and religion becomes a part of his daily life.
What is important is regularity of practice, persistence and an inner urge for self-realization.


In the advanced stages of this practice, the aspirant should, during the course of his Naam jap,
mentally fill his mind with God-consciousness and subjectively feel the presence of God as a Spiritual
Reality within him and all around him. He begins to see ‘beauty’ and a ‘touch’
of His presence in everything around him."The same Infinite which is outside is inside you ;
He is all pervading and in every being". This is what is termed as a state of communion with God.
Aspirant’s concept of God also, gradually changes from Personal to Impersonal.
