Stages till non-duality through chanting the Name of God
1. Purification of the soul
Chanting the Name of God purifies the soul. One can go beyond
body-awareness by purifying the soul. Once we are able to go beyond
body-awareness, we are able to attain union with God's wish. Through the
union with God's wish, we can attain the Principle of non-duality.
2. Oneness with Time
The Principle in the Name brings about oneness with the Universe. This
itself is oneness with the effect of 'place', that is, oneness with
Time.
3. Creation of spiritual emotion
The external
chanting of the Name done with effort purifies the gross body.
Purification of the gross body leads to improvement in the functioning
of the body. Through the process of this improvement, thoughts also get
purified. This itself is termed as creation of spiritual emotion. When
spiritual emotion is created through the Name, we take more interest in
chanting of the Name. This is termed as earnestness in Spirituality.
4. Earnestness and spiritual experience
Through earnestness, the soul becomes familiar with the world of
spiritual experience. He chants the Name again and again to get
spiritual experiences.
5. Faith
Through this process, his
intellect is purified and the obstacle of intellect in his spiritual
practice is removed. The spiritual emotion is now transformed into faith
in God.
6. Reduction in Ego
Ego starts reducing through the awareness of doing all activities without 'I'ness.
7. Unexpressed spiritual emotion
Once ego is reduced, the expressed spiritual emotion is transformed into unexpressed spiritual emotion.
8. Automatic internal chanting and its effects
We get the spiritual experience that through the awareness of unexpressed spiritual emotion, our chanting becomes automatic.
- This spiritual experience is in the form of a flame of the soul
- At the level of the five subtle motor organs, this spiritual experience is manifest in the form of Bliss
- At this level, the soul understands God's intention behind any incident
