Talk 325.

Mr. Rama Sastri from Guntur District composed eight slokas on Sri Bhagavan and read them out with feeling. The Sastri then prayed for guidance. "I am a samsari unfit for jnana

marga. The affairs of the world are distracting me. Please instruct me what I should do."
M.: Think of Bhagavan. How will the affairs of the world distract Him? You and they are in Him.

D.: May I do nama smarana ^[?]? What nama ^[?] shall I take?
M.: You are Rama Sastri. Make that name significant. Be one with Rama.
