मूंड मुंडआवत दिन गए

मूंड मुंडआवत दिन गए, अजहूँ न मिलिया राम| राम नाम कहू क्या करे, जब मन के औरे काम||

Arvind Mishra Many days passed after shaving the head ,yet have not found God so far;What is the use of repeating Ram's name when the mind is busy elsewhere

It is not merely the prayer to God which is important for gaining salvation but also the focussing of the mind on God with deep devotion.Mere repetition of God's name and God's prayer will not help at all and will prove fruitless for liberation.The mind needs to be cleared of all impurities(Klesha) and extraneous thoughts(chitta vritti) and surrendered to God with extreme faith and devotion (Shraddha and Bhakti).

It has been stated in the Bhagwatgeeta chapter 12 verse 2, मय्यावेश्य मनो ये माम नित्ययुक्ता उपासते श्रद्धया परयोपेतास्ते में युक्ततमा मताः which translates as "Those who fix their mind in me and pray to me with continuous involvement and are endowed with firm faith of a special kind, they are considered by Me as perfect in the art of Yoking with Me
