Cellphones are now a part of every day life. Not just
 businessmen or officers, housewives, students,
 shopkeepers and people of all classes are seen using
 cellphones. So much involved are people with
 cellphones today, particularly in India , that one
 finds them busy with their cellphones at the slightest
 opportunity—sending SMS, checking missed calls or at
 times playing video games. Suppose we were to replace
 this cellphone habit with repeating God’s name—the
 most widely practised spiritual discipline in all
 religions? What will happen then? 
 
 Here are some possibilities:
 
 1. Instead of looking for our cellphone, we shall then
 ask, ‘Where is my God’s Name?’
 
 2. Like cellphone, we can then carry the ‘Name’ around
 wherever we go?
 
 3. What if we checked several time a day whether we
 repeated ‘His Name’?
 
 4. What if whenever we left a place, we made sure that
 we have not left ‘the Name’ behind?
 
 5. What if we treated repeating God’s Name like we
 couldn’t live without it?
 
 6. What if we pressed the ‘Name Button’ whenever we
 got caught in hot exchanges?
 
 7. What if we used the habit of repeating God’s Name
 when we travelled?
 
 8. What if we picked up the Repetition (redial)
 whenever we are set with ‘problems’?
 
 9. What if we have something which cannot be stolen or
 robbed?
 
 10.And above all, unlike our cellphone, we don’t have
 to worry about our Japa habit being disconnected
 because the Lord has already paid the bill, in full!
 
 Makes you stop and think: ‘where are my priorities?’
 How often we lose track of our mind!
