When the mind, restrained  through concentration, becomes still by the practice of Yoga,  the yogi is able to behold the Self  through the  Self, and rejoice in the Self . ---'Bhagavad Geeta chapter 6.shloka 20

When you chant the Name, you must know you are Chanting the Name of one who is within you and who is making you chant.......Papa

#####



In that joyous state of Yoga, called samadhi, one experiences supreme boundless divine bliss, and thus situated, one never deviates from the Eternal Truth....bg 6.21

Chanting entity becomes aware of the witness and Chanting stops

Papa's words 
===========

By concentrating your mind on the sound of the Name,  the mind absorbs the Name,  and thereafter mental repetition starts.

Silent repetition is of course more efficacious. It needs perfect solitude. 

When Ram Nam is repeated mentally, the mind becomes gradually still, and the repetition stops when the mind is perfectly still.

It doesn't remain still for a long time and the moment it is disturbed,  the repetition of Ramnam starts again. 

The effort now is to lengthen the period of this stillness, i.e. from the time Ramnam stopped till it started again. 

By Constant practice the duration of this stillness is increased until, at last, it becomes permanent

Speed of nerve impulse is 200 km/hour and this decides the capacity of sensory system. In meditation,  you say good bye to sensory system.

Brihadaranyaka upanishad-- Yagnavalkya to Janaka-- The man who is in union with the Self sees without seeing, smells without smelling, tastes without tasting, speaking without speaking, hears without hearing, touches without touching, thinks without thinking, knows without knowing, for there is nothing separate from him..

Fear is the interpretation of the mind

One who has realised is not dependent on the sense organs and mind, for they are the causes of duality - the seer and seen. He  Himself  is the knowledge.
