Just as a lover gives the top position in his mind to his beloved, the devotees of God also give the highest place to God. If man gives the lowest place to the one who deserves the highest, where can love there be? We arrange things systematically. We do not place the table on the plate and then some other things on it. It is not the horse that puts the saddle on us and rides. Whatever we find such adverse system or arrangement, there will be problems, troubles. Man will continue to stay where he is. That is why man is advised to give the highest place to this God, the divine name. If you give importance to insignificant, perishable things and place God behind everything else, where can you find the pleasure, where can you find peace? Lust, anger, greed etc vitiate love, spoil devotion. The one who loves God is emancipated from the cycle of birth and death. He rises above ambitions. When the mind is engrossed in desires, man cannot show devotion to God.

Fake and fictitious Simran is of no use. Religious books mention that some people recite the name of God only for the show of it. They only want to impress others that those who worship God and repeat the divine name all the time, are great devotees. But all this has some self interest behind it. For example, a beggar also recites the name of God. He too refers to the name of the Almighty one way or the other. May be, he says RAM RAM. But this RAM RAM is coming from his tongue; his heart is in the begging. In case the chord of his heart is also connected with God, it may have some meaning. But here, the word RAM is being repeated only by the tongue. The eyes of the bagger are on the pedestrians who move along the footpath where he is sitting. He watches as to who turns towards him and puts some coin into his bowl, as to who puts his hand into his pocket, as to who is taking out the money and giving him. In short his eyes are fixed somewhere else, while the tongue is repeating the name of God. This has never been accepted by spiritual masters as the spirit of devotion, as Simran. Simran for them means that they recite the name of God with everything surrendered to the Almighty.
