"It is a great help to install the Divine name and form of your choice in your spiritual heart. It is much better to be attached to God's name and form than to an individual's. If this is done, one will not be liable to do anything wrong. Thoughts, words and deeds will be in harmony.
Having God's image installed in the heart will help to develop the ability to listen to one's conscience and to improve one's power of concentration. It is unnecessary to be worried about how to get rid of the attachment to the Guru's name and form, before you have given up attachment to your own name and form. If the latter is achieved, the attachment to all other names and forms will vanish. Actions performed with a pure and steady mind will be performed much more efficiently.
Listen to the voice of God. Remember Him all the time, and by this, transfer your attention more and more from the world to God.
At the most you can claim to be an instrument of God. It is better to practise a little bit of what you have read than to continue reading tons of books."
(From the book "I Am I" by Ratan Lal)
