The very first lesson I gave when I declared my identity at Urava-kunda was: "Manasa Bhajare Gurucharanam, Dusthara Bhavasagara Tharanam ." That is to say, first know that you are in Bhavasagara (ocean of worldly life); then resolve on Tharanam (crossing it); then fix on a guru or the name and from of God which appeals to you; Lastly, dwell on his glory, do Bhajan, but do it with all your mind. He, who is deluded by this relative reality is the Samsari (worldly person); he who is aware that it is only relatively real is the Sadhaka. (Spiritual aspirant)
