Divine name vs Cell Phones - Where are my priorities?

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!
