Gadhada I-22: Singing without Remembering God Is as Good as Not Singing at All; The Digit ‘1’

Summary

1. One who does not remember God while singing:

1. It is as good as not having sung at all.
2. One does not attain peace of mind.

2. Singing devotional songs, reciting God’s holy name, chanting the dhunya, etc. - one should only perform that activity while remembering the form of God.
3. One should practise maintaining one’s vrutti on the form of God while walking, eating, and drinking - in fact, during all activities.
4. Keeping the mind’s vrutti on God is like the digit 1. [A long row of zeros has no value, but when a single ‘1’ is placed before the zeros, the value of the composite figure is exponentially increased with each zero.]
