In the holy books, it is often spoken about the Word of God,
the Name of God, the Verb, the Holy-Spirit, 
the Holy-Name, Satnam, Te etc. 
There are different names for the same principle.


If you remain in my Word, you will truly be my disciples,
then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free"
[John 8, 31-1]


The purpose of the path is to let you know intimately, this Word, this Verb, this Name of God that cannot be pronouced nor written but that it is possible to listen to providing to know what and how to listen. " if you stay in my Word…" from the John’s gospel means to stay aware of this name that prounces alone. It is the purpose of our Sadhàna, the Agya.

The Agya: Duty/Satsang/meditation

Why do the practionners of the path, the chela and the premie are attached to remain in this Word ? Not because they have to but because they like it. It is not more complicated like that. We could gloss all the days long, like the pharisers, the masters of the faith did, but no, that would be lost of time for what you like the most : to stay in this Word, this Holy-Name, this Verb.


"The Holy-Name cannot be said, to listen to It is entering the Kingdom "
[Bhaktimàrga1-1-6]


In the begenning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God. " 
[John ch. 1]


If you haven’t recieved the Revelation of the path, I will give you a simple manner to feel the Holy-Name : go in a calm place, a windy day, lay on the grass and close the eyes… the wind will let the leaves of trees whispering, of the poplars, aspens would be perfect, in the spring, you will hear the birds singing, lean back, relax.

After a while, you will feel something, in the chest, the thymus : a feeling of a particular Peace, joyce, serenity and fulfillment… this is the effect of the Holy-Name when you let go. Do you know this feeling ? Of course, everybody knows it ! It is the happiness.

We feel it too when we love somebody, a child for example. This particular feeling is inside you all the time and similar for every human being. You don’t feel it always, because of your absent-mindedness and because you don’t give it all the attention it deserves not knowing the importance.


You believe maybe that it is only a feeling of satisfaction, of love that an object, a person gives you, that it is a hormonal reward and even if ! The body is the temple of God. But in Truth, this feeling is there all the time. You are not paying attention to it.

The practice of the path aimes to allow this feeling by the appropriate techniques. When we feel the Holy-Name, no word is usefull : you just need to feel, to be happy and to remain it.


If you remain in my Word, you will truly be my disciples,
then you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. "
[John 8, 31-1]


The truth is this Holy-Name and it sets you free, free of the suffering, of the confusion and of the doubt. Come if you are fancy it, know that nobody will go for you :


" Ask and it will be given to you ; seek and you will find ;
knock and the door will be opened to you ".
[Matthew 7 :7]


The Christ knew this Name of God, this Word, this Verb 
and he practiced a " prayer " that was, in fact, 
the meditation taught on the path.
