It was a collective (Samashti) exercise. Large numbers of devotees assembled at one place and wrote the name of the Lord as a (spiritual exercise). The joy to be derived from such a collective effort is inde-scribable.Today there is no unity, purity or Divinity. What mankind needs today is unity based on the spiritual oneness of humanity.

All these three processes should be carried out with a pure heart. Total purity is essential for all sadhanas (spiritual disciplines). At the outset, the ego has to be destroyed. Then anger will subside. Do your duty. Do not project your ego. Develop mutual helpfulness. Carry on your work with joy. Be friendly towards each other. It is only when you behave in this manner that you will realise the benefits of Likhita Japam \u2026 Through love, eliminate your bad traits. \u2026 Members of the Sai organisation, who undertake sacred activities such as Nama Likhita Japam \u2026 should develop sacred qualities (and) purify their hearts. \u2026 Fill your minds with good thoughts and engage yourselves in good actions. Chant the Lord\u2019s name. When the ether is surcharged with the vibrations of the Divine name, the entire environment gets purified. Those who breathe this sanctified air will have pure thoughts.
