"If you want to have more purity, you can do one more spiritual exercise which is most effective. You all know the significance of AUM, the name of God. To start with, on Sunday you will repeat the sacred name of God, the Supreme, one hundred times; Monday, two hundred; Tuesday, three hundred; Wednesday, four hundred; Thursday, five hundred; Friday, six hundred; Saturday, seven hundred. Then on the following Sunday you come down to six hundred; Monday five hundred, and so on, to four hundred, three hundred, two hundred and one hundred. If you want to establish Purity all around you, inside you, within and without, then this is the most effective spiritual exercise. Without purity nothing can remain permanently in our nature, in our body, in our system, in our life. Purity is needed. If one lacks purity, then no divine Truth can stay within him permanently. But whenever there is purity, peace, light, bliss, and power will be able to function most successfully and most truthfully."

Japa is bound to bring purity into your system. But each time you do japa, you have to feel the significance of the word you are repeating. Otherwise it will become mechanical and meaningless. When somebody wants water from the ground he has to dig for many days. If he digs for only one day he will get no result. Each time he digs, if he is conscious of his purpose, he will reach water more quickly than otherwise. Each time you do japa you have to feel that purity is entering you or you are entering into a sea of purity. If you feel that purity will enter into you permanently if you can only complete five or six or seven hundred repetitions, you will be disappointed in your expectation. With each repetition you must consciously strike at a certain spot. Then eventually abundant purity comes into your life.

"Japa should not be done just before going to bed. If japa is done one thousand, two thousand or three thousand times, the mind will become agitated because the body wants to enter into the world of sleep. The aspirant will repeat, "Supreme, Supreme, Supreme, …" but he will only be working the mind like a machine. If he continues beyond his capacity his mind will become agitated. Then he will suffer because he will not get proper sleep. Japa should be done in the morning or during the day. But it should be done only one hundred or two hundred or at most three hundred times before going to bed."
