What is the significance of constant remembrance of the Lord's Name? As we observe Ashadi Ekadashi, the time when people make their pilgrimage to Pandharipur, Bhagawan gives us the example of one such devotee of Lord Panduranga.
Sat-chit-ananda is manifest in man as supreme bliss—the Divine bliss. This bliss is present in man as his spiritual essence. Man has no need to go after trivial pleasures when he has this eternal bliss within himself. He will experience this bliss when he gets rid of the attachment to the body born out of delusion and ignorance. Sakkubai was one who had realised this truth and was in continuous contemplation of the Lord’s name. Recognising the intensity of her devotion, Krishna assumed her form and sent her to Pandharipur. You can see the greatness of Bhagawan’s love for the devotee. Assuming the devotee’s form, the Lord performed all her domestic chores and enabled her to go to Pandharipur. God sees to it that the devotee is not exposed to calumny. He saw to it that no one pointed the finger of criticism at Sakkubai for her absence from the house. He himself assumed the form of Sakkubai and did all the household work. Sakkubai went to Pandharipur and merged in the Lord there. The power of faith is incalculable. With faith, any difficult task can be carried out. This truth cannot be understood in worldly affairs. It must be recognised that chanting the name of the Lord is highly sacred and efficacious. It serves to remove the impurities in a person. It promotes good and sacred thoughts.
