So it is important on the spiritual path, if you want to know God, to begin to cut new grooves in your brain, new grooves of positive, devotional thoughts about God. Whether you are a teacher, or working with mathematics, or lecturing, or cooking in a kitchen as a housewife, or doing any other kind of work, every moment cut one single groove: "My God, my God, my God, my God." You mustn't be absentminded though. All the time I am thinking: "O my Lord, show me the way to please You. I want to live in this world only to please You." I find such intoxicating joy in that. I can't imagine any other way of living. It is blissful. Every time you take His name you find a fresh flow of joy, a fresh flow of love pouring into your heart, pouring into your consciousness.
