Ajapa Jap : God's Chanting without Chanting

Chanting consciously could bring ego however when it happens automatically in our subconscious mind, there is no place for ego to appear. Let's take an example: How does a mother take care of her baby? Does caring for a baby means chanting/calling the baby's name continuously? No! Every action taken by the mother is for the care of the baby and the reason behind this is "The baby is in the heart of the mother" Similarly we do not have to chant God's name explicitly. When we are connected to GOD then we experience his presence within us in the form of external Joy.

Means after counting we found an answer this is called Sthul (स्थूल)  contemplation. Now same question is asked in high school i.e. " what is the answer of 2*5" then we directly give an answer 10.
