addressing with heart

PRANAM, NAMASKAR, NAMASTEY, RAAM RAAM should not be a matter of just words, coming out involuntary, by force of habit, like a parrot talk, without the weight or depth implied in their meaning, but must go enriched with fullest bhaava , 

when one says naman to any one , he must really mean that he is saluting the divinity that he is seeing in him , if not better say hi, hello, and be just casual 

greetings have become meaningless, a pep talk, every one using them as often, as freely, as recklessly, as we just chat for time pass 

i recall one of my mentors, who was using every word with so much care and consideration that when i hear, i see the truth of that words really coming to my heart 
he never does any talk without impregnating every word of it with such clear authenticity that he really means 100 percent of what he says 

a pooja must not be a routine, must not become habit , a just any other activity

talk , even if it is Veda, it must not be a mere repetition, but must be delivered enriching with the true content 

a bhajan, a keerthan , may have its value, but real value of it is received or delivered only when it is done with heart .

so what ever words / greeting i may use those words are no real unless i mean them really , and not used by habit 

in such case, i better avoid such superlatives and just be plain 
i will not be inspired to use such words just for each and every bit of casual conversation

i like to address all to their souls , not the name, form 

soul can be addressed by any word of honor and reverence, like sir, madam, shri, prabhu, your holiness, swami, guruji, mathaji, divinity, bandhu, friend, atman, lord, 

addressing by name yes, is ok for all other formal or informal , other than spiritual, 
i hope this reasoning will be accepted 

for my gurus, and in sathsangs i never address by name , this is the culture i was brought up with 

here it is always a transaction on spiritual plane , It's a matter of vaak shudhi, one of the three thrikaran shudhi , and vaak must be used with utmost 
care, if done in the right way , it goes loaded with tremendous power

we greet only once when we meet first time, and then we are just friends, not needing to say every time any greetings.
.
i never say namasthe to my mother father brother sister friends relatives

the love and regard stand proved by actions , not by words , even sweet words, even devotional words 

some times it is just distraction, a time waster exchange of pleasantries, bordering on sycophancy, artificiality, since it has become a routine habit meaning nothing 

athi vinayam dhoortha lakshanam 

excessive humility is a sign of the wicked

so better i come direct to the point , without referring the names also, 
as , it is clear on the board of st who replies to whom
