Swamiji begins by saying that doing Japa and chanting is superior to worshipping an idol. Worship with the Mind is still more effective than Japa etc. Understanding through the intelligence that there is no existence besides God, is the most superior form of worship.

The entire Sadhana of a seeker is mind-based, intelligence-based. The intelligence must constantly instill qualities and excellences in the mind, that are necessary for a seeker of Truth. Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam present qualities to be cultivated by an earnest Sadhaka. These constitute spiritual wisdom. A seeker must constantly churn the mind with the qualities that will lead him to the Ultimate Knowledge.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

सत्येन लभ्यस्तपसा ह्येष आत्मा
सम्यक् ज्ञानेन ब्रह्मचर्येण नित्यम् ।
अन्तःशरीरॆ ज्योतिर्मयो हि शुभ्रो
यं पश्यन्ति यतयः क्षीणदोषाः ।।
Mundakopanishad 3.1.5

मुनिः प्रसन्नगम्भीरो दुर्विगाह्यो दुरत्ययः ।
अनन्तपारो ह्यक्षोभ्यः स्तिमितोद इवार्णवः ।।
Srimad Bhaagavatam 11.8.5
