Excerpts from Sri Shantananda Puri's discourse

One should make it a habit to take the Name of God frequently. Every time a question is put forth to you, stop a while. Do not answer immediately. Take the Name of the Lord twice -- Loudly or within your mind. Say the Name again twice after answering. So, that makes it four times. In a day there are about 200 questions thrown at you. Therefore, 200 X 4 makes it 800. Very easily you utter the Name of the Lord 800 times a day! "
