The three rules to find the way home are known to us. They are:-1) to known god. 2) To love God. 3) To serve God.

Besides, we have to pray to God daily. All these things require us to utter God’s name. We have to utter His name several times a day.

We know that God is the sources of all goodness, power, knowledge, justices and creation. Therefore we call Him by different names:-

1) God is all –creating or omnific.

2) God is all-knowing or omniscient.

3) God is all –powerful or omnipotent.

4) God is everywhere or omnipresent.

5) God is all –holy and all-just.

We have a national flag-tricolor. It is the symbol of our national honor. It is held in high esteem. We salute it. We stand to attention before it. We use it only under certain rules.

But God is the master of all. He is omnipotent. He is much more honorable than our flag.

So, we must utter God’s name with respect. We must use His name carefully. We must not use it in a cheap and careless way. We must also use god’s name only on certain occasions.

We can use God’s name:-

1) When we pray to Him.

2) When we read holy books.

3) When we read books on Moral Science.

4) When we are before a judge or a magistrate.

5) When we wish something good for others.

But people are generally careless. They use God’s name just like a common word. `By God’ has become a common oath with such people. It is very bad.

We must not use God’s name for common oaths. We must remember that God is all –holy. So, His name cannot be used in an unholy way. Any unbecoming word should not be used for god, the Lord of all. He is all-good and great.

Those who use God’s name with disrespect always suffer. So, never swear by god for nothing. A person who swears in ordinary matters is not a good man. Clearly, he is a liar. He takes oath just to cover his lies.

A person who does not tell lies need not swear. People know that he is truthful. So, they believe him easily.

So, we must learn to use God’s name respectfully. It shall help us always remember God, the Creator of all. God’s name is the best thing us. It will help us at every step during the journey to our True Home. We have to acquire certain qualities. Without them, we shall not be able to cover the journey, remembering God and uttering His name with respect is a must for us. This is the first quality that we should acquire.
