About doing the repetition of the divine name and meditation, and achievement of Godhood, Shirdi Sai Baba had this to say:
Shirdi Sai Baba on the Repetition of the Divine Name and Meditation
While doing the repetition of the name of the Lord or Guru, or meditation, keep your mind steady and do it with concentration.
Avoid contact of the mind with sensory objects, that is, sound, touch, form, taste and smell, and do the repetition of the name, getting immersed in it.
Know that the knowledge of the universe and its perception can be be attained only by self knowledge.
When you can go from finite to infinite, when you can go from untruth to truth and from death to deathless state, then only do you attain benefit by the repetition of the name of the Lord or Guru, and meditation.
Know this world to be an illusion. Do your duty which is allocated to you and this will not lead you to misery.
Keep your mind steady. It is going round and round like a whirlpool; do your spiritual practices in search of the ultimate truth.
Aatma or the 'self' is kindness personified. To attain purification, you have to merge your mind in the Self or Aatma.
Get the staunch knowledge of "Aham Brahma Asmi" or "I am Brahman". He, who sees himself in all beings and sees all beings in himself, attains the divine state of Godhood.
