When one thinks deeply about all these, one can see that desire is the root cause of all illusion or 2. When we think of Krishna and try to see Him in everything, we understand that desire is the root cause of all illusion. . We can take the meaning of the above two lines in two ways. If we take first meaning, Poonthaanam is repeating the name of Krishna at the beginning to express his opinion that only Bhagavaan's namam can remove the root cause of illusion, " desire " from our mind. Even if people feel or understand temporarily that desire is the root cause of all problems, they do not do anything about that. We can say that Poonthaanam used Krshna! Krshna! as an expression instead of " Oh! God " , to show how sad he was! If we take the second meaning, Poonthaanam says that the constant or uninterrupted thought of Bhagavaan will dawn in us the realisation that desire is the root cause of all illusion. ( I personally like this meaning better than the first one). When our mind is filled with Bhagavaan's sweet presence, where is the room for any other material desires? So just by chanting Bhagavaan's divine names, mind gets purified and slowly refuses to become a servant of desires. Here Poonthaanam repeated the naamam " Krishna " to express how, only Bhagavaan's namam can help us to remove the root cause of illusion from our heart. We can connect these two lines with the previous stanza by saying that once we understand that desire is the root cause of illusion, we become real vidwaans or scholars. This realization tells us that vidya is that knowledge by knowing which one comes to know everything. From apara vidya one can slowly progress towards achieving para vidya. Let us chant Bhagavaan's divine names along with Shri Poonthaanam and millions of other devotees around the world. Krishna! Krishna! Mukunda! Janaardana! Krishna! Govinda! Naaraayana! Hare! Achyuthaananda! Govinda! Maadava! Sachidaananda! Naaraayana! Hare!
