Nama Article-62

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

" Source: The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna "

 

Power of God's name

 

Sri Ramakrishna says " Worldly people will never listen

to you if you ask them to renounce everything and

devote themselves whole-heartedly to God. Therefore

Chaitanya and Nitai, after some deliberation, made an

arrangement to attract the worldly. They would say to

such persons, 'Come, repeat the name of Hari, and you

shall have a delicious soup of magur fish and the

embrace of a young woman.' Many people, attracted by

the fish and the woman, would chant the name of God.

After tasting a little of the nectar of God's hallowed

name, they would soon realize that the 'fish soup'

really meant the tears they shed for love of God,

while the 'young woman' signified the earth. The

embrace of the woman meant rolling on the ground in

the rapture of divine love.

 

" Nitai would employ any means to make people repeat

Hari's name. Chaitanya said: 'The name of God has very

great sanctity. It may not produce an immediate

result, but one day it must bear fruit. It is like a

seed that has been left on the cornice of a building.

After many days the house crumbles, and the seed falls

on the earth, germinates, and at last bears fruit.'

 

Regards

Let’s Chant
