Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Dear Members, God's name destroys sin DEVOTEE: " Sir, we are sinners. What will happen to us? " SRI RAMAKRISHNA: " All the sins of the body flyaway if one chants the name of God and sings His glories. The birds of sin dwell in the tree of the body. Singing the name of God is like clapping your hands. As, at a clap of the hands, the birds in the tree flyaway, so do our sins disappear at the chanting of God's name and glories. " Again, you find that the water of a reservoir dug in a meadow is evaporated by the heat of the sun. Likewise, the water of the reservoir of sin is dried up by the singing of the name and glories of God. " You must practice it every day. The other day, at the circus, I saw a horse running at top speed, with an Englishwoman standing on one foot on its back. How much she must have practiced to acquire that skill! " Weep at least once to see God. " These, then, are the two means: practice and passionate attachment to God, that is to say, restlessness of the soul to see Him.
