Singing the Lord's name should become an exercise in mutual sharing of joy and holiness

[Guest guest]

The mind is sometimes characterized as a snake. This is because it doesn't move straight. It sizzles over the earth in a zig-zag course. It delights in crooked strategems and clever contrivances. It avoids the straight path of sincerity and veracity. But, the snake mind can be charmed into innocence. When the snake charmer blows the nadaswara instrument, the snake sways its hood entranced; so, too the mind will sway in unison with the music that emanates from the recitation of the Name of God!
