Chinna Katha: How to be in communion with God round the clock?

Once Maha Muni Narada wanted to know who was the great Bhakta in the

universe. He enquired lord Vishnu, " He! Prabhu Who is the great

Bhakta in this universe! " Naturally Maha Muni expected that Lord

would consider him as the best devotee.

 

But Lord pointed out to an unassuming person, a farmer in a remote

village. Maha Muni Narada went watched his routine closely. He found

nothing special in him. He was just leading a normal life. He had

kids and his family ties and so on. He was not even a Sanyasi like

him.

 

He was curious to know why such an ordinary man was chosen as great

Bhakta.by Lord. Lord told that in spite of his heavy schedule he

utters his name twice.

 

If lord is so merciful and considerate towards Sansaris, imagine how

he would treat us if we pray all through. 24 hours. How to chant

God's name 24 hours?

 

Lord Himself explains in the following Sloka –

 

yat karosi yad asnasi

yajjuhosi dadasi yat

yat tapas yasi kaunteya

tat kurusva mad-arpanam
