The value of chanting His name is immeasurable

Nama Article 29th October 2007
 
Haripath - Sant Gnyaneshwar
 

Meaning

 

One who ascends, even for a moment, To the threshold of God

Will assuredly attain the four stages of Liberation.

 

Therefore, chant the name of Hari . Yes, chant the name of Hari!

The value of chanting His name is immeasurable;

 

So let your tongue eagerly chant the name of Hari .

The authors of the Vedas and the various scriptures Have all proclaimed this path with their arms

upraised.

 

Jnanadev says: chant Hari's name; The Lord will then become your slave,

Just as Krishna became the servant of the Pandavas, As Vyasa, the poet, has so excellently told.
