When chanting repeat themselves in the background of the mind it brings great joy even when one is in the thick of the battle of activity

Nama Article 27th October 2009

 

Paramhansa Yogananda

 

Chanting when repeated in solitude or in congregational singing, with great devotion, it will be found that the songs subconsciously repeat themselves in the background of the mind bringing great joy even when one is in the thick of the battle of activity.

 

Gradually the subconscious repetition will change into superconscious realization, bringing the actual perception of God. One must chant deeper and deeper until all chanting changes into subconscious and then superconscious chanting which brings one into the divine Presence.
