And through constant repetition of the Name after the removal of sin, new sins cannot accumulate; just as when the light is kept burning in the room it can never be dark again.

Sridhara Swami commentary on Srimad Bhagavatham 6:2: 16, 17

 

Through a single utterance of the Divine Name the worst types of sin are immediately destroyed, just as the densest darkness in a closed room is removed as soon as a light is brought to the room. And through constant repetition of the Name after the removal of sin, new sins cannot accumulate; just as when the light is kept burning in the room it can never be dark again.

 

In this way gradually even the impulses of sins are destroyed and the heart is purified. That is why repeated utterance of the Name has been enjoined in the scriptures at various places as in the passage "those who remember it (the Divine Name) day and night, their sins are utterly destroyed.
