Chanting the Name includes everything. This is the highest Dharma. Drop everything and take refuge in the Name.

Nama Article 7th February 2011

 

Devotee: Bhakti is said to be of nine kinds and Nama Smaran is one of them. Am I to take it that Nama Japa is an all-inclusive Sadhana?

 

Swami Papa Ramdas : Chanting the Name includes everything. Many saints took God's Name, concentrated on the Name, and reached the highest spiritual eminence. This is the highest Dharma. Drop everything and take refuge in the Name.

 

So many people who engaged themselves in various practices have not achieved anything. Their mind is as impure as anything. What way are they spiritually benefited?
