The only substantial thing is the Name of Hari; all the worldly objects are mere trash

Nama Article 27th July 2011

 

Sant Kabir

 

I have tried all efficacious drugs; none is equal to the Name;

Even a small quantity of It entering the system transforms the whole body into pure gold;

 

The only substantial thing is the Name of Hari; all the worldly objects are mere trash;

Like unto a dew drop which is mistaken for a pearl and which vanishes in no time;

 

The moment one installs the Name in his heart, all the sins are destroyed,

Just as spark of fire, dropped on parched grass, burns it in no time.

We would feel that there is none as rich as we are because we have got such a Guru Ratnam

 

There is no distinction between the Divine Name and the Divinity Himself; for the Name is the invaluable wish fulfilling gem that has come down to this earth as an incarnation of the blissful consciousness of the Divinity.

 

I have found, yes, I have found the wealth of the "Divine Name – Rama" the gem; My true guru gave me a priceless thing

 

Why should we chant the Lord's name repeatedly if it is true that the utterance of His Name just once shall burn up the sins?

 

A single Name is so powerful that one cannot commit as many sins as it can erase even if he were to take a vow to commit only sins
