Kabir says: "Chanting of God's name is the essence of all essences"

Nama Article 12th November 2014

 

Sant Kabir

 

कबीर सुमिरण सार है, और सकल जंजाल।

आदि अंति सब सोधिया दूजा देखौं काल॥

 

Kabir says: "Chanting of God's name is the essence of all essences, and other methods are just useless; Searching from the beginning to the end I discovered that other methods lead to trouble".

 

Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

What is the essence of all the Shastras, the Brahma Sutra, the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, etc.

 

आलोङ्य सर्व शास्त्राणि विचार्यच पुनः पुनः। इदमेकं सुनिष्पन्नं ध्येयो नारायण सदा ॥

 

This is the essence of all Vedas. This is the greatest among all mantras. Nectarine Rama Nama is the heart of Vedas.

 

All acts performed are only so much useless labor if it fails to generate love towards the Lord.

 

Man feels that only the most difficult is the highest, the most difficult way is the best way. This is a very wrong notion

 

Whether your interest be in Yoga, Meditation or Vedanta, chanting Mahamantra for some time will purify your mind and enable you to proceed in your own path comfortably

 

When its recitation commences with the Divine Name Hari and concludes with the same, it is a clear and significant indication that the essence of all Vedas is about chanting the Divine Name of Hari.

 

Essence of Srimad Bhãgavatam

 

The essence of the endless Vedas is this : Seek the shelter of God and repeat His name with all thy heart.

 

What is spirituality and spiritual path? How can I continuously progress on this path?

 

Path of liberation is really simple. Chanting Divine Names incessantly leads us there in due course of time, as pointed out by great Mahatmas.

 

Having compassion of the Lord as the foundation, the one which has no rules, the one which can eradicate the force of Kali, Namakirtanam is the only resort.

 

Essence of the Vedas and all the holy scriptures is "Repeat the name of Narayana." Without the remembrance of Hari, all other practices, such as rituals and austerities, are only futile exertions.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
