There is no use of just speaking of taking medicine but one should actually take it

Nama article - 4th April 2007

Excerpts from discourse of Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

In Mãrgazhi month, we sing Ãndãl's Thiruppãvai. In this She sings, 'Pãrkadalul paiyanthuyinra Paraman adi pãdi' - 'pãdi' means sing. 'Paraman adi' - The Feet of the Lord. Sing the Feet of the Lord.

In yet another verse She sings, 'Vãyinãl pãdi manadinãl sindikka' - Sing and think of Him. 'Sing! Sing!' - She repeatedly advises, in Thiruppãvai. Only through singing Him, can you attain Bhagavãn easily.

It is a very easy path. Bhagavãn likes this path. If you sing His Name you will be bestowed with everything - job, wealth, marriage and the home where His Nãma is sung, there is peace. The home where His Nãma is sung becomes pure. The only solution for all problems is Bhagavan Nãma.

There is no use of searching for a solution outside for all your problems. When you are ill you have to take medicine.

There is no use of just speaking of taking medicine but one should actually take it.

And here we are caught up in 'Bhava roga' - the 'disease of life' for which the only medicine is Bhagavan Nãma (Name of the Lord). Therefore, sing His Name!
