O Lord, just as a miser continually collects, counts and remembers his money, in the same way let us continually collect, count, and remember Your holy names

विचेयानि विचार्याणि

विचिन्त्यानि पुनः पुनः ।

कृपणस्य धनानीव

त्वन्नामानि भवन्तु नः ॥


O Lord, just as a miser continually collects, counts and remembers his money, in the same way let us continually collect, count, and remember Your holy names.


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

Develop divine love towards Him above anything else


As the lovers think of their beloved while eating, drinking or playing and as the misers think of their wealth, those who want to advance spiritually must think of the Lord in the same way. They must think of the Lord and Lord alone.


It is possible for everyone to see God.


If you want God alone, why do you accept the existence of anything else ?


Meditate God as a fish with out water leaves its life


It is not the count or time that matters. It is the intensity that matters.


So why not take to that alone and do it in an intense manner with complete faith, instead of confusing yourself with a multitude of practices?


Will the Lord appear to you at your sudden call? No. You must yearn for Him in your heart! It's enough If only you chant His name; At once your fetters will fall.


What We Think We Become


So, if one wants God, one's whole heart must be given to Him. The one sole objective of the devotee is to pray to Him, to take His Name and to dedicate his whole life to His service.
