Why and how should we chant the Name of the Lord?

 Just as calcium and vitamin tablets are given to cure anaemia, take Repetition-of-the-Name tablets to get rid of mental anaemia and other illnesses. There are some throat pastilles, which you must carry in your mouth and whose taste you must slowly swallow to relieve cough; similarly, repeat the Name on your tongue and imbibe its taste slowly to get rid of troublesome upsurge of passions and emotions. Keep the Name lit on your tongue; it will illumine your interior and the exterior. It will cleanse your mind as well as minds of those who hear the Name when you recite it. Keeping it on the tongue is like keeping a lamp lit on the doorstep at the entrance to your house. Repetition of Name (Namasmarana) is the best spiritual discipline; the most beneficial good action. It is the highest prayer and most profitable spiritual exercise. Kuchela won the grace of the Lord through the same means. Fill the Name with your love whenever you repeat it; saturate it with devotion. That is the easiest path for all of you.
