The jewel of Ram Nam is in every heart, but people use its light merely to indulge in the senses. Although the Name which is capable of bestowing the highest joy is within every heart, all creatures suffer misery. Abandon all desires and meditate on the Holy Name.


"As a snake which is supposed to possess a luminous gem, uses its glow only to catch insects. Similarly, the jewel of Ram Nam is in every heart, but people use its light merely to indulge in the senses. Although the Name which is capable of bestowing the highest joy is within every heart, all creatures suffer misery. Abandon all desires and meditate on the Holy Name. The soul is extremely lucky to receive a human existence, which is difficult even for the gods to get and which is praised by all the Scriptures. It is just right for spiritual endeavours and is the gateway to liberation. Only by the great mercy and grace of God does a soul receive a human body. Only in this existence can it find the way to perfect peace and joy. A person who, even after getting this rare opportunity, wastes his life in sense-pleasures and idle pastimes is ungrateful wretch, a sinner and a spiritual suicide case." ~ Ramayana. Chanting is very powerful tool to reach him. By keeping his powerful name on the tongue we feel very near to God. Remember there is supreme Shiva almighty whom we can turn to when we are in troubles. But The mind simply forgets. To keep it always in a state of remembrance, always chant his name. The name is greater than both the Unconditioned form of God and the Conditioned form. It bestows boons on the bestowers of boons. Acc to Ramayana, Lord Shiva, understanding the essence of the scriptures, remembers Ram Nam himself. ~ Jai Shri Ram ~ Jai Shiva Shankar!!
