Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008  Namaste, I will reply to your mail using a metaphor. Suppose one is about to sink in the ocean and gets hold of a boat with just one hand. Suppose he just clings on to the boat with one hand as the fierce waves of the ocean keep pushing him in all directions. Suppose a learned man comes and says "this is not the way to ride a boat. My son, climb the boat, sit down calmly inside the boat and ride out the stormy waters of the ocean". Of course, the learned man is correct. That would definitely be a better way to ride the boat! But, if the waves keep pushing the hapless man and he is unable to hold the boat with both hands and climb it, he should ensure that he is *atleast* hanging on to it with one hand. That will atleast stop him from sinking in the ocean! When the waves become less fierce and one gets an opportunity, one may be able to climb inside the boat.

May i write a few lines?Most of the times the following enlisted activities viz., walking or talking or driving or typing or reading or writing or answering nature's calls, take place in a semi-conscious state/mechanically.Utterance of the Nama/name of the Lord should take place in a fully conscious state. In other words highest value should be given to the utterance of the 'nama' as both the 'nama' and the lord are one and the same/inseparable. The person is not indeed aware about the other activities enlisted above when he is in the 'nama-yamuna'!!/nama-vrindavana!!/nama-sagara!!.The goal therefore should be to transcend from the state of mechanicalness to that of consciousness.HARE KRSNA HARE KRSNA KRSNA KRSNA HARE HAREHARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HAREBest wishes.May Mother Bless.Astrologically & spiritually yours,p.s.ramanarayanan.--- On Sun, 12/10/08, Narasimha P.V.R.
