Pankaja_Dasa 1 Report post Posted April 5, 2005 Hare Krishna, Had one realization while chanting Hare Krishna like to share. When chanting I meditated on this Siksastakam verse. And my mind was 'stilled'. Like for example In the joke- If a tree falls in a forest then does it make a sound?' So Humbleness, Tolerance, Pridelessness, Respecting-all. trnad api sunicena taror api sahisnuna amanina manadena kirtaniyah sada harih One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
