Mukti· LiberationChant and Remember the Lord Continuously
“Therefore, O sons of the King, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, is situated in everyone’s heart. He is also within your hearts. Therefore chant the glories of the Lord and always meditate upon Him continuously.”
What the purport teaches
- Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is situated in every living being’s heart. As His parts and parcels, all living entities have Him as their father.
- The instruction is to chant and meditate continuously, not merely for a few minutes. Śrīla Prabhupāda therefore asks devotees to chant at least sixteen rounds daily on their beads.
- Anyone can sit anywhere, in any condition of life, and chant the Lord’s holy names. By chanting and hearing, one automatically engages in meditation.
