“Therefore, Amogha, get up and chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra! If you do so, Kṛṣṇa will unfailingly bestow mercy upon you.”

A brāhmaṇa can chant on the platform of nāmābhāsa, but not pure vibration. Serving the Lord with full understanding of one’s eternal relationship is called abhidheya; at this stage one is a Vaiṣṇava, free from contamination and material attachment.
