Jnanadev says: The cherished treasure which is always with me is remembering his Name only

Nama Article 6th November 2008

 

Haripath - Sant Gnyaneshwar

 

Meaning

 

Those who don't chant the Name of the Lord accumulate a mountain of sin which surrounds them like a diamond-hard shell.

 

He, the meanest, is not devoted. Being a non-devotee, he is not able to chant His name due to the result of his previous deeds.

 

How can those who are ceaselessly gossiping ever attain the vision of God?

Jnanadev says: The cherished treasure which is always with me is remembering his Name only.
