Pronunciation Helps Concentration
 Lately I've been changing my pronunciation of the word Rama....I used to say just Ram but now I am making an effort to pronounce the whole word and it's working wonders for attentive Japa. My realisation is that we if really concentrate on the words and give an effort to hear them clearly, inattention dissolves and we can get fully absorbed in the Holy names and not our mind.  |
The individual soul is situated only within the heart of one body. But the Supreme Soul or Krishna is seated in everyone's heart. This is the distinction between the individual soul and the Supreme Soul. At the present moment due to our blunt material vision, we cannot directly perceive the presence of the either the individual soul or the Supreme Soul. But the presence of both of them can be understood by their symptoms. So even though in our present state of consciousness we cannot directly perceive them, there is tons of circumstantial evidence to confirm the existence of them both.
Krishna is everywhere. He is omnipresent. But due to our eyes being covered by the cataracts of lust, anger, greed, madness, illusion, and envy we cannot see Him. The beauty of the purificatory process of Krishna consciousness is that if we adopt it conscientiously, in due course of time we will become fully qualified to fully realize our own eternal spiritual natures and to see God face to face, eye to eye.
Chant and Be Happy:
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare
