Devotional mood and chanting of holy name
Anta Bhakti Anischitam
Sarva Netrani Nama Moti
Kriya Mat Prabhullam Dehi
Yuge Yuge Adhisthami
At the end devotion is uncertain though it is visible that every one chants holy name. By engaging one into my service one can become happy in body, mind and soul by establishing me on their heart
PURPORT:
It is mentioned that by chanting holy name everyone can achieve supreme goal in life. But though it is visible that everyone always chanting name of Lord but how many remain completely devoted to the "Nama Bhava" until end of life? Very few devotees get such mood of chanting and enjoying name of Lord until their end. Some one give up chanting after few days, some one may be in months, and again some one within years. Thus, ultimately the enjoyment of chanting name of Lord is very limited to very very limited numbers of elevated souls. Thus, it is simple to engage in service of Lord. If one is engaged in service of Lord, one gets many ways to become happy. One can remain happy within body mind and soul by performing devotional services and actions. As this universe is dynamic, that's why service and action is simple and natural. Sitting quietly is unnatural in many of eyes. Chant and be Happy is the mood of Lord's highest favor to very few. But action and services are Lord's natural favor to many. Because of the natural favor which is already given, uncertainty of devotional mood does not exist because of its dynamic nature. Where as chanting and be Happy mood is Lord's mercy as long as Lord sits in heart, so long Lord and devotees enjoy same devotional mood and happiness. But when Lord moves away from the heart of devotee because of natural call, devotee remains in dry. This kind of mood had been exhibited by Mohaprabhu in many times. Sometimes Mohaprbhu was very exuberant and energetic, full of happiness and joy, again sometime is very dry and somber. So it is like on and off, day and night. But look at other ordinary devotees, those who are in actions, duties and service, there mood is always full of enjoyment and love. Thus, there is three way one can enjoy devotional services to Lord Hari 1) Chant and Be Happy 2) Devotional service with duties and performing actions 3) Chant and Be Happy with devotional Service with duties and performing actions. Depending on the mood of devotees, their spiritual master can prescribe one or other. And again based on the growth in devotional services that prescription can be changed later. But the question is, which should be first and which one be last? That is always remain with Lord's mercy and devotees own choice. Ultimately remaining in complete Bhakti at the end is ultimate goal of every devotee and that is only the mercy of Lord. All glory to Lord Hari! All glory to Pancha Tattva! All glory to Prabhupada! All glory to Mohaprabhu! All glory to associates Vaisnavas! Hare Krsna! Haribol!
