Let this moment hold you like it once held me.

This isn’t old, it’s eternal.

In a dream I was shown that when I'm chanting "Hare Rama Hare Krishna",

it's like I'm riding in the chariot that's being guided by Krishna,

that has Hanuman flying over it, protecting it.

And as long as I'm chanting the Mantra,

as long as I'm hearing the Mantra,

hearing the silence behind it simultaneously (the sound of the Real Mantra beyond it, simultaneously),

God is here.

It's always here.

But the Mantra keeps me aware of the Reality. 

And then I'm back to chanting, back to hearing, back to feeling, back to clapping, singing, knowing:

I have no problem.

I am not broken.

I am not worthless.

I am (worth) Love.

I am worth rest.

I am worth kindness.

I am worth protection.

I am worth You, God. 

"Unknown I will walk by your side and guard you with invisible arms." - Yogananda 

I Love You

I Am You

"Don't consider chanting the name to be a mere practice. The Name itself is God." -Muktananda

"Creation was spoken with one sounc

BE

The two letters, B and E

to record it came after.

The meaning of the sound and its resonance

are one.

There's no way to ever say this in so many words! And no place to stop saying it." - Rumi

"Love has taken away my practices and filled me with poetry.

I tried to keep quietly repeating,

No strength but yours, but I couldn't.

I had to clap and sing.

I used to be respectable and chaste and stable,

but who can stand in this strong wind and remember those things?

A mountain keeps an echo deep inside itself.

That's how I hold your voice." -Rumi

"What we want is neither happiness nor misery.

Both make us forget our real nature, both are chains, one iron, one gold." - Vivekenananda 

"Since your physical body itself is composed of the very energy that drives the universe, then there is nothing about you which that energy is unaware of.

Simply repeating these ideas to yourself can result in release of tension and an acceleration of the healing process.

The unconscious levels of the self are only unconscious front your own viewpoint. They are quite conscious in actuality.

These portions can also be communicated with.

Relax yourself as much as possible..." - Seth 

"Keeping your mantra going keeps you going." - Bhagavan Das 

"The effect and the potency of the mantra can never be fully measured, because mantra is nothing but the verbal form (sound form) of supreme god. So, its limitless, immeasur-able, and it cannot be explained by words or thoughts, cannot be fully contemplated by mind, it can only be experienced and because it cannot be expressed through words, thoughts or actions it is termed as the secret.

The oneness (non-dual nature) of the mantra, the one who chants, and the one who is attained through the mantra (the supreme absolute god) is the greatest secret."- Koushik K.

"The holy name of the Lord and the Lord are nondifferent; therefore, when a devotee chants Hare Krsna, Krsna, and His internal potency are dancing on the tongue of the devotee." -Srila Prabhupada
