Re: How to avoid liberationism in our devotional service?
Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna!
Thank you very much, dear Swami Gaurangapada, for the authoritative answer. You have stressed the association of pure unalloyed devotees of Their Lordships Nityaananda and Gauraanga for overcoming this obstacle on our progressive path to the spiritual world.
You also mentioned chanting of the pure Name as a means to overcome the desire for liberation. I fully agree and I have one further inquiry in this connection.
Let's suppose I am not on that platform of chanting the holy name of the Lord purely. This position is attained by someone who has developed his love of Godhead. Thus it is possible for him/her to chant the holy name constantly due to his/her great taste and attachment.
But if we in our neophyte state of trying to get rid of the anarthas and bad habits attempt to chant constantly in order to become purified will this desire for constant chanting be tinged with "liberationism" and thus making it impossible to actually chant constantly?
In short words: Is constant chanting recommended for us?
Thank you very much!
Your servant: Sarvabhauma das
