One can purify the mind by the chanting process, just as one can purify gold by putting it in a fire and fanning it with a bellows.
Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.10,
Srila Prabhupada
The holy name is Krishna Himself, but only if we are chanting without offences. Offences prevent us from associating with Krishna.
If we hear properly, the holy name will enter through our ears into the region of our heart and shower down nectar. When we are lost in the ocean of nectar, we will see Krishna.
Of all sacrifices, the chanting of Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is the purest representation of Krishna.
