When we hear about the Lord, we should hear with a spirit to serve the Lord. When we chant his names, we should chant so that He is pleased to hear us chanting. That is the beauty of life, the real art of living.
Two Kinds of Cleanliness
Cleanliness is essential for making advancement in spiritual life. There are two kinds of cleanliness: external and internal.
