Your heart is like a mirror and pure so as we live in this materialistic world so your heart becomes covered with ignorance, ego, attachment, greed, anger and fear. The soul starts forgetting the real purpose and start assuming that these materialistic things are the reality. So, once you start chanting the name of “Krishna”, your soul start understanding the difference between the reality and illusion.

If you star chanting this name with utmost sincerity and awareness then the vibration of this name directly touches your soul and heart. Chanting means you are cleansing your soul, mind and body completely because it is the cleansing process. Your heart can not reflect divine consciousness when it is blurred with the dust. Through Nama Japa, you can become pure and these impurities which you have gradually dissolve. This process of Nama Japa is so powerful as it purifies your soul. According to Mahaprabhu, this Nama Japa path is accessible to everyone. You must have seen, people do austerities, get into complex rituals but here he emphasizes on chanting because it does not require any rule and qualification. One does not need money, scholarship, and social status. It needs pure heart, devotion and consistency. Irrespective of caste, country and religion, anyone can chat this holy name of Krishna.
