Hari-Nama Man

Good japa is the goal
of a satisfied life. It’s
such a simple yet
elusive thing. All you have
to do is clear your mind of
distractions and concentrate
on softly, gently, reverently
reciting Hare, Krishna and Rama.
We have made our lives so
cluttered with other things
that we can’t take simple
pleasure in the single most
important thing. But some
days are better and you
have a dawn of hope that
you could become a hari–
nama man.
