You become that
Words possess power through the vibrational qualities of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Chanting connects one to the divine master, providing the energy to cross the ocean of life. The sacred name signifies surrender, creating a connection from the disciple to the master's feet, which are described as a source of liberating light. Ancient sages achieved immortality and mastery, yet humans in this age have lost connection to the Earth. The cosmic cycle of ages turns, and in the current age, negative forces are powerful. A story tells of a sage who angrily approached Vishnu, the protector, to plead for the suffering world. Vishnu blessed the sage, declaring that the master's feet would be worshipped for granting liberation. True devotion is tested, as shown by a story where a disciple is asked to find a heart for his master, revealing the depth of surrender required. Practice of yoga and breath is essential for health and turning the mind inward. One must research all of existence to perfect understanding and achieve contentment.
"Oṁ Namo Śrī Prabhudīp Nārāyaṇa... Namo means salutation. 'I bow to your holiness. I surrender to thy holy feet.'"
"Bhagavān Viṣṇu said, 'yours, the sādhu, the master, their feet will be worshipped, your toes will be worshipped.'"
