The Name- Glorification 328
Rammohan G
Narottama Das Thakur also expressed this lamentation of the devotee who wants to engage in Krsna consciousness but who cannot taste the nectar of devotional service due to his material attachments. Narottam says, “What good is my life? I know with my mind and intellect and even within my heart that this chanting is everything, but I don’t like to chant. I don’t like to associate with the devotees, and I don’t like to take part in this sankirtana movement. I must be cursed. What is the sense of being alive?”
He does not want material life, but he cannot taste the holy name. This is not our permanent despair, but it produces that helpless condition. We don’t chant for any material or even spiritual benefit in terms of liberation, but we know that this chanting is everything – except we just can’t taste it. By surrendering in this way to the holy name – that is helplessness.
