The Name- Glorification 315
Rammohan G
As I was chanting my japa in the company of disciples, I was lamenting how my japa is mechanical. Then I looked up at the painting on the temple wall. The painting was a crude rendition of Lord Chaitanya dancing in kirtana with His eternal associates. I could appreciate the artistry was crude. It then occurred to me that my japa and my other devotional service, although lamentably lacking, has a genuine standing withing the realm of devotional service, just as this painting of Lord Chaitanya does. This thought encourages me.
The lamentable gap exists – between where I am now and where I want to be in devotional service – but nevertheless, there is now a real place for me in pure devotional service. I pray to be able to see and appreciate it even as I can see Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes in this simple devotional painting on the wall.
