modern day education only digs out more desire, more wants, and helps us lose
whatever little good we might have had to start with. We become even more

more devices we discover to defend ourselves, the more the fear in us
increases of possible attacks. Lack of trust and faith in Him is the general
result of the education we receive nowadays. The significance of this nAma for
us should be to realize that the joy we are seeking externally is really within
us, and to realize our true nature and become fulfilled through this realization
of the true nature of our selves.

nAma), and thus does not need the praise of the devotees. His true devotees
