Radhanath Swami on As pure water from the sky
When it rains, the water that comes from the sky is crystal clear. But when it comes on to ground it becomes full of mud. My question is what is the nature of water? Is it clear or is it muddy? It’s clear, but when it is mixed with other things then it appears muddy.
In truth it is always pure. We simply have to separate what is water and what is not. That is the process of filtration. When we filter water, all of the dirt is in the filter and the water is again in its clear state, pure state.
Similarly, our consciousness is by nature eternal, full of knowledge and full of bliss, full of joy, full of pleasure. But, like rain water, our consciousness is now mixed with so many superficial external impurities. Through the process of filtration, by the chanting of God’s names, our consciousness becomes clear, it becomes transparent. With clear consciousness, we can perceive God; we can be happy within and find peace within. In fact, there is no other place to find peace.

Not getting contaminated even while staying in this world is a tough task but possible by strong sadhana and attentive chanting.
As Radhanath Swami said correctly our true nature is pure but due to contact with material nature our consciousness is contaminated

Beautifully explained by Radhanath Swami. Our consciousness is now contaminated and we need a way to purify the same – chanting holynames is the best way to do it
