The passionate and ignorant (Rajasic and Tamasic) forces besieging your heart are bent on your downfall. Just as they give calcium and vitamin tablets to cure anaemia, take Repetition-of-the-Name tablets to get rid of mental anaemia and other illnesses. The Lord’s Name is the Narasimha for the Hiranyakasipu of the mind (the Avatar Narasimha slew the evil Hiranyakasipu). There are some throat pastilles or lozenges, which you have to keep in your mouth and swallow slowly in order to relieve a cough; similarly, keep the Lord’s Name on your tongue and imbibe its taste slowly to get rid of the troublesome upsurge of passions and emotions. Keep the Name lit on the tongue; it will illumine your interior and also the exterior. It will cleanse your mind as well as minds of those who listen to the Name when you recite it. Keeping it on the tongue is like keeping a lamp lit on the entrance doorstep of your house.
