that is displeasing to him. Fall humbly at his feet and beg shelter from him, and in this way act to please him. Simply by behaving thusly, one can easily develop a taste for chanting, which in turn offers all perfection. This is confirmed in the Vedas.

"He who offends the nama-guru, or the spiritual master who initiates one into the chanting of the holy name of the Lord, falls into sinful company and adopts the viewpoint of unauthorized, sacrilegious scriptures. The nama-guru teaches scriptural conclusions and reveals the esoteric nature of the holy name. He initiates the disciple into the mantra of the holy name. The diksa-guru will generally be the nama-guru, and the diksa-mantra is actually the holy name. The mantra loses its meaning and purpose if it is separated from the holy name; simply by uttering the holy name of the Lord, the mantra is automatically chanted.

Without the self to operate the body, that body—as complex and organized as it is—is of no more value than a bag of chemicals.

"The only way to be pardoned of this offense is to forsake sinful company, cast away the unauthorized scriptures and throw oneself at the spiritual master's lotus feet repenting piteously. The spiritual master is a compassionate Vaisnava; due to his merciful nature, he'll surely be forgiving."

I, the wretched author of Harinama Cintamani, am a sinner. My only hope of redemption is the dust of the lotus of Haridasa Thakura.
