So we have to practice this, that Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. If we practice, there is chance at the time of death repeating the same thing, Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. So immediately you are saved, not to go to the yama-mandira. The powerful name, holy name, is as good as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. There is no difference. Absolute. Absolute means . . . just like here, if I simply chant "mango, mango, mango," there is no mango. Mango is different from the name mango. If I want to eat mango, the substance mango I must have. So there is difference between the name and its substance. That is material—duality. But in the absolute world there is . . . means there's no duality. The name mango and mango: the same. This requires advanced knowledge. So there is no difference between Kṛṣṇa the name and Kṛṣṇa the person. There is no difference. Otherwise, this is practical. You're chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa. Twenty-four hours you can chant, you'll never feel tired. But if you chant any other thing . . . (break)

. . . etādṛśī tava kṛpā bhagavān mamāpi durdaivam īdṛśam ihājani nānurāgaḥ ([[Vanisource:CC Antya 20.16|CC Antya 20.16]], Śikṣāṣṭaka 2). God realization . . . The faithless atheist class, they say, "There is no God." But let him chant the God's holy name, he'll see God. There is no difficult process of . . . in the Kali-yuga especially, this is a special prerogative of this age because God realization is very, very difficult for them. But if they take advantage of Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mercy . . . it is . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mercy means it is perpetual. Not that because Caitanya Mahāprabhu has introduced the saṅkīrtana movement, therefore the name is as good as the person. No. It is always, the name Nārāyaṇa or Kṛṣṇa, the name of the Supreme Lord, is as good as the Su . . . it is always. But in this age especially it has got special potency. That is the . . . because we are all very, very fallen souls. (child crying) (aside) The child. We are very, very fallen souls. We cannot do anything. It is very, very difficult. Although at any time, as it is said before, kevalayā bhaktyā. Kecit kevalayā bhaktyā vāsudeva-parāyaṇāḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 6.1.15|SB 6.1.15]]). Simply by bhakti, devotional service, one can become liberated from all contamination. That's a fact, especially in this age. Otherwise why the Europeans and Americans, they will join this movement and chant if there is no effective measure? Why? They are not fools, rascals; they are educated. They're coming from respectable family. It is not that we are befooling them to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and dance. No. They are feeling ecstasy. That's a fact. Not blindly they are doing. Not only in one place—hundreds of centers. Why? That is the effect of chanting. If you chant, you get the effect, because the holy name and the Supreme Lord, there is no difference.
