Passage 27

In English

Man can connect with God by chanting His Name. Here is a small story to illustrate it. Once a big function was organised to inaugurate the supply of water to villagers. A water tank was built and a golden tap was fixed with the tank. Some high dignitary was invited as Chief Guest to inaugurate the supply of water by opening the golden tap. A large number of villagers gathered there to witness the function. However, when the Chief Guest opened the tap, the water did not come out of the tap. The reason was that the organisers forgot to open the valve which connected the tank with the river which was the source of water. The source is God, the tap is the devotee and valve that connects the devotee with the source is the Name of God. Unless the connecting value is opened, the grace of God in the form of water cannot flow. When the devotee connects with God by chanting His Name, Divine grace flows towards him.
