In English
Both are intertwined, and any separation that one seeks to make is entirely artificial. thus symbolises unification of the two paths. Some people greet by taking one hand to the head – they do a kind of salute! This gesture is not appropriate. It gives the impression that you are knocking your head, ruing your fate or misfortune! = na + ma + skaram. The first two words mean, "I am not", and the word in full implies, "I do not have any ego." Ego brings ruin and must therefore be totally avoided. Perhaps you have some worldly desires, but excessive desires would breed ambition, which in turn would make you wicked. The only desire one must really have is for God. Saints like and clearly understood this, and made God their sole priority. They realised that God is the Indweller, and worshipped Him with great devotion. God alone can be within; no one else can. There is a person who claims to be your friend; can this friend of yours be within you? Worldly friends are external but your true friend is inside; that is God! He alone can be both inside as well as outside, and He has the right to be so! Your heart is a single-seat sofa, and there is place for only one. That one seat must be reserved for God. If you lead your life filled with this feeling, not only would your life be always happy but, in addition, you would be able to spread that happiness all around you. Your family would be happy. If families are happy, the whole village would be happy. When all villages and towns are at peace, the whole country would be peaceful. Today, we mechanically repeat , not just once but three times. The one that leads the chant is himself not at peace! Whom else is he praying for?
