Murkha Raj: Excuse me, Swamiji. You are again creating some doubt in my mind. If I shall be freed by uttering His Name once, why should I go on repeating it? After I amfreed from sin, even if I am to die any moment, I will only go to heaven. Jnana Dev: I shall give you an example to illustrate the Truth behind this. Take the case of a lantern—what is its purpose? Murkha Raj: It is there to remove darkness during night when we light the lantern. Jnana Dev: All right. When once the lantern is lit, is not the darkness removed? Murkha Raj: Yes. Jnana Dev: Can we put out the lantern when once the darkness is removed? Murkha Raj: If we put out the lantern, there will be darkness again? Jnana Dev: That is the answer to your question then. Sins are removed by uttering the Mantra once, but they will again come to you when you stop uttering the Mantra. (Exclaims.) Murkha Raj: Good God! Where is an end to this? Jnana Dev: When do you put out the lantern? Murkha Raj: When day breaks and there is the light of the Sun. |
