In the same way, the clouds of anarthas and the fog of ignorance are obstructing our experience of the holy name of the Lord. And the process for cleansing these clouds of anarthas and ignorance within the heart is the chanting of the holy name of the Lord and hearing the pastimes of the Lord. And in the association of devotees of the Lord, by hearing such narrations, it awakens our faith. That is the whole purpose of maintaining this body, to awaken our faith in the Lord. It is should be the goal of everything that we do in this world, to awaken our faith in Lord.
