chanting Hare Krishna at the time of

Imported quote 18853

So as this material creation has begun from material sound under the agitating, impelling method by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, similarly, by spiritual sound you can get out of it, because sound is the central point. When it is mixed with tama, tamo-guna, then the material creation begins. So similarly, if you directly catch up that sound... The sound is sabda-brahma. Sound is actually spiritual, the Vedic sound om, omkara. Omkarasmi sarva-vedesu. So Vedic sound begins: om. So that is a sound. So if we capture that sound and make further progress, sabdad anavrtti... In the Vedanta-sūtra it is there, anavrtti: no more repetition of birth and death. Omkara. If one can chant omkara at the time of death, he immediately transferred to the spiritual world, impersonal spiritual effulgence. But if you can chant Hare Krsna, then immediately you go to the spiritual planet. These are stated in the Bhagavad-gita. Anta-kale, at the time of death, if you can capture this sound, omkara or Hare Krsna... If you capture omkara, then you are transferred to the spiritual sky. As it is said, the sky. Sabdat... Sabda-matram abhūt nabhaḥ. Nabha is sky. So there is a point wherefrom the sky, the material sky, begins and there is spiritual sky. The sky is spiritual wherefrom the sabda is resounded. Because there is sky, therefore there is sound. Because there is sound, therefore the instrument of hearing sound, the ear, is there. (More...)
