Spiritual story
How should one chant?
Once a mailman decided to visit H. H. Gondavalékar Maharaj. He reached
Gondavalé (a town in Maharashtra, India where Gondavalékar Maharaj
resided) on a Saturday morning, with the intention of returning home
that evening, after visiting Gondavalékar Maharaj during the day.
However, that day it started raining heavily and Maharaj suggested that
he spend the night in Gondavalé. He agreed to it and prepared to stay
overnight.
After dinner Maharaj
was resting in His room when the mailman decided to visit Him and ask
Him some questions regarding spiritual practice. The mailman was not a
devotee of Maharaj and did not have much faith in Him. He asked Maharaj,
“How should one chant?” In response Maharaj said, “Place your ear on my
hand” The mailman, though surprised, did so and he heard Maharaj's
chant, ‘Shri Ram, jai Ram, jai jai Ram’, coming out from Maharaj's hand!
Then, Maharaj said to him, “Now place your ear on my leg and
then on my heart". The mailman did accordingly and heard the chant
emanating from all these parts of Gondavalékar Maharaj's body.
The moral of the story is that ultimately, chanting should be such that
every part of one’s body is chanting. For that to happen one's chanting
must become more and more deep.
