58 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Madhya-lila, Ch. 15
chanting of the holy name does not depend on purascaryd-vidhi, or the regulative
principles. If one chants the holy name once without committing an offense, he
attains all success. During the chanting of the holy name, the tongue must work.
Simply by chanting the holy name, one is immediately delivered. The tongue is
sevonmukha-jihva—it is controlled by service. One whose tongue is engaged in
tasting material things and also talking about them cannot use the tongue for ab-
solute realization.
atah sri-krsna-namadi
na bhaved grahyam indriyaih
sevonmukhe hi jihvadau
svayam eva sphuraty adah
According to Caitanya-caritamrta (Madhya 17.134):
ataeva krsnera ‘nama’, ‘deha’, ‘vilasa’
prakrtendriya-grahya nahe, haya sva-prakasa
“With these material senses, one cannot understand the transcendental holy
name of the Lord or His form, activities and pastimes. However, when one ac-
tually engages in devotional service, utilizing the tongue, the Lord is revealed.”
