22 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 8, Ch. 17
Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare—the Supreme Per-
sonality of Godhead is automatically pleased by such savikirtana. It is not
that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is absent; He is present there.
And when a devotee utters the transcendental name, it is not a material
sound. Therefore, the Supreme Personality of Godhead is naturally
pleased. A devotee knows that the Lord is present everywhere and that
one can please Him simply by chanting His holy name.
