Pure or Impure, Chant the Naam Every Moment

Complete Discourse
Whether you are pure or impure as you are, even while sitting and thinking you can chant Radha Radha, and keep chanting. If you don't, you will die lost in thought. So we must be vigilant every moment—for our life might depart at any time. Even while thinking, internally within, the naam of bhagwan Radhavallabh should be maintained. How will continuity remain otherwise? Won't a gap arise? Mantra cannot be chanted in a state of impurity. Mantra is not chanted in impurity, but naam jap can be done.
If even once in your life you have uttered the name Radha, believe me, you will not go to hell. Such a glorious naam—why receive it only once? Why not receive it continuously? So we obtain our Beloved, obtain the Lord.
Look, Ajamil called out Narayana—his son's name, not a conscious calling to God. At that very moment, the attendants of bhagwan arrived, and by the power of the naam, they severed the noose of the death messengers and drove them away. And as a result, Ajamil attained the abode of bhagwan.
Considering Ajamil's example of calling Narayana, with true understanding, give up everything. All the practices that exist—whether they bear fruit or not, give them all up. Hold onto the naam. You bathe in the Ganga, then commit sin, then bathe in the Ganga again, then commit sin again. It becomes like an elephant bathing. Your sinful nature was not destroyed. Therefore, chanting the naam will destroy both sin and the sinful nature itself.
