Ceaseless Repetition of the Lord’s Name

One who repeats the Lord’s Name with every morsel
Gets the merit of fasting, even though he eats.
One who repeats the Lord’s Name
While doing daily work
Always has the bliss of meditation within him.
One who repeats the Lord’s Name while walking
Gets the merit of performing sacrifices at every step.
Blessed is such a body,
It has no need of pilgrimages and vows.
One who repeats the Lord’s Name
Both in the enjoyment and sacrifice of worldly pleasures
Is not bound by his actions, declares Tuka.
One who thus repeats the Lord’s Name ceaselessly
Is liberated during this very lifetime!
