The material sound that vibrates, any sound that you produce, immediately it rotates seven times over this earth, and if you have got a machine, you can catch it. Similarly, there is process to catch the transcendental vibration from the spiritual sky. Śrī Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura therefore prays, golokera prema-dhana, hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana. This saṅkīrtana movement is descended from the spiritual sky, golokera prema-dhana, and by this sound vibration the devotees, devotees, develop their love of God. Therefore Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says this is a gift of the spiritual sky: golokera prema-dhana. Hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana. This hari-nāma—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, this is called hari-nāma. Nāma means "name." Saṅkīrtana. Saṅkīrtana means just like we are assembled here, many boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, and conjointly we are chanting. This is called saṅkīrtana. Bahubhir militvā kīrtayati. It is saṅkīrtana. When many persons assemble together and chant the glorification of the Lord, that is called saṅkīrtana, and Caitanya Mahāprabhu says, paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam.
So this saṅkīrtana, golokera prema-dhana: this is a gift from the spiritual sky. So Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says:
- golokera prema-dhana,
- hari-nāma-saṅkīrtana,
- rati nā janmilo kene tāya
- (Iṣṭa-deve Vijñapti)
He is lamenting that, "This spiritual sound vibration is so nice that it can give us relief from these material pangs, but I have no attraction for them." Rati nā janmilo kene tāya. "Why I'm not attracted?" Viṣānale, divā-niśi hiyā jvale: he says that "In the material existence, my heart is always burning." Everyone who is engaged in material activities, full of anxieties and hard warning. There is no doubt about it. Nobody can say: "Oh, I am very well situated." No, he is not well situated; therefore he is trying to be well situated by some artificial means of intoxication. That's all. He wants to divert his attention, but that is not perfect. Just like if you remain in the fire, you cannot avoid the temperature. So the only means is, as Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura says, that so long you are engaged in chanting and making these transcendental vibrations, then you'll feel comfortable; otherwise it is not.
