Published English meaning — contributor not separately identified in this edition

<a id="line-5"></a>Chanting God’s names, qualities and pastimes can be  
<a id="line-6"></a>compared to the body, and rupdhyan, the loving  
<a id="line-7"></a>remembrance of God to the soul. Just as a body, without  
<a id="line-8"></a>a soul becomes a corpse, so chanting the names,  
<a id="line-9"></a>pastimes and qualities of God, without rupdhyan is in  
<a id="line-10"></a>vain. It yields no benefit.
