"If all the insects were to disappear from the earth, within 50 years all life on earth would end. If all human beings disappeared from the earth, within 50 years all forms of life would flourish."
If you are more humble then the grass, more tolerant then a tree, ready to offer all respect to everyone else without expecting any in return, then you are able to chant the holy names all the time.
I bow to Bihari, Master of the arts of love. His crown is a peacock plume And the tilak gleams upon his brow. His golden ear-rings and raven locks Are waiving gracefully at his ears. He is playing the flute That rests at His adorable lips. Experiencing deep joy Himself, He is charming the hearts of the women of Braj, On be holding this beautiful vision of Mohan Giridhara, Mira swoons in ecstasy. -The Devotional Poems of Mirabai-
OM - The All-Knowledge of the three bodies of a Buddha and of the infinite Buddha's Holy Body, Speech and Mind. The knowledge of the two paths to enlightenment (Method and Wisdom), and of the two truths (Absolute and relative) that contain all existence within them.
MUNI - Control over the suffering of the three lower realms and over the wrong conception of the self-existent I.
MUNI - Control over the suffering of all samsara and over self-cherishing thoughts.
MAHA MUNIYE - Great control over the suffering of subtle illusions and over the dualistic mind.
SVAHA - May my mind receive, absorb and keep the blessings of the mantra, and may they take root.

Experiencing deep joy Himself,

On be holding this beautiful vision of Mohan Giridhara,
Mira swoons in ecstasy.
