Tattva should be explained by a tattva-darçé guru, a seer of
the truth, because only one who knows and has Kåñëa can give
you Kåñëa. This is the hearing process, çrutekñita-pathaù. By
following this bona fide hearing process all contamination in
the heart is washed away and the anarthas [the contamination
of the heart] are destroyed. After all obstacles on the bhakti path
are removed one becomes attached to the Supreme Lord, who
reciprocates and appears in the form His devotee desires to see.
Näma Tattva
“If you do not associate with a sädhu who chants the pure
name, who is on the highest stage of prema-bhakti, you cannot
chant the pure name. If you are associating with asädhus, nondevotees,
then when you open your mouth to chant, only the
alphabet is coming out.”
“If you are chanting the pure name immediately you will
see the all-beautiful form of Çyämasundara. Not only that, all
the léläs will manifest before you. That is the test that you are
chanting the pure name.”
“For one who chants the pure name, who has prema, who
has bound up Kåñëa with the rope of love, there is no question
of fall down at all. He is completely attached and Kåñëa never
leaves his heart.”

“The chief result of chanting the holy name is that one
aquires the treasure of kåñëa-prema.”(Çré Hari-näma-cintämaëi
1.78)
