This chant in Sanskrit means: O Lord, O energy of the Lord, O Source of all happiness, please make me your beloved servant, allow me to serve you. Krishna and Rama are the names of God, and Hare is none other than His inner energy, His energy of bliss.

One who can thus enjoy the company of the Lord will be liberated beyond doubt from the darkness of the created world, which is born of the false ego.

The transformation of ether gives rise to air, accompanied by the sense of touch and the attributes specific to its original elements: sound and the fundamental conditions of life: sensory perception, psychic faculties, and physical strength.

When air is transformed in turn by the effects of time and nature, it gives rise to fire, endowed with form, accompanied by the sense of touch and sound.

Then fire transforms and manifests liquid water, endowed with taste. Like the elements that preceded it, it is endowed with form, touch, and abounds in sound. Water gives rise to all the variety on earth with its odors, and of course, taste, touch, sound, and form.

The entire process of creation gradually evolves, developing from one element to another until it produces the variety on earth, with its trees, flora, mountains, rivers, reptiles, birds, land and aquatic animals, and human beings. Evolution also applies to sensory perception. Sound gives rise to the sense of touch, which then manifests form. Taste and smell also arise from the gradual development of ether, air, fire, water, and earth. Each represents the effect of one element and the cause of another, but the Lord Himself is the original, first cause, manifested in the guise of His plenary emanation, Maha-Visnu, reclining on the causal waters of the global, integral material energy, or cosmic manifestation.

The various kinds of sensory perception are contained entirely in the earth element, and partially in the other elements.

For example, ether has only sound as its attribute, while air contains sound and touch. In fire, we also find sound and touch, but also form. Water contains taste in addition to sound, touch, and form. The earth contains all the variety of existence, which has its origin in the fundamental element of air.

Illnesses are most often caused by a disruption in the circulation of air in the terrestrial bodies of distinct individual beings. Mental disorders, in particular, originate from a specific disruption of the air in the body, and yoga exercises have a remarkably beneficial effect on the balance of these subtle airs and can eliminate illness almost entirely.
