Name of God

 

He who utters the Name of God while walking

    gets the merit of a sacrifice at every step.

His body becomes a place of pilgrimage.

He who repeats God's Name while working
    always finds perfect peace.

He who utters the Name of God while eating
    gets the merit of a fast
    even though he has taken his meals.

Even if one were to give in charity
    the whole earth encircled by the seas,
    it would not equal the merit of repeating the Name.

By the power of the Name
    one will know what cannot be known,
One will see what cannot be seen,
One will speak what cannot be spoken,
One will meet what cannot be met.

Tuka says,
    Incalculable is the gain that comes
    from repeating the Name of God."
