Sinful deeds are annulled due to constant remembrance of Paramatma; the power of sinful deeds lessens. He becomes himself impotent and meritorious deeds grow stronger. All calamities come to an end and man gains wealth. Men of knowledge have already given the assurance that "This fivefold salutation leads to the destruction of all sins." Calamities are generated only by sinful deeds. It is not therefore surprising that when the sins are destroyed, calamities automatically melt as do the drops of dew that disappear as the morning sunshine spreads.
But at that time the Sadhaka should keep in mind the fact that sorrow is the sting of a scorpion, while happiness is the smiting of a cobra. In this eyes are easily overcome with sleep and man has to exert hard effort to keep awake. In the same manner, in case of happiness, it becomes all the more necessary to be on the alert against the attack of delusion. One should be on the alert to see that wealth, power, social prestige, fame or thirst of worldly joys do not come to control the consciousness and one's hold over the chantings of Navakara does not get loosened. This alertness is all the more necessary at the time, for, otherwise, the intoxication of delusion will overtake man's mind in no time.
Chanting of the Navakara in a spirit of untardiness never fails, yet the Sadhaka shall not remain overanxious to view the reward. He should understand that after sowing the seed in the ground, one should not desire to taste the fruit the very next day. Everything takes its own time.
When the visible fruit gets delayed, one should not start feeling that the Sadhana has failed. It is just like this.
