Succesful life -chanting holy names ...

I happend to listen to the story of Tukaram yesterday and it's so marvellous.
The life of Tukaram is amazing and inspiring interms of how to lead a family life.
I happend to listen to his boyhood deeds and they look so astonishing and wonderful.
One wonderful thing i heard is , Wherever Lord descends to this world to make life of his devotee more sweet and amazing those past times are still amazing.
I am referring to story of 'VITTAL' and Pundalika'.Oh My GOD, the story was as relevant to the present day times as it can be to those days.Only thing we have to replace is with our 'love' or 'likes' for so many things instead of his unique love for his beautinful wife.
May be if we have such love for one object so much and so intent , he will understand that we are most unfortunate and help us, but we are so mischevious, we don't like one thing for long..(????). We want to see and enjoy so many other (??) interms of movies ,political..etc that GOD knows that we are more mischevious than we think we are ..

Well, why to be unfortunate first, when so many devotees came and upheld the same principle that GOD's names are so potent and we are educated enough to understand that fact,let's be fortunate and chant the holy names ,make our life most succesful.
Otherwise, what is the use of our life?
It becomes another boring( or no page at all ) page in history of human race ..
Krishna's past times are so amazing and relishable and nectarian that this life is not sufficient to understand that completely and unfortunately we think we know everything about him and look somewhere else for enjoyment...

There is only one way of making life succesful,blissful and useful for this world , that is by serving supreme Lord with the love and devotion from the very moment we heard of him ( may be from age 5 ?).
All the time we spend not in his service is as useless as 'DEAD'( in contemporary terms ,may be like a waste paper we use for some purpose temporarily and throw it ), the only happy life we lead is when we are blissful to hear him and enjoying his presence and able to see everything as part and parcel of him.

I would like to quote one wonderful GarudaPuran Quote here ...

"The name of the Lord is easily pronounced, and the tongue is under control. Fie, fie upon the wretched men who nevertheless go to hell!"

fie means : DISGUSTING ...

Just see how unfortunate we are , we hesitate so much to chant the names of GOD..
