"The word namaḥ, n, a, m, a, h, can be explained as follows: na, means false ego and mah means which nullifies. That means by practice of mantra one becomes able gradually to rise up transcendentally from his false egotism. False egotism means accepting this body as self and in relationship to the body to accept this material world as very important. This is false egotism. By perfection of chanting mantra one is able to rise up on the transcendental platform without any false identification with the material world."
