Presently, nobody chants the name of God sincerely. Many argue at the slightest mention of God. They think they are superior enough for that. The Divine can be known only by those who study the scriptures sincerely and lovingly. Simply because you have a tongue and it can wag, do not cast aspersions against the Lord or His Divine Name. There is the story of a king, the minister and the servant going in a boat. The servant panicked at the sight of water all round; in fact his panic tantrums were about to upset the boat itself. So the minister caught hold of him, pushed him into the water, dipped him a number of times and then when he cried, “The boat, the boat,” he was hoisted back. Once in the boat he knew he was safe from the stormy waters. Do not wait to suffer the ordeals of worldly life to realise the security and safety of faith in God.
