Water not only purifies objects for ritual use, but can make a person clean, externally or spiritually, ready to come into the presence of his/her focus of worship. Narrations, kirtans, dhuns, and things of such matters will purify the mind by centering one's thoughts and inner conscious on our holiness Bhagwan Swaminarayan.
Also, water is a primary building block of life. Without water there is no life, yet water has the power to destroy as well as to create. We are at the mercy of water just as we are at the mercy of our God.
The verse is very correct, that it is the narrations or katha of Shri Hari's lilas and parchas(miracles) which is very important in our lives. If we constantly stay in touch with these narrations or katha, we stay in touch with God. Without the narrations of His holy and divine deeds we loose the intimacy with God and slowly deviate from the path of Bhakti and Gyan. When we regularly recite the narrations by ourselves or listen to them we imbibe the values, the teachings and His qualities which helps us to get God's grace.
