Excerpts from the discourse of Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
When hungry, a little cold rice with curd would suffice to appease it. But, would this do in a marriage party?
Similarly, in the case of the worst kind of a sinner it would suffice if he would utter 'Govinda!' just once. He would surely attain to God after death.
But, if you desire to 'see' God in this lifetime itself then you should chant His Name incessantly.
You may do crores of japa, dhaya; do anything; but, unless Bhagavãn Wills to take you unto Him no amount of your sadhana will bear fruit. You desire to go to someone's home. You keep telling him of your desire. But, is it possible to go there unless he invites you? He has to invite you. Thus, Bhagavãn should desire to take you unto Him. This is the reason that Mahatmas say that Bhagavãn's Grace is needed.
