Papa has provided us with all the conveniences in the Ashram here — food, lodging place and all other conveniences — so much so that we do not have to step outside the gates for anything. Papa has done all this so that we may turn our mind within and seek to attain Him, without being bothered about mundane cares or needs. But, nobody has taken advantage of this. That is why I am after you all and tell you endlessly — if you want to stick on here, you must always be chanting Ram Nam. If you become slack in your Ram Nama Japa, you may find it difficult to continue here long.

Everything in our life is predetermined. All we have to do is to turn and fix our mind on Him! 

 

Words of wisdom by a great Gnani and a true bhaktha

 

You should not only accept from the bottom of your heart the situation that the Lord keeps you in but also be grateful to Him for that because it is verily the Lord's blessing!

 

The only will we have is the freeing will of choosing to chant whenever we find mind wandering

 

If one does not chant the divine Name of the Lord, the Lord will not interfere with his life. If he does chant the Name of God continuously, the Lord makes his life favorable to him.
