May your body and mind become pure by repeating the Name of God!
The Mantra purifies the body. Man becomes pure by repeating the Mantra of God. … It is said, 'The human teacher utters the Mantra into the ear; but God breathes the spirit into the soul.

Who would like to be crucified on a cross of sandalwood? Similarly none would like to remain tied in the chain of gold.
Similarly whatever knowledge one gains is a burden if that raises one's ego
चंदनाचा शूळ सोनियाची बेडी । सुख नेदी फोडी प्राण नाशी ॥2॥ तुका ह्मणे नरकीं घाली अभिमान । जरी होय ज्ञान गर्व ताठा ॥3॥

A Particular Bhakta — Should we give up all work so long as we do not realize God?
Sri Ramakrishna — No, why will you give up work? You will have to do all this: Meditation upon the Lord, chanting His names and glories, and undertaking day to day rituals.

He indeed knows the true nature of the Supreme Lord with a discus in His hand and with infinite prowess, who adores and worships (Chanting the Divine Name) the fragrance of the lotus-feet of the Lord again and again incessantly through guileless devotion.
Though the Lord is highly incomprehensible to even a highly learned scholar, he is easily known by a devotee. That devotee who constantly beholds the Lord's lotus-feet in his heart and is lost in its divine fragrance through his guileless and incessant devotion very easily knows the Lord's nature and activities. The Lord reveals Himself to this devotee through his grace pleased by his devotion.
Only through surrender of our ego to the Lord's supreme-will, can one know the ways of God which are inscrutable.
Sri Swamiji sings in one of His songs "கண்ணன் கழல்களில் நிலையாயிறு"- "Remain steadfast in the feet of Lord Krishna". "There is no use letting the mind waver and disturbing oneself with lot of questions", He says.
