There are no short-cuts in the spiritual field. As a matter of fact, bhakthi (the path of devotion) is even more difficult than jnaana (path of wisdom); for, to get the attitude of 'Thou' not 'I', one has to surrender completely to the Higher Power, personified as the Lord. The ego has to be fully curbed; the faith that "not even a blade of grass can shake in the wind without His being aware of it and thus having caused it" has to be implanted in the mind. Devotion is not a leisure time job. Erase sensual desire; clear the heart of all blemish; then, the Lord will be reflected therein as in a mirror. Spiritual discipline is very necessary; it is not enough if you place charcoal over the cinders; you must fan vigorously, so that the charcoal too is changed into burning cinders...You have to engage in sadhana to win God's Grace.

- Divine Discourse, March 26, 1965.

Unadulterated devotion, total renunciation – these alone can help us to achieve the awareness of our Divinity.

How to keep in constant contact with the Higher Self within us? The best means is the simple exercise of Naamasmarana, the repetition of any one of the glorious Names of the Lord. People indulge in all types of purposeless gossip and scandal; they find time and interest in these degrading pursuits; but, they have no inclination to awaken the Divine in them by constant dwelling on the splendour of Creation and the Creator. See only such scenes as will foster this discipline; speak only of elevating subjects; listen only to ennobling topics; think and feel only pure thoughts and emotions. That is the way to develop the Divinity inherent in each one.
