The supreme power of devotion and the Guru's grace is the only true refuge. Without chanting the divine name, life is wasted. Faith is the greatest of all. The heart must be generous to give and nurture devotion; one cannot be half-hearted or stingy. Clinging to the Guru's feet is the path sung in the Vedas and Purāṇas. Immortality is found through the Guru's knowledge. When true detachment arises, the mind curdles and no longer clings to worldly affections. The Guru's grace can instantly transport the subtle body to save a devoted disciple. A pure heart, free of fault and sorrow, will see the divine directly.
"Without chanting the Hari nāma, do not waste your time."
"Faith—faith is the greatest of all, that is it."
