“Only the repetition must not be a lip-expression, but part of your very being. I have said that to take Ramanama from the heart means deriving help from an incomparable Power. The atom bomb is as nothing compared with it. This power is capable of removing all pain. There is no doubt whatsoever that Ramanama contains all the power that is attributed to it. No one can by mere wishing enshrine Ramanama in his heart. Untiring effort is required as also patience.”
“Who am I? I have no strength save what God gives me. I have no authority over my countrymen save the purely moral. If He holds me to be a pure instrument for the spread of non-violence, He will give me the strength and show me the way. My greatest weapon is mute prayer. The cause of peace is, therefore, in God's good hands. Nothing can happen but by His will expressed in His eternal, changeless Law which is He.”
“One has, therefore to appear before Him in all one's meekness, empty-handed and in a spirit of full surrender, and He enables you to stand before the whole world and protects you from all harm. I have been a willing slave to this most exacting Master for more than half a century. His voice has been increasingly audible as years have rolled by. He has never forsaken me in my darkest hour. He has saved me often against myself and left me not a vestige of independence. The greater the surrender to Him the greater has been my joy.”
“We are but straws in the hands of God. He alone can blow us where He pleases. We cannot oppose His wish. If we can but throw ourselves into His lap as our only Help, we shall come out scatheless through every ordeal. If nothing happens without His permission, where is the difficulty in believing that he is trying us? I would take our complaints to Him for so cruelly trying us. And He will soothe us and forgive us if we will but trust Him. We must learn, each one of us, to stand alone. God only is our infallible and eternal guide. God helps the helpless not those who believe they can do something. Those who put their implicit faith in Him cannot but reach their aims. No one can see God face to face who has an ‘I’ in him. He must become a cipher if he would see God.”
“It also means that if we take His name with all our being, we are automatically weaned from all lust, untruth and baser passions. We must eternally sing His praise and do His will. Let us dance to the tune of His bansi (flute) and all would be well.”
