Bhagawan Yogiramsuratkumar

கடவுளின் அருளினால் மட்டுமே, ஒருவரால் கடவுளின் நாமத்தை தொடர்ந்து சொல்லி வர முடியும். ஆனால், நாம் நாமத்தை சொல்வதாக நினைத்தோமேயானால், நம் சாதனை பலன் தராது.

One can continuously Chant the Divine Names of the God only by God's grace. But, if we think we are Chanting the Names, then the Sadhana would not give result.

Please check these: Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Bhagavăn might (without any reason) just bestow liberation on anyone. This is very rare, though.

He whom the Self chooses, by him the Self can be gained.

Lord should desire to take you unto Him

You didn't choose me, but I chose you

Therefore with out Lord's mercy and grace by what other means can one expect to realize the true nature - महद्-अनुग्रहम् अन्तरेण

You may do crores of japa, dhayna; do anything; but, unless Bhagavãn Wills to take you unto Him no amount of your sadhana will bear fruit.

Only through causeless mercy does He reveals Him

By the mere Will of God even the lowliest of the low can, in a matter of a second, receive the Grace and become a Jnăni.

Even if he gets a single good thought or recites the Divine Names of God once, the first thought that comes to him is, 'this happened because of the boundless grace of my Guru'!

When one believes in the grace of the Lord alone and totally surrenders to Him, he is liberated in the very same birth.

Likewise, it would suffice if we do not block the Grace that is being sent out.
