Srimad Bhagavatham

न साधयति मां योगो न सांख्यं धर्म उद्धव

न स्वाध्यायस्तपस्त्यागो यथा भक्तिर्ममोर्जिता ॥

[11:14:20]

O Uddhava ! One can easily attain me by intense loving devotion to me; but not so easily by the practice of yoga , by following the sankhya philosophy, by adhering to dharma , by the repetition of the Vedas, by undertaking tapas ( penance) or by renunciation.

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

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

While speaking on Bhakti marga alone Lord Says.........

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

God's grace always flows in abundance. It is upto you to be ready to receive it.

What is the secret of success?

It is up to you to choose the most apt means of transport given your current load of luggage and various other factors

The spirit of Devotion cultivated by the recitation of His Name is the best form of virtue and this alone has been declared to be the paramount duty that should be practiced in this world.

That love, can sprout only by his grace. His grace descends when we chant the Mahamantra.

The intention of continued chanting of the Divine names is to take one to the state of total selfless, unconditional LOVE

Everything in our life is predetermined. All we have to do is to turn and fix our mind on Him!

Having compassion of the Lord as the foundation, the one which has no rules, the one which can eradicate the force of Kali, Namakirtanam is the only resort. I think again and again about this with in Myself
