* Man cannot see God on account of his ego. You cannot see the sun when a cloud rises in the sky. But that does not mean there is no sun; the sun is there just the same - Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
* If a devotee prays to God with real longing, God cannot help revealing Himself to him.
* Bhakti is to adore God with body, mind and words. With body means, to serve and worship God with one's hands, go to holy places with one's feet, hear the chanting of the name and glories of God with one's ears, and behold the divine image with one's eyes, With kind means to contemplate and meditate on God constantly and to remember and think of His lila. With words means to sing hymns to Him and chant His name and glories.
* Devotion as described by Narada is suited to the Kaliyuga. It means to chant constantly the name and glories of God. Let those who have no leisure, worship at least morning and evening by whole-heartedly chanting His name and clapping their hands.
* Hanuman said, "O Rama, sometimes I find that You are the Whole and I a part; sometimes that You are the Master and I, Your servant;but, O Rama, when I have the Knowledge of Reality, I see that You are I and I am You."
* Cultivate the virtues of purity, self-control, detachment, truth and ahimsa in various forms and become a dharmatma.
* Worship your Ishta-Devata by every means in your power and acquire the grace of God.
* All men find themselves in this life in the toils of 'samsara' in accordance with their own 'karma'.
