A SURE AID
There is no doubt that Rama Nama is the surest aid. If recited from the heart, it charms away every evil thought; and evil thought gone, no corresponding action is possible.
The outward helps are all useless if the mind is weak. They are superfluous if the mind is pure. This must not be taken to mean that a pure-minded man can take all the liberties and still keep safe. Such a man simply will not take any liberties with himself. His whole life will be an infallible testimony to the inward purity. The Gita truly says that mind makes the man and unmakes him. Milton paraphrases the same thought when he says: “The mind in its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.”

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji says, “Naamasankirtan is a very great path because it brings in the highest benefit effortlessly. Generally, people desire the comforts and pleasures of a king but do not wish to shoulder any responsibility that is part of the throne. Is it not sheer logic that as man’s strength goes down the means to attain the Lord should become harder? But wonder of wonders! What deep, inexplicable compassion our Maharishis have for us! As our strength and maturity keeps going down they make the path leading to the Lord easier and easier! Do you know which is the easiest of all the easy ways? In this Yuga it would suffice to just utter the Divine Names of the Lord – Rama! Krishna! Siva!“
Would a wise man fail to choose this path that bestows the highest benefit with the least effort?
In this “Kali Dharma Undiyar”, Sri Sri Swamiji establishes,
“IN THIS KALI YUGA THE DIVINE NAME OF THE LORD IS VERILY THE RIGHT, EASIEST AND SURE WAY FOR ALL.”
