1. We may describe God in any number of ways; but this will only give you temporary satsifaction. Chanting of his Divine Name alone confers eternal bliss. Chanting of the Divine Name is the real penance, real pilgrimage and holy place.
2. Singing the God's praise captivates the hearts of all those who participate in it; it makes them forget themselves. All the attibutes and powers of God can described beautifully in singing. Singing pleases one and all. It is the royal road to redemption for all. Those devotees who sing God's glory whole-heartedly forgetting themselves develop total love for God.
3. You may think, sometimes, God is subjecting you to hardships. In fact, God does not give you suffering or happiness; He is only a witness. Your own deeds are responsible for your suffering. When you face difficulties, you should remain unperturbed and move forward. Whatever happens, think it is good for you. You can achieve anything when you have such unclinching faith.
4. You have to develop your faith with love for God. Love is not something that can be given to you as gift. When you step on the path of love, you love for God will automatically develop. When you sow a sapling and nourish it with water and manure regularly, it will grow into a tree. Simlilarly, when you regularly give water of love to the sapling of faith, it will grow into a giant tree. On the other hand, if you keep on pulling the sapling every now and then to see how much it has grown, it will break. The growth of the sapling of your faith depends entirely on you, not anybody else.
5. Be like lotus on water; on it, not in it. Water is necessary for the lotus to grow, but it will not allow even a drop to wet it. The objective world is the arena of virtue and the gymnasium for the spirit. But use it only for that purpose; do not raise it to a higher status and adore it as all-important.
