• Jnana marga is like Ramphal. Bhakthi marga is like Sitaphal (custart apple), easy to deal with and very sweet. The pulp of Ramphal is inside and difficult to get at. Ramphal should ripen on the tree and plucked ripe, If it falls down it is spoilt. So if a Jnani falls, he is ruined. Even for a Jnani there is the danger of a fall, i.e., by a little negligence or carelessness.

• Three main points:1) The “destination” one must reach, that is, “Mukthi”, (salvation) that is located “high up”; 2) the ways or margas leading to it are many, one path originating from Shirdi; and 3) The Presence of a guide, that is, a guru, is essential in order to reach the goal safely.

• Know that my soul is immortal. Know this for yourself
• My eye is ever on those who love me.
• Whatever you do, wherever you may be, ever bear this in mind that I am always of everything you do
• If one meditates on me, repeats my name, and sings about my deeds – He is transformed and his karma is destroyed. I stay by his side always.
• In whatever faith one worships me, even so I render to them.
• If one perpetually thinks of me, and makes me his sole refuge, I become his debtor and will give my life to save him.
• I am the bond slave of my devotee. I love devotion. He who withdraws his heart from the world and loves me is my true lover and he merges in Me like a river in the sea.
• If you make the sole object of your thoughts and aims you will get paramatma
• Look up to me and I will look after you. Not vain is my promise that I shall ever lighten your burden.
• Trust is sadguru fully. This is the only sadhana. Sadguru is all the gods.
• Though I be no more in flesh and blood, I shall ever protect my devotees. I shall be with you the moment you think of me.
