By In his book the Great Elixir (Maharasayan), the Master writes:

"Listen. My Name is your support in the journey of life. Sing the Name. Today you are alive, but you will not be alive forever. A day will come when your senses will cease to function and life will leave corporeal frame, and the mortal remains will be either devoured by jackals or burnt to ashes. If you do not obtain the means of support for the journey, then you are doomed. From this moment - sing the Name, let your whole system utter the words 'Rama Rama' and 'Hari Hari'. This is the best means of leading you to the right path of life. Your wealth, your wife and children will not go with you. While there is still time, sing the Name and obtain what is most worth your while in life. Don't follow too many paths to the higher life, better stick to one - the singing of the Name - this will be the best of your attainments. You need not be proficient in all the scriptures".

In another passge in Abhay Vani (Hope Abounding), the Master has revealed that he has come down as Namavatar (Incarnation of Lord's Name):
"Dearest ! Listen, Dearest Mine ! To do away with all your pain I have come down as the Name. Say the Name and all your worries shall cease : I will fill you, within and without, with light and delight. You will be thrilled every moment with My beautific touch, the world won't flash upon your sight any longer, you will only see blissful Myself. I say on oath My Name can quicken death itself".


In another book, entitled, 'Varnashrama Viplava', or the upset in our social order, the Master writes:
"My Shastras, I do not know how to extol you. Yet, I declare categorically today that I love you with all my heart. I have not been privileged to follow you in toto, but the little of you I have observed, has gratified me. I have been immersed in the sea of bliss and have solemnly vowed that until I die, as long as my tongue can utter a syllable, I shall declare with all the emphasis at my command that the Shastras are true, the Shastras are infallible. One that will take refuge in the Shastras, the Lord, God Himself, shall receive him unto His bosom".

In another essay, entitled, "Pain", which forms part of the "Moods of Maniac", the Master writes:

"For pleasure we crave, though pleasure never comes. For pleasure that is never to be found we give our precious lives away. But look at pain, pain comes unsolicited. For pain we need not strive or pine. Pain needs no invocation. It comes of itself. Why cannot we hail pain, saying 'come pain. Thee, I am prepared to meet'. We do not do so for the simple reason that pain is distressing. Therefore, we long for pleasure, the pleasures that are short lived, whereas the pain can bestow everlasting bliss".

In one of his monumental works, 'Sri Sri Namamrita Lahari', published in eleven volumes with innumerable quotations in Sanskrit, taken from Shruti, Puranas and the Tantras, he has emphasized the efficacy of the chanting of the Name of the Lord, for attaining life Divine. A few extracts from this book will convey the message of the master in this regard:
"There can be no doubt that one can gain all one's desires and can attain God by simply chanting the Name. It is very very true. Those, who have the ability, should, with body, mind and speech and with Bhakti, sing Nam. Those who have not that ability, may only repeat Ram Ram, Krishna Krishna, Hari Hari. Even they do not have to bother about either this life or next. Nam itself will take charge of their lives in this or the next world. You are crying on account of various shortages - shortage of food, shortage of money, shortage of clothes ? go on singing Nam, food will come to you without your asking for it and you will be able to feed thousands of people. Even if you do not pray for money, heaps of it will fall at your feet on its own. You do not have to bother about the lack of clothes, you yourself will be able to clothe innumerable people. Even if you give up everything, property and wealth will run after you to serve, I am not exaggerating Nam's capability. I am not colouring my words. If you want to see actual proof, I can show it to you. Blow off the insignificant sorrows and disappointments of this world by the explosion of Nam and come along to that abode of eternal bliss. If there is anything to be desired in this world, it is to see Him face to face. Nam alone will make it possible for you to have that Darshan.
So -
Sing Nam, Sing Nam, sing Nam"
