"We must learn to chant the sweet name of Rama with a pure, unsullied heart, in a spirit of selfless devotion. Men should learn to speak sweetly and pleasingly. Sweet speech confers peace. It is the means to self-realization.
Sri Rama loves to dwell in the heart of the man who speaks sweetly Wholehearted chanting of the name of Rama even once can destroy mountains of sin. But the chanting should not be done mechanically like a record. It should emanate from the depths of the heart.
You must seek to redeem your lives by living up to Rama's ideals and proclaiming them to the world. Remember the name of Rama with love. God can be realized only through love and by no other means."
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Divine Discourse - 14.4.89)
