When the night grows chill, you draw the rug tighter around you, is it not?So too, when grief assails you, draw the warmth of the name of the Lord closer round your mind. Out of all the crores of Indians, you alone have gained this contact, through your good luck. Let at least the desire to be saved sprout in you; I shall see that it grows and gives fruit, provided you yearn and try. To pour the nectar of grace, the vessel must be cleansed.Clean it and demand the nectar; do not grieve later that you missed the chance, when it had come within reach. You will not know me in a trice, or even in days. It is something that has to be realised by stages, in due course, through viveka, vairagya and vichakshana.(SSS Vol.4, p. 26)

Doubt is confusion. When reading books, one writer says one thing and another writer says another thing, take one idea and follow it. Rama had one will, one arrow, one mind, the arrow is intelligence.(MBI, p. 209)
