Devotees should consider the body as the field and good deeds as seeds and cultivate the name of the Lord, with the help of the heart as the farmer, in order to get the harvest, the Lord Himself. How can one get the crop without cultivation? Like cream in milk and fire in fuel, the Lord is in everything. Have full faith in this. As the milk, so the cream; as the fuel, so the fire; so also, as the spiritual discipline, so the direct experience (sakshatkara) of the Lord, right? Even if the attainment of liberation (mukti) isn’t directly realised as a consequence of taking up the Lord’s name, four fruits will clearly be evident to everyone who sincerely does the sadhana: 1. Company of the good and godly 2. Truth 3. Contentment and 4. Control of the senses. Through whichever of these gates one enters, whether one is a householder, recluse, or a member of any other class, one can reach the Lord without fail. This is certain.
