All these four types of Rama-worshippers rely upon the Name, but the man of initiative wisdom is dearest to the Lord; in all the four ages and the four Vedas his name is mighty, but mightiest of all in this Kaliyuga, in which there is no other means of salvation.

Those who are free from all sensual passions and absorbed in the joy of devotion to Rama have made their souls like fish in the ambrosial lake of the love of the Name.

There are two forms of the Absolute – impersonal and personal; both these aspects are unutterable, fathomless, without beginning and without parallel. To my mind the name is greater than both, for by its own power it has made both subject to itself.

Let not the good take this as an exaggeration on my part; for I say it confidently and with sincere devotion. The two forms of the Absolute may be known like the two kinds of fire; the one within the wood, the other visible. Both forms are hard to understand, but both are made known by the Name; and therefore I declare that the Name is greater than either the Absolute or Rama Brahma is all-pervading, one, indestructible, the very essence of Truth, Consciousness and Bliss.

But though such an immutable Lord is present in every heart, every creature in the world is miserable and unhappy; but when one seeks out the true significance of the Name and practises its utterance, that Lord becomes manifest, as the value of a gem is revealed by correct knowledge of it.

The glory of the Name is thus immeasurably greater than that of the attributeless Absolute; and I declare that in my judgement the Name is greater than Rama too.

Rama assumed the form of man to help the faithful and endured misery to make the pious happy; but votaries who lovingly repeat the Name easily become abodes of joy and blessings.
