MAA SAYINGS...
Recorded by Swami Arupananda
The Mother was seated on her bedstead. The disciple was reading to her the letters of her devotees. Krishnalal Maharaj was also there. The letters contained such statements as “The mind cannot be concentrated,” etc. The Holy Mother listened to these and said in a rather animated voice, “The mind will be steadied if one repeats the Name of God fifteen or twenty thousand times a day. It is truly so. O Krishnalal, I myself have experienced it. Let them practise it first: if they fail, let them complain. One should practise Japa with some devotion, but this is not done. They will not do anything, they will only complain, saying, ‘Why do I not succeed?’”
