Paragraph 46

In plain words

M. stands there and watches in wonder. It seems to him that Sukadeva himself is speaking the word of God, and that every holy place has gathered here. Or it is as though Sri Chaitanya were sitting in Puri with Ramananda, Swarup and his other devotees, singing the name and glory of God. The Master is saying, "When saying Hari just once, or the name of Rama just once, makes your hair stand on end and your tears fall, then know for certain that you need no longer perform the evening worship and the other rites. You have earned the right to give up ritual; ritual is falling away of its own accord. Then it is enough simply to repeat the name of Rama, or of Hari, or just Om." And again he says, "The evening worship dissolves into the Gayatri, and the Gayatri in turn dissolves into Om."
