• If I were to turn the Key, those who are opposed to me would change into real bhaktas (lovers) in no time. Anyway, even Virodh Bhakti (remembrance of those who oppose), is better than no bhakti (remembrance through love).

• Of what use is it to have my photo on paper? It is better to establish me in your hearts.
