"When one comes under the direction of the Teacher, a Master, one surrenders not to his own will, but to the Will of the Master. Whatever one does is to please the Master; one does whatever the Master says. But above all, know that you’re not pleasing only the Master, but you are pleasing God above all, because the Master doesn’t need your pleasing. Even God doesn’t need your pleasing. But you, out of love, out of surrender, out of joy, you’re offering everything."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: pleasing God...
"When one comes under the direction of the Teacher, a Master, one surrenders not to his own will, but to the Will of the Master. Whatever one does is to please the Master; one does whatever the Master says. But above all, know that you’re not pleasing only the Master, but you are pleasing God above all, because the Master doesn’t need your pleasing. Even God doesn’t need your pleasing. But you, out of love, out of surrender, out of joy, you’re offering everything."

I will always follow you my beloved Gurudev
Thi is the way:"Have faith! Reciting the Name of the Lord is not the first, but the last stage of spiritual practice! When lions enter the forest, the other animals run away. Likewise, all evil thoughts will vanish with the recitation of the Lord's name. Reciting the Name of the Lord will bring you the company of a good people and you will be near saints. Blessed are the few who will discard the kingdom of the world for the Lord's name. Such a devotee always resides in My heart. In the womb, you take a vow not to get attached; but as soon as you come out, you get entangled. Abandon attachment! Your mind plays tricks on you! That is why you are after pleasures! All worldly things - including the desire for liberation - are obstacles to which you are attached. If you want divine peace, leave behind ignorant karma."JGD
Anandamayi Ma: Always bear this in mind: Everything is in God's hands, and you are His tool to be used by Him as He pleases. Try to grasp the significance of 'all is His'. and you will immediately feel free from all burdens. What will be the result of your surrender to Him? None will seem alien, all will be your very own Self.
SV:"So in that way you will go into the fullness. The more you chant, the more you will go into the fullness of the sound within yourself and the more you will know the secret. You will enjoy the beauty that you have inside of you, because after some time of chanting in the outside, the chanting becomes silence within you. Even while you are sleeping, inside of you the chanting always goes on."
