"Of all the paths to me, mother, Bhakti is the easiest and surest. There is no
other path which grants you freedom as quickly as the path of devotion. The
wise say the SANGA, attachment, is the one imperishable quality which is
inherent in man. When it is imperishable, when it is evergreen, without any
possibility of getting destroyed, obviously it cannot be ignored. Mother,
attachment is always there. The way to salvation is to use this same Sanga
as an instrument. Let the attachment be there by all means. Only do not feed
it with the usual sense objects. Change the object of desire: of attachment.
You have been attached to the things of the world. Let the attachment
remain but make the object different. In place of the worldly objects,
substitute Narayana. Attachment to Narayana makes the ties to other things
snap. And the way is easy.

Here’s the bullet-point gist of the quote you shared:
-
Bhakti (devotion) is the easiest and quickest path to liberation.
-
Attachment (Sanga) is an inherent, indestructible human quality.
-
Since attachment cannot be destroyed, it must be redirected.
-
Instead of attaching to worldly objects, shift attachment to Narayana (the Divine).
-
Attachment to Narayana automatically loosens ties to worldly desires.
-
This makes the path to salvation simple and natural.
Would you like me to also give you a one-line distilled essence of this teaching for quick recall?
