Arjuna made bold to put another query. "Lord! It is good that those who repeat the Pranava with their last breath attain the Lord. But, what about those who do not? Their number is certainly much larger. Have they no chance of release? In the court of the almighty, are only some to be honoured with seats? Have the miserable and the poor no accommodation at all? Tell me, where they go, where they will be admitted."

"Arjuna! You are falling into a great error, beware. The Lord does not discriminate between the weak and the strong or the high and the low. Such an attitude will never warp His vision. All are entitled to His grace; all are entitled to enter His Durbar hall. Its doors are ever open. No guards are there to bar the entrance of anyone. No one is prevented; no one is invited. All are welcome to enter. What can any one do if some do not approach the door? Those who desire warmth have to go near enough to the fireside and sit there. Those who stand afar can know only the light that emerges from that fireside. What do you say of that man who, standing afar, declares that the fire has no warmth? He certainly is not sane."

"All who yearn for the presence, all who desire to enter the Durbar of the Lord and who strive in their mind constantly for the function of that desire, all have admission and accommodation there. It is not everyone that can repeat the Pranava at the last moment; that is the reason why constant remembrance of the Lord is said to have the power of inducing the Lord to bear the burden of your Yogakshema, happiness here and hereafter. Of course, this too has to be practised long. Sadhana gains everything, Sadhana, steady and strong."
