A special feature about Namasmarana (repetition of the Divine Name) is this: it is possible to acquire various Siddhis (occult powers) through Yoga and Tapas (penance). And there is every likelihood of the Lord being forgotten when these powers come. Blinded by this pride, a person might even let go of the basic victory won by spiritual practices. This is not the case with remembrance of the Name, repetition of the Name, and meditation; no such dangers beset these paths. These three paths ensure that the Prema (Love) in the devotee's heart grows more and more. Through Love, Shanti (Peace) is achieved. Once peace of mind is achieved, all other benefits are automatically attained.

– Dhyana Vahini, Chap 7: "Remember God and Meditate".

Universal peace depends on the peace of the society, which in turn depends on the peace of the individual. – Baba
