The naked Sage, Totapuri, used to say, "If a brass pot be not rubbed daily, it will get rusty. So if a man does not contemplate the Deity daily, his heart will grow impure."
To him Sri Ramakrishna replied, "Yes, but if the vessel be of gold, it does not require daily cleaning. The man who has reached God requires prayers or penances no more."
