God Can be Attained Assuredly Today Itself !

Paramaatma cannot be transacted in exchange for something pricey. For a price, only those things are acquired that are of lesser value than the price tag. The things that are available in the market, they not actually worth as much as the price they are listed for. We do not have any such thing with us by which we can acquire Paramaatma. That Paramaatma is one without another, eternal, almighty (powerful), everlasting and omnipresent. 

That Paramaatma is ours and is in us – "Sarvasya chaaham hrdi sannivshth" (Gita 15:15). "I reside in the hearts of all beings"; "Ishvar sarva bhootaanaam hrdeshe'rjun tisthati." (Gita 18:61). "O'Arjuna, Ishvar resides in the hearts of all beings." He is not far from us. If we go into the 8.4 million wombs then too Paramaatma will dwell in our hearts. Even if we go to heaven or hell. Even if we become beasts, birds, trees, etc. then too He will remain in our hearts. Even if we become demi-gods (devataas) then too He will remain in our hearts. If we attain liberation or attain enlightenment then too He will remain in our hearts. Even if we become the worst of worst sinners, worst of criminals, committed worst of injustice, then too He will remain in our hearts. Such a Bhagwaan that resides in the hearts of all, how can His attainment be difficult? 

Paramaatma is not accessible if there is simultaneously desire for living, respect, greatness, happiness, enjoyments etc. Because Bhagwaan is unique, only Bhagwaan is like Bhagwaan. Neither anyone was, is, would be or could be like Bhagwaan, therefore how can we attain Bhagwaan? Simply by desire and thirst for Bhagwaan, He can be attained. What is the value of anything that is perishable, in front of the imperishable Bhagwaan? Can be ever be attained through the perishable actions and perishable things? No! Bhagwaan cannot be attained! When a spiritual aspirant cannot stay without meeting Bhagwaan, then Bhagwaan too cannot stay without meeting him, because it is the nature of Bhagwaan – "Ye yathaa maam prapadyante, taanstathaiyyva bhajaamyaham." (Gita 4:11) "What ever way that devotee takes refuge in me, I support him in that way."

Let us say that some mosquito wanted to meet an eagle, and vice versa, the eagle also wanted to meet the mosquito, then who will reach first, the eagle will reach the mosquito first or the mosquito? To meet the eagle, the mosquito's strength will just not work. In this it is the eagle's strength alone that will work. In the same way, if one wants to attain Paramaatma (God), then Paramaatma's strength alone will be of use. Our strength, our actions, our fate (destiny, deeds performed in previous births) will not yield anything in this matter. On the contrary only our ardent desire will work. There is nothing else which is required except our ardent desire, will, and aspiration.
