Paramaatma (God) realization (Paramaatma praapti) is very easy. There is no other work that is as easy as this. However, there must be longing, want of only Paramaatma and nothing else. Because there is none at all that is like Paramaatma. Just like Paramaatma is One, unique, undivided, whole, single without another (ananyaa), similarly want of Paramaatma must also be undivided, exclusive, unique, one without another. For the attainment of worldly enjoyments, three things are necessary –1) Desire 2) Effort and 3) Destiny. First and the foremost there must be a desire to acquire worldly things. Then for its acquisition, one needs to make an effort. After making effort (doing karma), it will be acquired if one is destined to get it. If one is not destined to receive then even in spite of wanting and making the effort, one will not receive it. Therefore we try to make an effort for the purpose of gains (profit), but end up incurring losses! But Paramaatama realization is purely by aspiring and desiring (icchaa). In this, neither effort nor destiny play a role or are required. In this path of divinity there are never any losses, there is gains and only gains (naffaa).
Besides Paramaatma (God) there is nothing that can be attained purely from aspiring and desiring. The reason for this is that human body has been received only for attaining Paramaatma. With the aim of realizing Him alone this human body has been bestowed upon us. The second point is that God is Omnipresent (in all places). Not even the space where the sharp tip of a needle can stand is vacant without Paramaatma. Therefore in attaining Paramaatma, effort and destiny are of no use at all. By effort only those things are attained that are perishable. The imperishable Paramaatma cannot be attained through effort. Realization of Paramaatma is only from ardent longing and desire.
Whether one is a male or a female, an ascetic (saadhu) or a householder (grahasth), literate or illiterate, child or youth, whatever one may be, simply by ardent desire he can attain Paramaatma. Other than Paramaatma there is no desire to live or to die, no desire for enjoyments, no desire for hoarding. Things not desired will not perish or become non-accessible, non-existent. That which is destined for us, we will surely get. That which is destined for us, no one else can get it – "yadasmadeeyam na hi tatparesam" - the fever that is to come to us, how can someone else get it? Similarly the wealth that is destined to come will surely come. But in regards to realizing Paramaatma, there is no destiny involved.
