God Can be Attained Assuredly Today Itself !
Truly speaking, Bhagwaan (God) is ever attained, but only our worldly desires bar Him from being realized. When we desire money and enjoyments, Bhagwaan (God) does not forcibly make us leave it? If we earnestly aspire for Bhagwan alone, leaving aside all worldly desires, then who has the strength to block us from doing so?
Absolutely no one has the power to restrict us. If we long to behold Bhagwaan then Bhagwaan also will long to behold us. If we long and cry out for the world, the world will not reciprocate. But if we call out and cry longingly for Bhagwaan, He too will surely cry out for us.
It is only the mother who truly knows whether the child is really weeping or not. If a child does not shed real tears and simply utters the sound of weeping, the mother understands that he is cheating, pretending! If the child truly weeps, the mother can tell instantly from his breathing. The mother stops everything she is doing and immediately carries the child. What is the use of a mother that does not pay immediate attention to her child in desperation! What is the use of her living, if she neglects the child? Similiarly what is the use of God who is not paying attention to the one who truly longs, cries and calls out for
Bhagwaan? If Bhagwaan does not meet such a devotee, then what is the use of Bhagwaan;s existent. If Bhagwaan does not meet one who is sincerely longing from within then Bhagwaan should die!

There was a saadhu (ascetic). A person approached him and asked him, "How can Bhagwaan (God) be attained very quickly?" The saadhu said, "God can be attained by having ardent, exceeding, abounding desire for Him." What is the form of ardent desire? he asked. The Saadhu said that when one cannot live without Bhagwaan (God). That person did not grasp what was meant, and therefore he continued to ask again – "What is the nature of ardent desire?" One day the saadhu asked the man to accompany him to bath in the river. Both went into the water. As soon as the man immersed his head in the water, the saadhu pushed his head further down keeping it submerged under water. The man started gasping for breath, becoming every moment intensely restless. After some time the saadhu released
him. On reaching the surface the man was furious and said that being a saadhu, how are you indulging in such things? I would have died today! The saadhu asked him what he was remembering at that very moment in time while gasping for air? Did he remember his
mother, his father, his wife, or his son or wealth? "I was dying, this life-force was leaving, at such a time how could anything be remembered? The saadhu said- you had asked me about the true form of ardent desire – you have today experienced a flavor of what that is like. When besides the One Bhagwaan, nothing else is remembered, and without attaining Him you cannot live, then Bhagwaan will surely be attained. Even Bhagwaan has no power by which to remain unattained in such circumstances.
