The demi-god's (Devataah) life is a birth for enjoyments. They too desire to attain Bhagwaan – "Devaa apyasya roopasya nityam darshankaadishanh" (Gita 11:52)– "Demi-gods also are always desirous of beholding this form.". Though desiring God, they are unable to give up desire for enjoyments. The same is the condition of human beings. If you earnestly wish to behold God, God will have to appear before you; there is no doubt in it. But if you yourself put a bar that God cannot appear, He will surely not appear! It has been declared explicitly in Gita –
Api chetsuduraachaaro bhajate maam anayabhaak,
saadhureva sa mantavyah samyagvyavasito hi sah.
ksipram bhavati dharamaatmaa sasvacchaantim nigacchati,
kaunteya pratijaaneehi na me bhaktah pranasyati.
"Even if the vilest of sinner worships Me with exclusive devotion, he should be considered a saint in as much as he has rightly resolved. Speedily, he becomes virtuous and secures lasting peace. Know it for certain, Arjuna, that My devotee never falls. "
The point here is – even if the vilest sinner becomes an exclusive devotee, in other words, other than Bhagwaan he is desirous of nothing else, he also should be considered a saint, because he has rightly resolved that Bhagwaan will be certainly attained.
Desire only Bhagwaan, and don't desire anything else. Neither desire to live, nor desire to die. Neither desire for respect, nor desire for greatness. Neither desire for enjoyments, nor desire for wealth. Only one desire – Bhagwaan, then He will surely be attained. Minimally, at least test my statement and see for your self! God does not come to you, because you do not want Him.
Bhagwaan (God) is unattainable only because we do not want Bhagwaan. If you long for money, riches etc. then in the midst why would God intervene? The worst thing in the world is money. There is nothing more despicable than money – nothing at all. If your mind is engrossed in such a worthless thing, how can God come to you? By giving money you can purchase food, clothes, vehicles etc., but money itself cannot be eaten, worn or ridden on. The point is that money itself is of no use at all. Rather it's utility is what matters.
Bhagwaan (God) can be attained purely by desire (i.e. earnest aspiration, longing). No one at all will be able to restrict Him if you have a burning desire. If a child is weeping, the mother definitely comes. The child does not do any household chores. On the contrary, he hinders your work. But when the child cries, everyone in the household is on his side. All members of the family – mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, all of them say, "Oh, why don't you do something for this little one, carry him and console him." The mother has to stop all her work to carry and take care of the child. The only power the child possesses is loud crying – "Baalaanaam rodananm balam" - "To weep is the power of the children". If you were to sincerely weep for God, earnestly cry
and call out to Him, then all devotees, saints, noble souls would take up your side and invoke God by complaining – "Why do you not appear before him?"
