Attaining God
(Bhagavatpraapti)
To be contented with regard to God, and to be discontented with regards to the world, is most harmful.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
Just as a fish without water is desperate, similarly, if we were to get restless and distressed in the absence of God, then there would be no delay in attaining God.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
On attaining God, there is nothing more to do or to know, or to get. In this lies the success of human life and its fulfillment.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
An aspirant must realise, that God exists everywhere, therefore He is also here; God exists at all times, therefore is present now. He exists in all and therefore, exists in me as well. He belongs to all and therefore He is mine as well.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
In attaining God, restlessness brings quicker results than any other thought out spiritual practice.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
Not having a keen longing in one's self, causes delay In the attainment of God.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
In a game, if a boy is spotted by another, he has to present himself and not to remain hidden any more. Similarly God is hidden everywhere, if an aspirant perceives him everywhere, then God would not be hidden, but would reveal Himself.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
By turning away from all other sides, an aspirant attains his beloved God within himself.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
An easy means of attaining God is not through actions, but by intense longing.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
For attaining Him, if God has bestowed a human form on man, He has also granted man full competence and other means along with, so much so, that man could in his life attain God many times over.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
God's relations are marked by equality with each caste, stage of life, sect, order, so wherever one is situated, he can attain God.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
Man desirous of attaining God, with a true heart, may belong to any caste, creed, stage of life, sect or condition, or be a great sinner or of bad character, he is entitled fully to attain God.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
An aspirant should have no expectations from the world, which is not everlasting and he should he never without hope in God, because He is never non-existent.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
Because of deficiency in earnest longing, delay occurs in God's attainment, but not because of inadequacy of effort.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
Having taken refuge in the perishable (unreal) and through the unreal, to desire to attain the permanent (real) is a great mistake.
❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇ ❇❇❇
The purpose for which one receives the human body, if it is difficult to achieve that objective, then what is easy?
