Attaining God
(Bhagavatpraapti)
God can only be realized when the following five are not favourable—"enjoyment of sense-objects, sleep, laughter, love of the world, and much talk."
**** **** **** ****
So long as there is desire for untruth, its refuge and trust, till then truth is not perceived.
**** **** **** ****
Attachment for God is truly not difficult, but due to lack of ardent desire it becomes so.
**** **** **** ****
God does not insist on action, but demands feelings— `Bhaavagraahi Janaardanah' By Godly feelings (single minded devotion) God grants His view (Darshana) but not by action.
**** **** **** ****
By cutting of links with ephemeral things, the permanent essence, is automatically intuited by the self.
**** **** **** ****
Man has a right to attain God and under every circumstance he can achieve Godhood.
**** **** **** ****
It does not take long to attain God—only time in giving up the desire for sensual pleasures.
**** **** **** ****
If there be exclusive longing for God then God would reveal Himself or if, there are no other desires, He would still reveal Himself, but there should be no incompleteness in this.
**** **** **** ****
Know the `Sat' or you might not; what you know as Asat, shun it, then you would attain the Sat.
**** **** **** ****
To achieving God, man is as much free, as in no other work.
**** **** **** ****
Not many means are required for attaining God, but inner devotion is essential.
**** **** **** ****
God does not meet a Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, celibate, householder, recluse or a Sanyaasi, but he meets a devotee.
**** **** **** ****
In acquiring wealth, action is dominant, but for achieving God, longing is important.
**** **** **** ****
The alignment of God, is not a fruit of action, but is of grace, however the desire rests with oneself.
**** **** **** ****
The world is incomplete and we acquire it as incomplete, God is complete and meets as complete.
