Shree Hari
A man can realize God very easily and quickly. But it is because of the attachment to the world that it seems that God will be realized with great difficulty and appears to take a very long time. In fact, God Realization is not difficult, but renunciation of attachment to the world is difficult. If we reflect upon it deeply, we come to know that renunciation of attachment is also not difficult. The reason is that no attachment constantly persists. A person is predominantly attached to two things – pleasures and prosperity. But attachment to them does not constantly persist even for a single day. It has no power at all to persist constantly.
We are attached to the things which emanate and perish. This is a rule that things which emanate and perish, can never satisfy a man (self). How can the perishable satisfy the imperishable? How can attachment to the perishable be imperishable? It can't be at all ! Attachment is a fleeting flaw. The method to root it out is to enhance the one and only desire (longing) and that is, "may I develop love (prem) for only God". We should think over day and night, how to enhance love for Him. Besides love for Him, we should have no other desire, not even the desire for His vision (darshan). In this desire of love for God, there is a remarkable power. If this desire is enhanced, God can be realized very quickly. This desire should be enhanced so much that all other desires are annihilated. If there is only one burning desire - "I must have exclusive love for God", this desire will be fulfilled within no time.
"May God appear sweet and dear to me and may I feel Love for His lotus feet." - this is indeed our necessity (essential need, aavashyaktaa). There is a difference between "necessity" and "desire". The worldly desire is called longing, wish, craving, hope etc., while the desire for God is called necessity, hunger or thirst etc. It means that attraction towards the perishable is desire; and attraction towards the imperishable is a necessity (aavashyaktaa). A desire attracts a man towards pleasure and prosperity, while necessity directs a man towards the association with exalted souls, adoration and meditation etc. It is a rule that desires are never satiated, while necessity (aavashyaktaa) is certainly fulfilled. The extent to which we have accepted our affinity for the inert (insentient), to that extent we feel a lack (shortage) of things, and that shortage is compensated only by necessity. When affinity for the inert is renounced totally, desires are wiped out and necessity (essential need) is fulfilled.
Till today all desires of even a single person have not been satiated. If we gain a lot of wealth, riches, property, pleasures and even kingdom of infinite universes, our desire will never be satiated, it will remain unsatisfied. But the necessity is certainly fulfilled, it is never wiped out. If the8e is no desire for or attachment to anything, the necessity will be fulfilled undoubtedly. (to be continued)
