How can God be Realized Quickly ?

God is attracting all beings in this universe. He is magnetically pulling them towards Himself, therefore He is called Krishna. God does not let a being last in a particular situation or circumstance. This is His magnetic pull. This is the calling from God, that you come to Me ! Lord Krishna says in the Gita -
Aabrahmbhuvalokaah punaraavartinorjun |
Maamupettya tu kaunteya punarjanma na vidhyate || (Gita 8/16)
"O' Arjuna ! All worlds from the abode of Brahma downwards, are by nature subject to birth; But O, Son of Kunti, on attaining Me there is no rebirth.
It means that without God Realization, man does not last anywhere, and time and again he wanders around helplessly in this world. It is only on attaining God that man rests.
"Na tad bhaasayate suryo, na shashaanko ne paavakah.
Yed gatvaa na nivartante, tad dgaam param mama" (Gita 15:6).
"Neither doth the sun illuminate That (Eternal Goal), nor the moon, nor the fire; having gone their, they (who reach there) return not; that is My Supreme Abode." (Gita 15:6)
However much of strength you may apply, neither the body will stay with you forever nor the family. Not one single thing in this world will remain with you forever. The reason is God is constantly pulling you towards Him. It is His immense grace on us ! Therefore if you turn away from the world, then God Realization will take place and you will become joyful once and for all. If you remain immersed in the world, then there will be no end to sorrow, and at all times there will be new doses of suffering, and there will be all kinds of distress appearing all the time.
It is a sad thing that people ask God, saints and great souls for worldly happiness. After doing charity and various observances and merits, then too in return you buy the great suffering in the form of a trap. It is a very disgraceful thing ! Goswami Tulasidasji says -
Yehi tana kara phala bishaya na bhaayi |
Swargau swalp ant dukhadaayu ||
Nar tana paayi bishayam mana dehim
Palate sudhaa te sath bish lehin ||" (Manas, Utter. 7/43/1).
This body has been received for giving others happiness, and for serving others. Foolish people give away ambrosia (nectar of the gods), and take poison in return. When this human body is received for attaining God, then too, having a demand of worldly perishable things is utterly a shameful thing. If you say that without this requirement we cannot live, then by becoming distressed, pray to the Lord ! O' Lord ! We cannot get rid of this need for pleasures and things, therefore my Lord ! You only get rid of them. If this prayer is genuine, then God will undoubtedly get rid of it. However you take relish in sense pleasures, objects and it's demands, you become pleased in them, you have no desire to bring and end to this, then how will this demand go away? (to be continued)
