Our essential need (aavashyaktaa) is of God. We must never forget this essential need (necessity). We must keep that flame burning within at all times. If we feel sleepy, then let sleep come, but from our side, this essential need must not fall into oblivion. If we keep up the intensity for the deep longing and need for God Realization burning and aroused continuously for twenty-four hours, our aim of God Realization will be attained within this period. In between, if any other desire emanates, then it will take much longer. If other desires arise, we should negate (disapprove) them, by shaking our head from side to side. If there is no other desire, God-Realization will not take even a day.
God Realization is not difficult, because - where does God not exist? When does He not exist? In whom does He not exist? There is neither a thing, nor time, nor space, nor place, nor person, nor state, nor circumstance in which God is not present. The only thing that God needs is having only desire to realize Him. We must have only that one desire, that intense longing, how to realize Him. We need not see how He is. We must never forget that it is an essential need (aavashyaktaa, necessity) for us to attain Him. Revelation of the only desire may take time, but God Realization will take no time. The people may call us mad, may utter any words against us, we need not care. If we have the only desire to realize Him, all other desires will be wiped out. When all other desires are wiped out, then the craving for God Realization will be fulfilled.
In the Gita, the Lord has declared -
Ananyachetaah satatam yo maam smarati nityashah |
Tasyaaham sulabh paarth nityayuktasya yoginah || (Gita 8/14)
"O' Parth (son of Kunti)! The Yogi who perpetually thinks of Me and undividedly remains absorbed in Me, to him I am easily attainable."
"Ananyacetaah" means that the aspirant should have no desire besides God. He should have a desire neither for life, nor for death, neither for pleasure, nor for pain. The term "Satatam" means that he should think of God constantly, from the time he is awake, to the time he is asleep. And "Nityasah" means that he should think of Him from today, to the day he dies. When an aspirant possesses these three characteristics, God is easily attainable to him. It means that he should constantly have the only necessity (aavashyaktaa), the only hunger, the only awakening, how to realize God. As soon as an aspirant has the only inclination (attraction) to Him, He is attained. If there is any other inclination, it will be a stumbling block to God Realization. There should not be any difficulty in having only one inclination. The reason is that besides God, there is nothing permanent and imperishable, then how will an aspirant be attached to them? Why should he be inclined to them? Where will he be inclined? There is nothing or none which / who may stay at all times, everywhere, in everything, in every person, in every state and in every circumstance. But God pervades equally everywhere, at all times, in everything, in every person, in every state and in every circumstance. In the entire universe, there is nothing else besides God.
