Attaining God – 3

So long as there remains the wish to ‘do’ or to ‘gain’ anything, till then, one does not perceive the eternal God. (422)

God’s attainment results only after fervent desire.   The main reason is for not having such a desire, is the wish for enjoyment of worldly pleasure. (423)

In the Satyayuga etc., whatever Godly attainment was achieved by the great saints, the same is available today to all, in the Kaliyuga also. (424)

The satisfaction of pleasure is not forever, nor for all, but the attainment of God is open to all, and for all times. (425)

In the attainment of God, there is primacy of feelings and not of action. (426)

God is not attained by obstinacy, but by true devotion. (427)   

In the attainment of God, man importantly needs spiritual feelings and good conduct, but not high caste or creed. (428)

There is primacy of discrimination, feelings and renunciation (of attachment) in attaining God, but not so much of action. (429)

Where there is a beginning and an end for each act, so how could its fruit be without end. So God is not action-oriented. (430)

Keen desire for attaining God, creates the burning tire of separation, which destroys the sins of unlimited births and enables attainment of God. (431)

The absence of keen desire for God-attainment, primarily results from desire for worldly pleasures, hopes and enjoyment. (432)

If anything can be equally attained by all, that thing is only God. Excepting God, nothing can equitably be acquired by all. (433)
