Guest guest Posted August 5, 2001 Report Share Posted August 5, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “The simple way of reaching the Lord is that of love and love alone. As a devotee loves the Lord passionately the Lord’s heart melts in sympathy for him. Therefore unswerving devotion is the simplest way to attain the Lord. Scholarship, wealth or elaborate rituals are not needed to earn the grace of the Lord. He is satisfied even with the offering of a flower, a fruit or a leaf. But the offering has to be done with pure love and devotion. This is the only condition. Shabari offered only a fruit to Sri Rama and Gajendra offered only a flower to his Lord. And both attained Mukti by those simple offerings. Therefore, even the most poor and illiterate person can earn the grace of the Lord if he has in his heart sincere love and devotion for the Lord. This is the idea."
