Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 God, on being worshipped, bestows steadiness in devotion which leads to surrender. Upon the devotee's surrender, God shows His mercy by manifesting as the Guru. The Guru, otherwise God, guides the devotee saying that God is in you and He is the Self. This leads to introversion of the mind and finally to Realization. Effort is necessary up to the state of Realization. Even then, the Self should spontaneously become evident. Otherwise, happiness will not be complete. Up to that state of spontaneity, there must be effort in some form or another.
