Guest guest Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Why are some people not devoted to God? Devotion, it seems, has no place in their lives. Would you kindly tell us the reason? Very simple. It is only sensual pleasure that makes people disinclined towards God. Meaningless worry about the future, excessive desires, building castles in the air are a way of life with them. Ambition to reach heights they don't deserve and too much attachment to the family and the world, all these are factors that make a man not devoted to God. There can be no other reason beyond these. You know the seesaw on which children play. If one end goes up, the other end comes down, and vice versa. If the stress is laid on the world, your love of God will be less, and on the other hand, if your love of God is greater (heavy at one end as in the game) your attachment to the world becomes less (light at the another end as in the game). This is how the balance works. Isn't it so? I will give you another example, that of a magnet. It draws iron filings towards it. But . sometimes it doesn't. Why? If the iron pieces are rusted and dusty, they are not drawn and attracted by the magnet. Likewise, people who are like iron pieces dusty and rusted by worldly desires are not drawn to God, the `Divine Magnet'. Is it clear now why some are not devoted to God?
