Paramatma (God) Can be Attained Assuredly Today Itself! - Part I

 

Paramatma (God) realization (Paramatma praapti) is very easy. There is

no other work that is as easy as this. However, there must be longing,

want of only Paramatma and nothing else. Because there is none at all

that is like Paramatma. Just like Paramatma is One, unique, undivided,

whole, single without another (ananya), similarly want of Paramatma

must also be undivided, exclusive, unique, one without another. For

the attainment of worldly enjoyments, three things are necessary :†"

 

1) Desire 2) Effort and 3) Destiny. First and the foremost there must

be a desire to acquire worldly things. Then for its acquisition, one

needs to make an effort. After making effort (doing karma), it will be

acquired if one is destined to get it. If one is not destined to

receive then even in spite of wanting and making the effort, one will

not receive it. Therefore we try to make an effort for the purpose of

gains (profit), but end up incurring losses! But Paramatama

realization is purely by aspiring and desiring (icchaa). In this,

neither effort nor destiny play a role or are required. In this path

of divinity there are never any losses, there is gains and only gains

(naffaa).

 

Besides Paramatma (God) there is nothing that can be attained purely

from aspiring and desiring. The reason for this is that human body has

been received only for attaining Paramatma. With the aim of realizing

Him alone this human body has been bestowed upon us. The second point

is that God is Omnipresent (in all places). Not even the space where

the sharp tip of a needle can stand is vacant without Paramatma.

Therefore in attaining Paramatma, effort and destiny are of no use at

all. By effort only those things are attained that are perishable.

The imperishable Paramatma cannot be attained through effort.

Realization of Paramatma is only from ardent longing and desire.
