Without the sanction of the Lord, man cannot achieve anything in the

world. The Divine is the basis for everything. Man, however, is filled

with conceit that he is the one who is doing everything. This pride is

the cause of his ruin. It is the cause of his frustration and

disappointment. Man today is basing his life on reliance on Nature and

is hence forgetting God. This is a grievous mistake. You must place

your faith in God, the Creator of the universe, and then enjoy what

Nature provides. Faith in God is the primary requisite for man.

 

 

 

People engage in Bhajan (devotional singing), Pooja (ritualistic worship) and

Dhyana (meditation) . But these are only at the physical plane. But, unless

these are imbued with sincerity, they will not elevate us to the Divine. The

Lord judges you by the sincerity of your thoughts, not by the form of your

worship. The Lord sees your bhakthi (devotion) and not shakthi (power). He cares

for your gunas (qualities) and not your kula (caste or lineage). He looks at

your chiththam (heart) and not at your viththam (wealth). You must strive to

purify your heart and engage yourself in righteous action, with devotion and

integrity. No Sadhana (spiritual discipline) is of any use if you are involved

in sinful deeds.
