God realization needs no effort

     In the normal business of life and more often at certain crucial junctures of our life, we forget who we are and whom do we belong to. Mankind is the most exalted creation of the Lord. Human beings are like mobile temples worthy of worship. In this corporal frame, which is made of five ‘tatvas’ (derived from nature) resides ‘jeevatman’ which is an inseparable part of ‘Paramatman’. Five ‘tatvas’ that the corporal frame derives from nature are temporary, ever-changing and subject to destruction.  But the ‘jeevatman’ that resides in the mobile temple came from the Lord Himself. It is permanent, primeval, everlasting and ultimately merges into the Lord Himself. Purer the mind, easier it is to perceive the presence of Paramtatva in every living being that we come across and earnest efforts to  render selfless service to His creation is, in fact, serving the Lord Himself. This is Karmayoga.

     We are attached to the material world so intensely that we start regarding it as a real one, stable and permanent, but the fact is that it is changing every moment. This present moment goes into the past instantly and the next moment of future becomes present in a moment. Future becomes present and present becomes past so momentarily that we are unable to even keep a track of it.  And yet we keep revolving around our ego-centric desires so intimately and confidently that we take it for certain that I, my, me and the material world is the ultimate and keep living in that myth.  Alas! We forget our real self (atam-swaroop) and our rela-tionship with the supreme soul (Brahm-Swaroop).  Knowledge about the existence of God, our eternal relationship with Him and the temporary nature of this material world, is Gyanayoga.           

      To achieve anything in this material world, we need to consistently make earnest efforts and work hard in that direction. For example, to obtain a degree from University, we have to study hard for years together. Similarly, to establish any business and develop that as a reasonably good source of income, one has to invest money, time, energy, and years of earnest efforts to achieve that target.

     However, to realize and bring together the relationship of ‘atam-tatva’ and the ‘Brahm-tatva’ and to let one merge into the other, you do not need to invest money, time, energy, or to make consistently earnest efforts. The most beautiful situation is that that relationship already exists right since  the creation of this Universe. It is just a matter of accepting that ultimate truth.  Unconditional surrender unto the lotus feet of the Lord and a firm conviction that you belong to Him and He belongs to you and both are one entity, is Bhaktiyoga and is the easiest path to God realization. Remember, once you accepted a particular women as your mother, there was no going back. There is no scope for any doubt, ifs or buts. Likewise, it is so simple, effortless and natural to accept that Jeevatman belong to Paramatman and Paramatman belongs to Jeevatman. The relationship is eternal.
