Know that Paramatma (God) is the goal of man. Direct all attention to that goal. Control the mind that wanders away from it. This is the essence of the teachings of all the Shastras (scriptures). Be bound to the Atma in you. Take refuge in it. Meditate on it without interruption. Then the worldly bonds would loosen themselves, for the bond with which you attach yourself to the Lord has the power of unbinding all other bonds.
God will decide what to give, when to give, and where. Hence, all actions should be dedicated to God, and He will decide what the devotee is fit to receive. When everything is left to God out of pure love and total faith, God will take care of the devotee. People today lack such firm faith. In the path of devotion, many ordeals have to be overcome. Great devotees in the past faced such ordeals with faith and fortitude. Ultimately they secured the grace of the Divine and experienced bliss. For achieving anything in life, two things are essential: firm faith and pure love.
Wherever there is a vacuum in any heart, love flows into it and is glad that it can fill the emptiness. It is never held back; it is offered in abundance without guile or deceit. It does not wear the cloak of falsehood, flattery or fear. The tendrils of love aspire to cling only to the garments of God. It senses that God resides in all His splendour in every heart. To discover that seat of God is real devotion.
