[TD]Like a lighted lamp, God’s Grace spreads all round, on all who approach Him and love to be near Him. But if you interpose a shade which shuts out the light from you, if Grace does not shine, you have only yourself to blame. Open the doors of your heart and let the sunlight of God’s grace shine through and illumine all the corners and drive out the vices. To receive the desired programme on your radio set, you have to switch on and tune the receiver. That is an inescapable effort. Believe, strive and succeed - that is the message of the sacred texts.

One can please God by offering HIM what he/she has, either through Prayer or
Neivedhyam according to the God's earmarked/dedicated Prasadams. In fact, HE
sees us every moment as to what we are doing through our life practices, inner
and outer mind feelings towards HIM. God realization is not a futile exercise. There
are some people who deny the existence of God straightaway without accepting
our Ithihasas or Puranas, where we are explained through various Avatars. In fact,
faith is the harbinger of reality. The crowing of a Cock is a harbinger of Dawn. The
Cuckcoo is a harbinger of Spring. The feeling of gratitude makes a person genuinely
happy and God is thus pleased, when a person is really happy. Upanishads and
Purnas have clearly outlined that the body is the Chariot and the Soul is its Master.
Truth, faith, belief and Confidence besides dedicated worship awakens the body and
pilots the soul. As Baba says, one should open the doors to HIM to get in and live
in through his Namas, Chanting of Mantras or Slokas, etc.
