Belief in God is an indispensable requisite for every human being. It is a sine qua non.
Owing to the force of Avidya or ignorance, pain appears as pleasure. The world is full of miseries, troubles, difficulties and tribulations. The world is a ball of fire. The Antahkarana charged with Raga, Dvesha, anger and jealousy is a blazing furnace. We have to free ourselves from birth, death, old age, disease and grief. This can only be done by faith in God. There is no other way.
Money and power cannot give us real happiness. Even if we exercise suzerainty over the whole world, we cannot be free from worry, anxiety, fear, disappointment etc. It is only the faith in God and the consequent God Realisation through meditation that can give us real, eternal happiness and free us from all kinds of fear and worries which torment us at every moment. Faith in God will force us to think of God constantly and to meditate on God. This will eventually lead us on to God Realisation.
Belief in God and God Realisation will give us Parama Santi (supreme peace). In that peace comes the extinction of all pains. We will no longer be bewildered. We will be released from the bondage of actions. We will become immortal. We will obtain eternal Divine Wisdom. We will reach a place whence there is no return to this world of miseries, our sins being dispelled by Divine Wisdom. Our minds will ever remain balanced.
We will never rejoice on obtaining what is pleasant nor feel sorry on obtaining what is unpleasant. We will have an icy cool Antahkarana. We will be ever established in the Divine Consciousness. We will get “Akshaya Sukha, ” happiness exempt from decay. We will become one with God (Samadhi) and get eternal (Nitya), infinite (Ananta), unbroken (Akhanda) Bliss.
When we are established in the Divine Consciousness we will not be shaken even by heavy sorrow. We will get “Ateendriya Sukha” – happiness beyond the reach of senses (Supreme Bliss).
God will give us full security if we worship God with unswerving devotion and undivided attention. God gives us the Yoga of discrimination and discretion to enable us to reach Him easily. Out of pure compassion for us God destroys the ignorant darkness by shining the lamp of wisdom. God speedily lifts us from the ocean of Samsara if we fix our minds on steadily on God with devotion and faith. We will cross over the three qualities of the material world and when liberated from birth, death, old age, and sorrow, we will drink the nectar of immortality. By devotion and faith we will know God in essence and will enter into God’s very Being. Through God’s Grace bestowed on us, we will overcome all obstacles (Parama Pada-Parama Dhama).
