The Grace of Sri Devpuriji
The journey is from human being to God-realization. Nārāyaṇa is the original God of mercy and consciousness, the liberator. Satsaṅg is the source of the wisdom required for this liberation. Human life is brief; most of it is darkness of karma and ignorance. Only a few days are luminous. Therefore, time is precious and must be used for spiritual work, which is all one can take beyond this life. Understanding comes through sustained spiritual practice and grace. The Guru principle is essential for liberation. Do not listen to the outer world, which will always contradict your inner truth. Listen only to your inner Self for realization. There are two paths: one through grace alone, and one through personal effort combined with grace. Worldly instincts, such as for family, indicate one should follow the householder path with devotion. Saints fulfill the sincere wishes of devotees, but fulfillment requires a pure heart without tricks. Discipline is crucial, as the mind easily reverts to old habits. True devotion brings everything.
