diluted by our love for him or otherwise the only difference is the subtle one of helping you by<br />
knowing when you need it (In fact it is needed every millisecond!) and doing it when asked for it. It<br />
is then in one’s own interest to love the God as one is never the loser in this love. Never try to be<br />
smart with him on the context that you have fooled the whole world. You can’t do it to him as he is<br />
the only one who is the one deep inside you and knows more about you than you know yourselves.<br />
The more your love for him becomes free of all the impurities the more he is there for you. It is<br />
futile to blame the God if small or even big things don’t go the way you want them to. Wait,<br />
patience is the key. This patience comes from the feeling that though the things are seemingly<br />
going topsy-turvy the God is there to rectify them when he feels that the moment has come to<br />
change the course of things and anyway if he doesn’t then what is the point in blaming him for<br />
something which he is not responsible for? You are the fortune yourselves and it is your doing or<br />
undoing which makes or breaks it. Blaming the God for your failure is utter nonsense. If you rather<br />
start loving him more at such times then the God never ever leaves you. It is just a sort of a test to<br />
evaluate your faith and belief. Once you meritoriously come out of this test the God and all the<br />
possible happiness in the Universe is there for your taking.<br />
The friendship with the God should be clung to with all the wisdom,<br />
unflinching, unwavering faith and should never be allowed to slip out of the grasp come what may.<br />
The faith should be true to your heart that the God is everything for me. This love can’t be shared<br />
with other loves to which one has to bid adieu. Shree Samarth means that one is bound to get<br />
attached to many people and material through constant contact and this attachment leads to love for<br />
them which have to be shed for the love for the God. Shree Samarth is also highly critical of people<br />
who just say that the God is the only one meant for them and others don’t matter, but it is just for<br />
the sake of saying and there is neither faith nor belief in the God. It is these people who have<br />
diluted the spiritual ways and they utilize this as a guise to lead a family life which in fact should be<br />
the other way round that is the family life should be utilized as a means to the spiritual one. He also<br />
says that whatever you desire may not necessarily be fulfilled by the God and he is under no<br />
obligation to do anything for you. In such cases these people become angry with the God who they<br />
use to satiate their desires. This type of worship has to be abhorred as it is of the meanest kind.<br />
Contrary to this all that happens should be accepted as the will of the God and one should remain<br />
happy all the time gleefully anchoring not only to him but whatever is sent to you by the God. If<br />
your attitude is like this then the God will certainly do things for your sake. As said earlier he takes<br />
small examinations or tests to verify your belief and faith in him. The unsaid meaning of this is<br />
very wide and the philosophy behind it very deep. The God himself always pulls all of us towards<br />
him; we don’t realize that because we don’t think like that. If we decide to accept all the things in<br />
the life without discontent we will automatically reach the God even without any effort. One should<br />
be always very happy in the state the God has kept him. This is total submission to the God and<br />
those who can do it experience that even the most unimaginable and unasked for things are being<br />
done by the God for them. These are not bookish flights of fancy but the real life experiences of the<br />
Saints and the Sages. God is the ocean of kindness in comparison with which even the mother’s<br />
love also pales into insignificance.<br />
One who submits to the God totally is looked after by him in all the<br />
imaginable and unimaginable situations. God is even slightly biased towards the poor, the<br />
downtrodden and the orphans (Not necessarily the literal ones but including the ones who have<br />
many people around but know that all have gathered around him, licked him short of death for pure<br />
selfishness). The only clause is that all such people should submit totally to him rejecting<br />
everything offered by others with the full knowledge that only God can save them from their
