Believe and accept God and know the world. How to know God? By knowing God is present (existing, IS, Eternal, Permanent). And how to know the world? By knowing that the world is NOT (it is non-existing, impermanent, perishing, constantly changing). On knowing the world correctly, God will manifest.
If this point is clearly witnessed, then why is it not examined deeper? In this the reason is that we take pleasure from this world. As long as there is greed for worldly pleasures, till then even on saying that "this world is perishable, it is impermanent, it is unreal," then too it will not be seen as so.
A black bee, drills a hole in a bamboo and lives there. The bamboo is so very hard, but the teeth of a bee are so strong that it is able to drill holes in it! But when it rests on a lotus flower, and at night when the lotus closes it's petals, then it is unable to drill its way out. It thinks that the night will pass by, and when the morning comes, with the sunrise, then the lotus will blossom again and at that time I will fly away. It makes holes in a very hard bamboo, but is unable to drill the soft petals of the lotus.
Is it so weak? It becomes weak because it takes pleasure from the lotus, therefore it becomes weak! Similarly men take pleasure from the world, and therefore they become weak. There is a saying in Bikaner - "raadaraa kaacha" in other worlds, in front of a woman, a man becomes weak and "kaccha". What is kacchapan? Taking pleasure from the world is itself "Kacchapan". We have to get rid of this "kacchapan".
"God is" is accepted and "the world is perishable" is self-evident. If you correctly and truthfully get to know the world, then God will manifest Himself, that is all there is to it. Sit for sometime and let this point settle in that outside-inside, up–down, everywhere there is only God. Just as while taking a dip in the ocean, there is water everywhere, on all four sides, like that there is only God and God only everywhere. The pitiable world is getting destroyed just like that!
How to be free of wanting to take pleasure from the world?
If you understand this to be your weakness, then it will be go away. It will go away when you let it go away. Someone else cannot get rid of it. Therefore you exert your full effort. Thereafter if it does not go away, then call out to the Lord "He Naath! He Naath!" It is a principle that when a man becomes helpless, then he most certainly takes the support of the Almighty. One is that you do not want to get rid of the attraction you have towards worldly pleasures. And another is that you do not get rid of it. These are the two obstacles.
When these two obstacles are removed, then too if attraction to pleasure does not leave, then at that time, you will call out to God on your own. Even when things don't happen according to the child's wishes, then he begins to cry, and on crying all work gets done. In the same way, Gentlemen! Cry in front of the Lord, then all will be alright. That Lord is entirely capable. When He is present, why must we experience suffering? God is ours. The child says that mother is mine, then the mother has to take him in her lap. She is only a mother of this life; but Lord is the Eternal Mother of all.
