Many clamour to experience spiritual bliss but few earn it, because they are too weak to reject the clamour of the senses! A little enquiry will reveal that senses are bad masters; the joy they bring is transitory and fraught with grief. Mere knowledge of this fact will not endow you with joy; only the contemplation of the might and majesty of God, can be a never-failing source of joy. No two individuals agree on any matter, be they brothers or sisters, life-mates or father and son. It is only as pilgrims on the Godward path that people heartily agree and lovingly co-operate. Be a pilgrim on the spiritual path even while attending to your daily duties. Feel that each moment is a step unto Him. Do everything, dedicating unto Him as He directs, as work for His adoration or to serve His children. Test your actions, words, thoughts on this touchstone: "Will this be approved by God? Will this rebound to His renown?"
