Chapter 12
When a striver, practises repeatedly chanting His name, adoration and learning the scripture etc., his mind is purified,
and the desire for God-realization, is aroused. When he remains equanimous, in success and failure, desire becomes keen. This keen desire, makes him restless. This restlessness for God-realization, destroys the mundane attachment, as well as, sins of infinite births. Then he develops an exclusive devotion to Him, and so separation from God becomes unbearable for him. If he cannot live, without Him, He also cannot live without him, and so he attains Him.
A striver, does not attain Him, immediately, because he bears his separation, from Him. As soon as, this separation from - Him, becomes unbearable, God is attained because He pervades, everywhere. The only weakness of a striver is, that he has not a buming desire and so he cannot attain Him, immediately. It is because of his sensual desire, that he thinks that he will be able to realize Him, only in future. As soon as, there is restlessness and a burning desire for God-realization, the desire for sensual pleasures, will come to an end and God will then be realized, without any delay.
If a striver, in the beginning resolves, that he has to realize only God, whatsoever may happen in the worldly sphere, he can very quickly malice God, by anyone of the paths of action, of knowledge or of devotion.
