10. Q. What is the easiest pathway to be blessed by Lord?

A. Easiest path like winning lottery!  Certainly we have it. Almighty's love for  us  is paripoornam-abounding. The only worry He has, is that His beloved children are busy, trying to derive contentment from material world which only offers fleeting pleasures.

We are trying for the water from the megham (cloud) ignoring the water in the hand.  We know little children turn down delicious food offered by their mothers and eat the mud in the yard. We are just like those children who are turning down the illimitable bliss and seeking transient happiness. Srimannarayana is indeed very anxious to offer us the illimitable bliss, only if we seek His help.

In Bhagavad Geeta He has discussed about Karma, Gnana and Bhakti Yogas and how these are paths to reach Him. But remember we are smaller than the atoms, yeshonu raatma chethasaa veditavyaha.

but He is mahatho maheeyan larger than the largest.

It is virtually impossible for us ‘to attain Him, with our own efforts. Hence He has given us an extremely easy solution.

 

sarva dharmaan parityajya

maamekam saranam vraja

ahamtwa sarva papebhyo

mokshayishyaami maa suchaha

 

If we surrender ourselves totally to God without any reservations and follow His mighty and able directions, He shall give us everything we need. We have to regard ourselves as a soldier and He, as the Commander-in-Chief.  As the most efficient Commander-in-Chief, He can guide us well and help us to cross this turbulent sea of samsara.    But if we do not put the total responsibility on Him and be responsible and take credit for good things and leave the bad to the Lord, then, He will let us have our way and you know how efficient that will be.
