LORD GIVES DIFFERENT DICTATION TO THE DEVOTEES ("I give the understanding by which they can come to Me") and NON-DEVOTEES (MAKES THEM FORGET THE LORD'S SERVICE, LIFE AFTER LIFE)
Srimad Bhagvatam:
https://vedabase.io/en/library/sb/7/5/12/
“The Lord is situated in everyone's heart, giving dictation according to the attitude of the servant.
However, the Lord gives different dictation to the non-devotees and devotees.
The non-devotees challenge the authority of the Supreme Lord, and therefore the Lord dictates in such a way that the non-devotees forget the Lord's service, life after life, and are punished by the laws of nature.
But when a devotee very sincerely wants to render service to the Lord, the Lord dictates in a different way.
"To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give the understanding .by which they can come to Me." tesham satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-pürvakam dadami buddhi-yogam tam yena mam upayanti te(Bg.10.10)
Spirituality is the only differentiating factor between humans & animals – so utiliZe this special human power immensely merely because it is our obligatory duty to Lord who has given us EVERYTHING
Let us show our deep gratitude to Him by taking first step towards Him
we cannot do anything else to repay our debt to Him - as everything in the creation, including we all, is His property only - so that He takes all the next steps towards us.
Lord is extremely kind & patient – He simply waits & waits for a being to take 1st step towards Him & then He does the rest.
But how unfortunate we turn out to be by not even taking one step towards Him.
“तेरी चौखट पर आना मेरा काम था
पर काम इतना भी मुझसे किया ना गया”

A devotee says:
“कोऊ निंदक
somebody criticizes
कोऊ वन्दक
somebody praises
वृथा बकत बहुतेरे
there are many who pointlessly talk
पर मोहे तो अपनों दूल्हो राजी चाहिए
but all I need is that my Husband (Lord) should be pleased with me
जा संग पारे फ़ेरे
with whom I've taken 7 rounds of ETERNAL marriage
सब विधि मैं इनकी और ये मेरे
I'm His in all manners
हमारे ठाकुर जी रीझने चाहिए
"my God should be pleased, that's all I need”
