God, the LIFE GIVER & MOTIVATOR
श्रद्धा (faith), सबुरी (patience) are the two keywords we must have.
But again, the question is how?No amount of so called millions of motivation speakers can motivate you - they all tell you to think positive - at the most they would say think of beautiful nature, think of good times, read something that interests you, have a hobby etc. etc.
FOR MOTIVATION, ONLY REAL METHOD IS TO HAVE/EARN MERCY OF LORD & that is possible only by loving devotion & that is possible only by listening (श्रवणम) , reading, thinking (स्मरण) about Him & dedicating our thoughts, actions & words to Him & NOT IGNORING HIM by saying we do not have time for all this & we will do that in old age.
Ask those who are old - how much time in a day they have devoted to God, how lovingly devoted to God they have become ?
Actually, loving devotion is not a question of allotting time to God but is an "attitude", bent of mind, inclination that sticks with you 24x7.
Pure devotees keep doing all their office/job & family duties & still be in touch with Lord - simply due to their attitude towards Lord.
Call it ART OF LIVING - so earlier/younger you adopt spirituality in life, the better your life would be.
For example, God motivates people to join spiritual whatsapp groups & simultaneously motivates others to write His above motivational message, as God sits inside each being to INSTILL LIFE ITSELF & also to guide & motivate for the ULTIMATE & HIGHEST & GREATEST & ETERNAL BENEFIT OF ALL WHO ARE FORTUNATE TO READ & ASSIMILATE (absorb) HIS MESSAGE/S.
Those who are unfortunate do not join at all & leave such whatsapp groups not finding anything of interest or relevant to them.
Actually each message of His is a "knock" on the door of your heart, an insinuation (hint) to open your heart's door to Him BUT we constantly ignore that "knock" & DO NOT ALLOW HIM TO ENTER OUR HEARTS AS WE WANT TO "ENJOY" OUR LIFE INDEPENDENTLY (SAYING "THIS IS MY LIFE") WITHOUT ANY INSTRUCTIONS/INTERRUPTION FROM ANYBODY, BE IT EVEN GOD IN FACT- THIS IS THE EXACT REASON WHY GOD CREATED HIS CREATION TO LET US TRY TO ENJOY LIFE INDEPENDENT OF HIM.
BUT WITH OUR TEMPORARY HUMAN BODY & LIMITED CAPABILITIES, GRADUALLY WE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WORLD IS A PLACE FULL OF HARD WORK LABOUR (LIKE ASSES), MISERIES, OLD AGE, DISEASES & DEATH, WHERE EVERYBODY IS SELFISH & THOSE FORTUNATE BEINGS, FED UP WITH WORLD'S TROUBLES & SHOCKS, WITH SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE GRANTED BY GOD HIMSELF, TURN TO HIM IN CRY OF ANGUISH & THAT IS WHEN BHAKTI (LOVING DEVOTION TO LORD) STARTS AS THE DEVOTEE SUDDENLY FINDS IMMENSE BLISS IN THIS PURE LOVING DEVOTION WHICH IS निष्काम (without any material desire except for love of Lord).
