One has to achieve many objects during life. The highest and the most valuable of these is winning the mercy of God, love of God. Love of God will give the great wisdom one needs to attain unshakeable inner peace. Everyone should endeavour to have an understanding of the true nature of the Divine. Of course, one cannot, at the very beginning, grasp the unmanifest absolute phenomenon. At first, one must impose a form and some attributes to bring it within reach. Then, step by step, one must try to enshrine it in oneself, as the descent of divine energy. The mere pursuit of success in this effort alone does not make the individual seeker entitled. One must also cultivate the spirit of service and be engaged in good deeds that earn people’s gratitude. Only thus can one accomplish the task of cleansing the levels of consciousness (chitta) and become a fit candidate for spiritual victory. (Vidya Vahini, Ch 11)
