And the attainment of God is not achieved through effort; it is achieved through contemplation. But the contemplation should be such that it becomes intense. It should be such that one cannot live without it. Then God can be attained just by contemplation. There is no need for anything else. Swami says God resides as Antaryami, there are five murtis. So, if I myself see the Antaryami God, I cannot make any use of Him. So, the use that should be made of Him in life is not happening. So, how can one get the maximum benefit from the Antaryami God? For that, one should practice as described in the scriptures. The Antaryami God does not do anyone's work. If we want to do some work, we look at the sherbet, no one is watching. He doesn't do the work, so we don't know that He watches us closely all the time. The murtis we have installed do the work. They do not stop us. Worldly objects are karma karma Action. Deed.
