Tap to open in glossary → In this Vachanamrut, Maharaj has not taken up the question of how a simple relationship with God is formed. He has discussed the point of how a relationship of oneness is formed. Therefore, there is a need to compare even the internal endeavors.

And what is its limitation, that it cannot do more than this? If one does not know this, then their effort will not be of much use. If the endeavor is great but one does not give time or energy to it, and instead keeps putting more strength elsewhere, they may put more strength, but the other will only give as much as it can, not more.
