The man cannot free himself from birth and
death, old age and disease without achieving
God. As soon as a child is born it cries, as if
to lament having fallen prey to cycle of worldly
sufferings. Being born and dying again and
again is painful. Finally, one has to go back
sad and empty-handed.
Achieving proximity to God is possible in
human existence only. The main aim of human
life is, to say so, achieving God. If we fail to
manage achieving the main aim of human
life, we would be losing a golden opportunity
and would be reduced to living an animal life.
'Know thyself' is the mantra of achieving God.
Soul is the gateway to union with God. You
can experience God through your soul only.
The poet Kabir speaks the truth in a
remarkably simple language: '0 Man, where
do you search me? I am very close to you —
right inside yourself', says God.
