While struggling in the spiritual field, you should take God Himself as your protector. To instill courage in the child, the mother persuades it to walk a few steps and turn about, but she will not allow it to fall. If it totters and is about to lose balance, she hurries from behind it and catches it before it falls. God too has His eyes fixed on the individual souls(Jivi). He has in His hand the string of the kite which is man. Sometimes, He may give it a pull.
Sometimes, He may loosen the hold. But whatever He does, be confident and carefree, for it is He that holds the string. That faith ever present, that feeling hardening into a ritual(Samskara), will fill you with Premarasa (flavour of love).
The string is the bond of Love and Grace. The kite or individual soul is thus bound to God. You must do and earn auspicious rituals in order that the bond of Love and Grace may exist and get tightened.
The rituals make or mar a person. They are the steps which take all persons to the goal. Samskaras make him wade through loss and grief. Through good Samskaras alone can man attain the Lord.
So every person has to be wholly engaged in Sathkarma (good works). Sathkarma is the real ritual.
It is the best form of remembering the Lord. It is the highest Bhajan.
It spreads love, without distinction and difference.
It is service done as the duty of men.
Be engaged in such Karmas. Revel uninterruptedly in the thought of the Lord. This is the royal road to the goal you have to reach.
