"Dispassion is not possible unless there is satiety through enjoyment." - Bill W. Ramakrishna
How can one realize God? "By directing your love to Him and constantly reasoning that God alone is real and the world illusory. The aswatha tree alone is permanent; its fruit is transitory."
This calls to mind the anonymous monk of the Dark Ages whose "The Cloud of Unknowing" urges a kind of bhakti approach toward a God beyond the ken. Spray enough arrows of love and one eventually finds the mark. Maintain a beam of devotion until it illuminates the mother ship. Pray with a yearning heart, expecting nothing.
