Swami Prakashanand Saraswati Explains the Path to Reach God

Swami Prakashanand Saraswati has dedicated his life to guiding seekers on the path of divine love and God realization. He explains that the true purpose of life is to purify the heart through bhakti, with the help of Saints and scriptures that serve as living channels of God’s grace.

According to Swami Prakashanand Saraswati:

Originally the cosmic power, maya, was in a dormant state. God simply enlivened maya and this world evolved according to its own nature. When this world evolves two things are there: material phenomena, and all the souls. Every soul has a mind. A person with an impious mind spends his whole life struggling to find happiness in the world, and a person with a pious mind also looks for happiness, but is sincerely involved in trying to find God. There are thousands of ways that God helps all the souls to find Him.

God introduced Divine knowledge in the form of the Vedas, and sent a number of Saints on the earth to teach the path.

If you read the life history of those Saints you will find that their living was totally renounced, fully in the love of God, and they taught souls how to come to God.

The Divine power is always in the world in omnipresent form – in the form of a Saint, and in the form of the scriptures. There are two kinds of scriptures: philosophical, and those that reveal the loving leelas of Radha Krishn. Both kinds of scriptures are available. Many rasik Saints of Vrindaban wrote Divine songs explaining the greatness of Krishn love. They advised the souls to aspire for Radha and Krishn, develop deep longing, purify the heart, receive Divine Grace, and to visualize the leelas they described.

When you have a pure desire to find God, the scriptures and Saints are Divine powers that are always available to help you. They teach that every soul is looking for God, but you have to consciously desire God to find Him. Study of the scriptures is not an intellectual study. If you read the scriptures with a sincere mind they will guide you, and if you find a Saint he will teach you the path to God.

The purpose of human life is to reach God, and to find God a person has to have correct understanding of himself, this world, worldly attractions, God’s power, God’s Grace, God’s abode and God’s love.

The aim of the Vedas is to bring every soul towards God by purifying the mind. Purification means a longing for God’s vision. If there is no longing for God then there is no purification. God Himself said bhakti is the way to purify your heart.

There are many words in our Sanskrit scriptures -bhakti, prapatti, sharanagati, pushti… they all mean the feeling of divine-love-consciousness, devotional consciousness, a spiritual longing. When you are longing for God’s vision, that feeling purifies your heart directly. It reduces your worldly attachments and purifies your heart. It has double force, which makes it very effective. Other forms of heart purification don’t reduce your attachments. Bhakti reduces your worldlyattachments and increases your longing for God – and it is the shortest path to realize God. In their writings and teachings all the great Saints said to do bhakti, enter into divine-love-consciousness and reach God. That is the essence of all of our scriptures and teachings of our saints.
