To enter the door of GOD

SYNOPSIS: By becoming small we get the entry at the door of GOD. Therefore to enter the door of GOD we need to melt our egotism and become small. READ THE FULL ARTICLE BELOW -

Like a man with less height can enter any door, similarly, one who makes himself small can enter the door of GOD.

Till we remain big we will not get an entry at the door of GOD. We can only enter the door of GOD by becoming small.

A saint has summarized this in a beautiful way. Like we cannot board an airplane with heavy luggage and have to limit our luggage, similarly, we cannot reach GOD with heavy weight. The more light we will become we will have a better approach to GOD.

In our weight, the biggest weight is that of egotism. We develop ego due to wealth. We develop ego due to knowledge. We develop ego due to our post. We develop ego due to status and popularity and even we develop ego for having devotion.

GOD does not like egotism at all. We cannot reach the door of GOD with the weight of egotism. It is foolish to even presume to reach GOD with egotism.

GOD in clear words states to come with light weight to Him then only the door of GOD will open for us.

There are lots of advantages to becoming small. The biggest advantage is that egotism ends, which is the biggest hurdle to reach GOD. When we become small our egotism automatically ends. When we consider ourselves big then only egotism develops. When we consider ourselves small egotism disappears.

A saint instructed a rich, intelligent, and status-oriented person to clean a public or a personal temple by sweeping and wiping it. This is a great way to overcome egotism. Because he who has many servants when undertakes service by self at a public or personal temple his egotism ends. In Shivalaya (temple of GOD Shree Shivji) you will usually find many devotees undertaking the cleaning of the temple. It is a perfect and great way to curtail egotism.

The supreme devotee GOD Shree Hanumanji also accepted the devotion as a servant of GOD. After becoming a servant of GOD there is no place for egotism. When GOD is the master and the devotee is the servant then like a servant has no ego and he sweeps and wipes and cleans the used utensils, similarly, the devotee keeps no exception in undertaking all types of service of GOD. When we undertake all types of service of GOD our egotism melts. As soon as egotism melts we become qualified to reach GOD.

The summary is that when we become small we will get an entry at the door of GOD else birth after birth we will not get entry at the door of GOD.

Therefore a creature must develop a habit of becoming small. For this to happen, accepting the service of GOD as a servant is a perfect means. We must become a servant of GOD by which automatically we will become small and be devoid of egotism.

The supreme devotee GOD Shree Hanumanji in His character has shown how by becoming a servant of GOD we can become devoid of egotism and can reach GOD. When He was going to Lanka in search of Bhagwati Sita Mata then in the ocean, Sursa who was sent by Deities, came to take His examination of egotism. This was the examination of His egotism. Sursa opened her mouth then GOD Shree Hanumanji increased His body by double, then Sursa again increased the opening of her mouth and GOD Shree Hanumanji again increased His body by double and then He made Himself small and entered the mouth of Sursa and came back. The saints have summarized this episode beautifully and said that GOD Shree Hanumanji became big in heroism and then took a small shape and told that the heroism was of His GOD Shree Ramji whereas His capability was as His small shape.

Therefore we must become small and accept the devotion as a servant of GOD and try to advance on the path that leads to GOD.
