Reaching God is the Ultimate Objective
God says, “I am sitting in each and every body as a living soul. Feel me there.” When such a feeling is recognized then the life becomes a saintly life. Someone asked a saint, “Please let me know how to make life more beautiful?” The saint gave him three things – a piece of cotton, a candle and a needle, and said, “You can beautify your life with these three things.” Listening to the advice the man walked away a bit confused.
He did not understand what the saint actually meant by giving him the three things. He returned to the saint and asked for further explanation. The saint said, “This cotton is used to make threads which are further used to create fabric. The fabric is used to protect the body from the elements. God’s most loved is the one who honors everyone and who protects others. That is the purpose of the cotton.”
“Another item is the candle. Its light will spread in all directions and help people to find their way. They will not be lost. Such a person who shows the way is the most loved person of God. Invest your life to show the way and guide people in the right direction. You should be a candle to the world.”
The third thing is the needle
“Many people do not recognize the real value of the needle because it is so small but nothing in the world works without the needle. It works to mend torn clothes, uniting them, putting them together, binding them. Thus, any person who works to join and unite people or broken hearts is the most loved person of God. Be the needle in the society and help unite people – it is a great service. You then become the most favored person of God.” The man said, “You have given me such a beautiful advice together with these three things. I thought I had all these three small things at home. But now, after listening to you, I realize that the purpose of these three things was missing from my home.”
When we realize the significance of these three things we come to realize that we can make the world even more beautiful. This is the ideal way to reach God. Once every person starts mending and sewing love and unity in society, God shall emerge in every heart. There will be happiness all around and the universe will become more beautiful to live in.
