Obedience, dedication and spiritual contact are all interlinked. Only if you dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to the cause will you be able to establish the inner contact. Otherwise you may remain here for a number of year and work like a bull; but you will not derive much spiritual benefit. The method of controlling the mind also has been beautifully given by all the sages and saints. They said serve, love give, purify, meditate, realize be good, do good, be kind and compassionate enquire about the nature of your true self. This is the essence of the teachings of all sages, prophets and saviors of the world. Follow them and attain self realization this every moment. What is lacking in these people is the spirit of dedication. If you sincerely and whole-heartedly dedicate yourself to the divine cause, such situations as this one will never arise. It is this half hearted seva that fives ample room for the old vicious samskaras to assume great proportions and lead you astray. You may work day and night but unless this spirit of dedication is fully aroused in your heart, you will still be wavering in your faith, in your adherence to divine life, and pit falls will crowd your path.
