Category:Sincere for God
Theme Analysis
The concept of sincerity is the foundational qualification for anyone desiring to make progress in spiritual life. According to the teachings presented in this category, sincerity acts as the driving force that attracts the mercy of the Supreme Lord and the spiritual master. It is not merely an internal sentiment but is demonstrated through practical execution of the mission, strict adherence to regulative principles, and an intense desire to serve. When a devotee is sincere, the Lord, acting as the Supersoul, dictates from within, removing material obstacles and guiding the soul back to its eternal constitutional position.
- The Gift of the Sadhu: The primary function of a saintly person is to train the conditioned soul to become a sincere servitor and worshiper of the Lord.
- Reciprocation from Within: The Supreme Lord, situated in the heart, observes the sincerity of the devotee and reveals Himself in proportion to the devotee's seriousness and purification.
- Purification of Desires: A unique feature of the Lord's mercy upon a sincere devotee is the removal of material possessions or ambitions that may hinder spiritual progress, thereby forcing the devotee to depend solely on Him.
