One has only a short span of life on earth. But even in this short life one can attain divine bliss, by wisely and carefully using the time. Two people, same in appearance, ostensibly of the same mould, and also grown under the same conditions, but one turns out to be an angel while the other stays on with one's animal nature. What's the reason for this differential development? Habits, behaviour formed out of these habits, and the character into which that behaviour has solidified. People are creatures of character. To a superficial observer, life appears to be a rotation of eating and drinking, toiling, and sleeping. But verily life has a much greater meaning, and a deeper significance. Life is a sacrifice (yajna). Each little act is an offering to the Lord. If the day is spent in deeds performed in this spirit of surrender, what else can sleep be except total immersion in the Godhead (samadhi)?
