Develop prema (divine love) towards the Lord, the parama-prema (Supreme divine love) of which He is the embodiment. Never give room for doubts and hesitations, or for questions to test the Lord's love. "My troubles have not ended; why? Why is it that He did not speak to me? Why did He not call me?", you whine! Do not think that I do not care for you or that I do not know you. I may not talk to you but do not be under the impression that I have no love. Whatever I do, it is for you, not for Me. For, what is it that can be called Mine? Only you. So, do not get shaken in your mind; do not allow faith to decline. That will only add to the grief you already suffer from. Hold fast - that must be your vow. Whoever is your Ishta Devata (the chosen deity) - Vishnu or Rama or Shiva or Venkateshwara - hold fast to Him. Do not lose the contact and the company; for, it is only when the coal is in contact with the live embers that it can also become a live ember. Cultivate nearness to Me in the heart and you will be rewarded. Then you too will acquire a fraction of the Supreme Prema. This is the great chance.
