Serve and worship God, surrender and be humble to Him. Only when you practice these disciplines with faith and perseverance will you succeed. You will definitely have His vision. If you discontinue your sadhana, your progress will stop.
A man used to work hard and save money little by little. Once he counted his money and found that he had one thousand rupees. Overwhelmed with joy, he thought: ‘Why should I work anymore? I have one thousand rupees. That is enough.’ So he gave up his job. This insignificant man had very little ambition. He became puffed up because of that small amount of money and cared for no one. But how long does it take to spend one thousand rupees? The entire amount was gone within a few days. Afflicted, he began to search desperately for another job, going from office to office.
A person who behaves like this will never succeed in spiritual life. One must wait patiently at the door of God, then only will one see Him.
- Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Ramakrishna and His Divine Play, P 397
