The external ambience acts like an encouraging factor for our devotional sentiment but its foundation lies in our own keenness to meet Him.

Like all the other realized souls, Swami Vivekananda too has said that we need not try to bind God by languages, dress codes etc rather we need to recognize the Supreme Being by building a personal bond with Him. He is formless but readily takes up various forms as per the notions of His different devotees.

The habit of freely talking to God makes us feel directly connected to Him. Such type of informal conversation involves the mind for a longer period than the formal mode of worshiping Him.

The spiritual practices like chanting Lord’s name, singing His glories, reading sacred text, reciting prayers, listening to His pastimes and attending spiritual discourses are highly essential to foster our keenness for Him. It is like learning ‘A’ by referring to an ‘Apple’ but the intended thing is 'A' not the apple. Similarly, our hearts must crave to actually realize Him and not be contented with His references only.

It is our own wishes which disturb us and more than that we expect others to live as per our standards. We must always remember that each individual has its own lot to face and hence there is no need to be over concerned for anybody. Moreover, if we sincerely submit to God's arrangement, every occurrence will progressively lead us towards Him i.e. joureny of life will get enrouted through 'Govind ki Galiyan.'
