We all know that our mind remains obsessed with the thoughts about our dear ones. The word 'dear' implies somebody whose glance calms the eyes, whose voice gratifies the ears, whose touch soothes the body, whose name tastes sweet to tongue, whose nearness enchants us and above all, whose memories are pleasing to the soul. So we just need to passionately wish that God becomes dear to us and rest happens own its own. If He blesses us with this kind of sacred sentiment, then all our ordinary activities 'effortlessly' strat revolving around Him only. The example of Gopis can be illustrated here. Lord Krishna ignited the flame of His love in their hearts due to which they could think of nothing else than Him while their physical bodies would remain busy in the household chores. Moreover, contemplation on God surely makes us see Him and His Sight has its best reward of restoring the seeker to his natural state of being (sehaj awastha) i.e. accepting life just as it comes and feeling blissful in every type of situation. Practically, constant remembrance of God has little to do with ritualistic worshiping rather it is about recollecting the fact that this whole creation belongs to my beloved God and hence no creature can deserve my bitterness. On that basis, not having animosity against anybody and cheerful acceptance of everything in His Name signify a high-class spiritual life.
