There is one important consideration about having brain. Either you should be so intelligent that with your own intelligence you will discover that there is a world beyond reach of intelligence or you should be so dumb that you accept whatever a genuine saint tells you and follow him without allowing any doubt to creep into your mind. Both can get to God.
People lying in between create doubts for themselves and for others too and therefore, cannot succeed in attaining God.

Another way to seek God is to become meek. God has one degree.
God is 'Brother of Meek'. (DeenBandhu)

To be meek is not to rely on anyone other than God. Because no one likes meek person and no one accepts such person except God. God is very easily accessible to the meek persons.

The world is after worldly possessions and meek person is devoid of all such possessions. It automatically follows that meek person will not get any support from anyone in this world. And God always supports such persons, who don't even rely on their own strength. Strength of strength-less is God. The condition is you should feel totally strength-less and not rely on anyone else's strength.

Be more humble than a blade of Grass
Be more tolerant than a tree
Never expect respect from others
Give respect to all
Keep on remembering Shri Krishna all the time!
Krishn is your beloved and you are his darling!
