Hindu philosophy
describes some paradoxes we will try to check all of them one by
one.
You can get divine love
through a genuine saint only.
You can get divine love only if
you have detachment.
Divine love is something which needs to be put
into the heart by some one. It is not automatic. The only one who has
access to such love can pour that love into your heart. Only genuine
saints have access to such love and therefore one can get divine love
through a genuine saint only.
Hence the selection of saint is most important of
all. We hear many instances where gullible people are duped by fake
saints. This problem can be tackled only if double check is made with
scriptures regarding accepting someone as genuine saint. Scriptures
are extremely critical about stupid people who accept every saffron
robed person being a genuine saint. Krishn, too issues warning
against such fake saints in Gita.
Make it point that genuine saint must have through
scriptural knowledge. All others without such knowledge must ruled
out and one must not treat them as a genuine saint.
In order to know genuine saint, heart must have
some level of purity, that purity would be gained through constant
remembrance of God, through developing love for God, through calling
him with tearful eyes.
You will notice that few people get attracted to
genuine saints and not all. The reason behind it is the detachment to
this world which arises out of the pure heart. If there is no
detachment you would not be interested to listen to anything that a
genuine saint would prescribe because your mind has more interest in
the worldly affair and these worldly affairs keep your mind fully
occupied and there is no space left for spiritual thoughts.
Hence it is said that
You can get divine
love through a genuine saint only.
You can get divine love only
if you have detachment.
