Develop Your Relationship With god

Let me narrate to you one incident:

I went to a Shiva temple in a remote village in India.

At the entrance of the main deity, there was a tubelight burning.

The light was hardly visible because on it was written in black ink, 'Vishnunathan B.Sc'

I was wondering how Lord Shiva was called 'Vishnunathan'. Then under that I saw in small font written, 'Kailasanathan' – the correct name for Shiva.

'Vishnunathan' was the name of the person who donated the tube light!
(Laughter!)

We are so fearful of missing out on collecting good deeds in our lives, that we become materialistic and start creating bank balances of good deeds for ourselves. And we don't stop at that. We inform god repeatedly about all the good things that we have done so that he doesn't forget! We become so materialistic even when it comes to matters concerning god!

Understand: god is not running a resort in heaven wherein you can get an entry by doing the so-called good things on earth. When you live, you are always trying to do these kinds of material things with no idea or feeling of the Truth behind them. With these things, you build a big castle called punya. Then you expect that castle to stand by you at the time of death.

It is something like this: You build a house in your dream, paint it, decorate it and enjoy it. What happens when you wake up from your dream? Where is the house? Is it of any use to you after you wake up? No! In the same way, you are only deluding yourself by this punya concept. We reduce everything including the Divine to 'simple trade', that's all.
