[A question by Ms. Amudha]
Swami replied: Study about the personality of God. It will create attraction in your mind towards Him in a natural way, without the aspiration for any fruit in return. Spiritual knowledge is nothing but the study of the personality of God for this very purpose. Of course, apart from studying the personality of God, you must have knowledge about yourself that you are not God already. You should also have knowledge about the true path to attain the love of God. For that, you must possess true love for God. This love for God is theoretical devotion. It must be proved to be true by practical devotion consisting of service and sacrifice done without the aspiration for any fruit in return. One’s love for God must be true and aspiration-free just like the love of parents towards their children.
