The greatest illusion we have is the belief that god will come before us for simple prayers we do and also it is very easy to reach god. I know many teachers of the modern era who simply tell reaching god through effortleness is easy. Just see the contrast to become rich one has to work hard, to become successful in any field one needs to work hard. Take the case of film actress and directors who work very hard for hours together and days together to reach the field. Even after reaching huge success bill gates will need to work harder than others.

Basically reaching god is tough. If making money requires so much of hard work how about reaching god. It is highest goal of life. It is the greatest achievement which is considered as the most precious gift of life. How come reaching god will be very easy just like that. It will be tougher, because the whole universe, maya and shakthi will allow you to have any thing other than god.

In the scriptures if the rakahas and the great rishis have to do tapasaya for so many years then how come it will be easy for us.

Do not believe in any teacher who says reaching god is easy and doing sadhana is very simple.

Take the case of the great Buddha, the great chirst if they were tested in life till the last moment of their sadhana how about mortals like us. The world of illusion is nothing but distraction and temptation which will take us away from god.

My teacher used to say if you choose god then let go of the world. If you choose world then let go of the god. Sure enough he let go of every thing. People quote ramakrishnan he was highly matured before he got married itself. Then if it was easy he would asked all his disciples to get married.

Life is extremes we can not have best both of the worlds. God if it is hobby accept it. God must be passion then also enligtment is tough. buddha had to do sadhana for six years , the great milarepa for 16 years etc .

People quote the great bhagawan ramana with out understanding that what is true for a spiritual genius is never true for a mortal. Take the case of sachin  or micheal schummaer how people can play cricket like sachin or drive car like schumaker. Similarly reaching god is tough and requires tremendous energy, focus, attention and hard work.
