Someone may ask, "Is it possible to laugh and eat dry powdered grain at the same time?" It is certainly possible to cary out all the functions in the worldly affairs and love the God, if we consider God to be more important than our own lives and love Him with heart and sincerity. Worldly affairs will continue to be done as such and our work will also be accomplished. We are not running away anywhere. We will stay put where we are presently. All we need to do is direct attention of our chitta (ચિત્ત), heart, mind and all vrutties from the other side towards this side. When we love something a lot than it does not take any time to change our mind, stabilize chitta and express our feeling of love and emotions from the heart. This is our daily experience. You love your husband and does it take any time to bring your attention to him with mind, chitta, heart? You experience happiness at that time! Do you have to work hard for that? If we develop love and affection for God then such hard and laborious work is not needed.
