Realisation of oneness is true knowledge. However, It is not easy to attain Self-realisation. Yet, you should make efforts to experience it. You will reach the goal when you proceed on the prescribed path. You can become a good singer with continuous practice. Even the neem fruit tastes sweet when you keep chewing it. Sandalwood makes a groove on the sandstone when you rub it unceasingly. The more you cut a diamond, the more its value. Anything can be achieved by constant practice. Walking, reading, talking, eating, writing – all require practice. How much you need to practice if you want to ride a motorcycle? You may fall any number of times, but do you give up practising? Unfortunately, you give up your resolve at your first failure on the path of spirituality. In all other endeavours, despite all obstacles, you do not stop your effort. In fact, you should show the same resolve and more on the path of spirituality. Why? Because spirituality leads you to the goal of your life. That is the purpose of human birth!
