How should one pray to God, and what attitude should a spiritual seeker cultivate to remain blissful? On this sacred Sankranti, Bhagawan blesses us with a beautiful message.

This Sankranti is Prema Sankranti and Ananda Sankranti. Hence, welcome this Sankranti festival. Welcome God who is the embodiment of bliss. God is not satisfied with the appellations like Karunanidhi (treasure house of compassion) and Premaswarupa (Embodiment of love). God is always blissful. You should not pray to God to fulfil your umpteen desires. Just pray: “Oh God! Share Your bliss with me. Make me blissful!“ Never deride God as nirdaya (one without compassion). Whatever God does is for our own good. Even the sorrows and difficulties we experience are for our own good. They are preludes to happiness and bliss. If you cultivate such a positive outlook, you will always be blissful. Share your happiness with all. Contrary to this, man today is keeping happiness to oneself and distributing sorrow to others. This is not what we should do. “Suppress your sorrow and manifest inner joy”– this is the spiritual sadhana one must undertake. When you encounter any difficulty or sorrow, or restlessness, do not mind them at all. Ignore them. You are always embodiments of bliss. If you constantly contemplate this reality, nothing will bother you.
