The search for God.

A small village called Rampur. A maharaja was present in this village. Maharaj's name is Devashankar. He travels from village to village with the intention of converting people to the path of religion, and gives discourses. Devashankar Maharaj chose to live by the river. As soon as the news of Maharaj's arrival was heard, the villagers started gathering there. Devashankar Maharaj morning evening. Arranged a program of giving lectures on Dharma, doing Bhajan Kirtan. The villagers come to listen to the discourse of the Maharaja, as much as possible at Dandakshina's house. Devashankar Maharaj's speech was full of sincerity, truthfulness and sattvic spirit. That is why the villagers worshiped him.

Once Maharaj was resting. Then a young man came there. The young man bowed to Maharaj and sat there, then said, 'Maharaj, you say every day that God is everywhere, so I longed to see God. I have made pilgrimages to Chare Dham, how many others have made pilgrimages, performed Homhavan, read religious books but ... but I did not see God anywhere .. then on the advice of an elder I built temples, stopped worship there, Aarti but ... success Not found. '

"Who said that pilgrimages, reading of religious books and homecoming are necessary to see God?" Maharaj spoke. 'I have listened to the discourses of scholars, pundits, maharajas. I have also discussed with them. They all told me that by walking in a religious way, doing Jatra, Homhavan, Mantra Japa, God is definitely achieved. ' The young man spoke. 'The way you do religious activities is a very good thing. But at the same time serving the parents, feeding the hungry to alleviate the suffering, serving the sick, helping the helpless, recognizing the whole suffering of the helpless, which of these have you done? ' Maharaj spoke. So much time has passed in Jatras that who had the time to do all this? Besides, for all these, there are old age homes, children's homes, widows 'houses, orphanages, food courts, everything is true ... if you say so, let me send money there.'

'The day you learn to read someone's painful eyes, and to recognize a sad heart, the day you need God.

The young man stood prostrate and kept thinking, 'I have not done what I should have done to inhabit God ... Today the Maharaja opened my eyes. God has shown the right way to live. Now I will walk that path. '
