Gist: However you are, God loves you. God cannot be attained by abilities, only by our deep longing and calling out to Him. Do not pay attention to yourself. A true and great devotee's attention is only on God.
True Devotees Attention is Only on God
Question: How can we become more deserving to receive His grace?
A child is carefree about how he is. However he is, whether good or bad, his mother will love him. It is the same with God. If He loved us only if we were good, only if we were perfect, then how can He be called merciful or compassionate? If we have money then only someone will give us a thing, then what is the big deal about what they are doing? However a child is, even if he is covered in dirt, he feels he rightfully belongs to his mother and places his filthy self on the mother's lap and the mother ever if dressed in new, clean clothes simply takes him in her lap.
The main point is that if by our abilities we can attain God, then in His attainment, we have to have abilities greater than Him. This is not possible. All that a child can do is cry to gain his mother's attention. He cannot become deserving of her love. Therefore, why to ask about becoming deserving? Why not simply ask for God? Why go around about way that is a longer path? Why not go straight to the source?
A crucial point is, do not pay attention to yourself. Only pay attention towards God. The minute you look towards yourself, you will fall. The true and greatest devotees attention is only on God. "Hari bina rahyo re ne jai." He cannot live without God. Therefore remember Him at all times and become intensely agitated when you forget Him.
