Articles: Devotion | Key to lasting bliss
- Mr. Venkata Ramanamurty Mallajosyula

Some seek jobs, others wealth and so on. They are content to take objects of their choice. But no one asks the question : 'Swami! If I take away one thing or another, what is it that I gain? If You become mine all these will become mine'. When you have entered the Cosmic exhibition, you must seek the Divine. Then, the whole universe becomes yours. You must seek that which is lasting and unchanging. There is no meaning in going after one thing after another. There is no end to that process. There is no satisfaction in that. What you acquire today, loses its charm the next day and you desire something new. But once the Divine is att ained, all things are obtained.
In the cosmic exhibition, you are seeing, hearing and experiencing innumerable things. You experience depression, confusion and disappointment. You have no contentment. 'Asantrupto nijo nashtah.' (Lack of contentment is the true loss). The man who is not content is continually experiencing loss.
There is no limit to desires. One feels hungry, another is thirsty. If the thirsty man is offered water, he is not satisfied, he wants a cool drink. When he is given a cool drink, he is not satisfied, he wants icecream. And so on. He is not satisfied with anything.
There is no end to desires for material things in the world. To get rid of these desires, man must turn his mind towards God. That is the way to achieve contentment and lasting bliss.
