Maulana, agla sawal aaya hai Delhi se Mr. Rama Katta Swamin ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Guru ji, please tell me how can I become the devotee of the great God?" . dekhiye, is ka jo process hai, woh hai ke God ko aap dekh to sakte nahi hain, kyun ke God jo hai, beyond space and time hai. lekin God ko discover karte hain aap is ke creation mein. yani ek hai creator, ek hai creation. to creator ko aap aankhon se dekh nahin sakte hain, lekin us ke creation mein us ko aap discover kar sakte hain.

to jab aap creation mein sochte hain, creation mein study karte hain, to aap creator ko discover karte hain. aur phir is se aap ko attachment hota hai, is se emotional contact banta hai. aur phir is ko apna, yani sab kuch banane bana bana lete hain aap. to Khuda tak pahunchne ka rasta jo yahi hai. creator tak pahunchne ka rasta, yani creation ke zariye jata hai. Through creation, you can discover God.
