God is yours, so devote yourself to Him


Who is dear to God? One who is devoted to God is dear to God. Sri Radharani was a Gopi who was most near to Lord Krishna’s heart. Sri Radharani's devotion and dedication towards Lord Sri Krishna was complete that is the reason that she was most dear to Lord Krishna. Sri Radharani was always full of devotion towards the Sri Krishna & never thought of anyone besides Lord Krishna.

Similarly if our devotion towards the God is complete then there is no reason that God shall not be with you. God says in Bhagwat Gita:

"ananya-cetah satatam
yo mam smarati nityasah
tasyaham sulabhah partha
nitya-yuktasya yoginah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Eight verse 14)

"Lord Sri Krishna says: Whosoever, always & constantly remembers Me with undivided mind; by that person, I am easy to obtain, O Arjuna, because of his constant engagement in the devotional service to Me."

O
ther than devotion towards the God, let's chant Lord's name as God is always present in His name. Chanting Lord's name is the biggest sacrifice as described by Bhagwat Gita & it purifies oneself:

"maharsinam bhrgur aham
giram asmy ekam aksharam
yajnanam japa-yajno ’smi
sthavaranam himalayah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Ten verse 25)
"Sri Krishna said: Of the great sages I am Bhrigu; of vibrations I am the transcendental Om. Of sacrifices I am the chanting of the holy names [Japa], and of immovable things I am the Himalayas."
Below is a beautiful video "Hari Bhazan" which too says that we should be devoted to God as God is ours only. Enjoy the beautiful Bhazan.
