Desireless

Another day at Jayrambati I asked the Mother, "How can one realize God?—through worship, Japa or meditation?”   

Mother: By none of these.  

Disciple: Then how?   

Mother: God is realized only through His grace. Nonetheless, one must perform Japa and meditation, for they remove the impurities of one's mind. One must practise spiritual disciplines such as worship, Japa, and meditation. As one gets the fragrance of a flower by handling it or the scent of the sandalwood by rubbing it against a stone, similarly one becomes spiritually awakened by continuously contemplating on the Divine. 

But you can become illumined right now, if you become desireless.
