If you constantly contemplate on God, you can forget your sorrows and difficulties and experience divine bliss. Since ancient times, devotees have experienced bliss by constant contemplation on God and shared their experiences with the world.
This should be True, right ?

Maybe but some people find bliss by eating poop. Is bliss the meaning of life?
I don't think so.
Besides how can you improve your life or anyone elses if you concentrate only on God? Don't we have a duty to improve the world around us? You only help yourself if you sit under the tree of tranquility. Does God want us to only love Him/Her, neglecting ourselves? Neglecting our "brothers and sisters"? No, that is not what God wants.
So, what improves our world more contemplation or serving in the soup kitchen? I say forget contemplation man. It's action that saves the world. Get out there and get your hands dirty!

constantly contemplating on God will not necessarily give you divine bliss it may lead you to more suffering...then what...are you going to deny God, so that you can end the suffering and return to bliss...so i guess the question is do you want God or do you want bliss...perhaps you can get both perhaps not

Absolute surrender is the mantra. That is a difficult part. One has to be Arjuna or a gopi. But it is seen that most of us are Duryodhana, with hyper egos.
