Path to God can only open up for you once you decide to abandon your worldly existence. The precious human body has to be utilized and should be made a mode to achieve your goal to become one with the almighty. As long as earthly desires and aspirations keep afflicting oneself the path to God remains hidden in the mists of ignorance. Path to God is knowledge.

The path to God starts by first believing that there is a God. The second is where it gets tricky-not believing in 3 gods (as in the trinity) or that Jesus is god, or that a rock or a tree is a god. If you take the Jewish, Christian or Islamic faith as your guide, you can agree that in its purist form all three religions believe in the God of Abraham. Muslims call that God Allah. Abraham did not believe that god was the sun, has a son, or is Jesus. Jews rejected Jesus Christ and Mary, however Muslims and Christians both believe in him. The difference as stated, Muslims do not believe that Jesus was God or the son of God. Muslims and Jews beliefs in God are closely connected. These differences can be confusing and I hope not to offend anyone. The bottom line is it is your choice to believe in what you feel is true in your heart and no one has the right to push any particular religion on you. I would advise you that you study history of all three faiths. Open you mind on a mission to seek truths and I pray that God directs your path. I am not here to push my beliefs on you.

Anil,
I always respect what Primoa has to say. I would also like to say that we are called to follow the savior because HE came as our MESSIAH, was sinless, was tortured and murdered by HIS People, and gave HIS LIFE so that we might have an opportunity to be in Heaven. Paul wrote in Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned". The examples given in the book of Acts are our best guide to achieving Heaven. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” There were 3000 Baptized there. We are told in Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." We read in 1 Peter 3:21 "There is also an antitype which now saves us--baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ." It is important that we follow what we are told to do in the New Testament. That is our guide to follow our SAVIOR, the MESSIAH. We have no other way to be saved but through HIM. Have a wonderful week.
Thank YOU,
Eds

God is love and love is God. Universal love is the path to God. I would quote saint Kabir - Pothi parh parh jun mua, pandit bhya naa koy, dhai aakhar prem ke parhe toh pandit hoi ( nobody could reach God without loving heart for everyone).

Accepting Him as your Lord and Savior. You have to recognize that you are a sinner and know that you need to repent and do so. Just ask God to come into your heart and lead you throughout this life and He will. God is always more than willing to accept us into His loving arms, rather or not we love Him.

The answer is in Hinduism.It is a mystical religion, leading the devotee to personally experience the Truth within, finally reaching the pinnacle of consciousness where man and God are one.
Never have there been so many people living on the planet wondering, "What is the real goal, the final purpose, of life?" However, man is blinded by his ignorance and his concern with the externalities of the world. He is caught, enthralled, bound by karma. The ultimate realizations available are beyond his understanding and remain to him obscure, even intellectually. Man's ultimate quest, the final evolutionary frontier, is within man himself. It is the Truth spoken by Vedic rishis as the Self within man, attainable through control of the mind and purification.
It is karma that keeps us from knowing of and reaching life's final goal, yet it is wrong to even call it a goal. It is what is known by the knower to have always existed. It is not a matter of becoming the Self, but of realizing that you never were not the Self. And what is that Self? It is Parasiva. It is God. It is That which is beyond the mind, beyond thought, feeling and emotion, beyond time, form and space. That is what all men are seeking, looking for, longing for. When karma is controlled through yoga and dharma well performed, and the energies are transmuted to their ultimate state, the Vedic Truth of life discovered by the rishis so long ago becomes obvious.
That goal is to realize God Siva in His absolute, or transcendent, state, which when realized is your own ultimate state -- timeless, formless, spaceless Truth. That Truth lies beyond the thinking mind, beyond the feeling nature, beyond action or any movement of the vrittis, the waves of the mind. Being, seeing, this Truth then gives the correct perspective, brings the external realities into perspective. They then are seen as truly unrealities, yet not discarded as such.
This intimate experience must be experienced while in the physical body. One comes back and back again into flesh simply to realize Parasiva. Nothing more. Yet, the Self, or Parasiva, is an experience only after it has been experienced. Yet, it is not an experience at all, but the only possible nonexperience, which registers in its aftermath upon the mind of man. Prior to that, it is a goal. After realization, one thing is lost, the desire for the Self.
The Self, Parasiva, can be realized only when the devotee turns away from the world and enters the cave within as a way of life through initiation and under vows. We know the Self within ourself only when we fully turn into ourselves through concentration, meditation and contemplation and then sustain the resulting samadhi of Satchidananda, pure consciousness, in hopes of finding, determined to find, That which cannot be described, That which was spoken about by the rishis, Parasiva, beyond a stilled mind, Parasiva that has stopped time, transcended space and dissolved all form.

Self-awareness.
The more consciously, intensely we maintain it , the more we evolve into a 'human' being. The more human-ness we evolve into, the deeper the perception levels get. Once we transcend the sensory levels of perception, we have touched the 'point of no return', and then it is just a question of time !
Very best wishes! Let us make it happen !

LOVE without expecting anything from anyone or any sources( Thr real LOVE is with a child from whom we dont get bodily pleasures, material peasures or service assistance- and hence we have to see all others like a child only to give them not to get from others)
