Jai Sri Baba Lal Ji,
To be in the first row of devotees close to God, it is necessary to be completely free from all distortions of the mind.
Introverted living should be the mainstay of daily life.
The desire to reach the self apart from worldly impulses can be a sure milestone.
A life of truth with the remembrance of God, in whatever His various forms may be, but without any identity conflicts that nourish ego and pride, can help devotees to rejoice in the proximity of God even in the embodied state.
Jai Baba Lal Dayal Ji,
