God is one such sublime force that is neither visible to the eyes nor can be perceived through other senses. Realization of God is also beyond the grasp of the human intellect. So people normally are oblivious of God. Though generally speaking, we all know about God and believe in Him, we listen and read about Him regularly as well, but such a belief is like a pale shadow consigned to some corner of our mind. This sort of belief does not fulfill the purpose of faith in divinity. To thwart impure thoughts and control our propensity to impure deeds, a clear memory of God must always be imprinted on our heart and we must remember Him as we remember our family and close relatives. Otherwise our mind would not receive the inspiring radiance of the Almighty and would have no fear of His disciplines.

The purpose of faith in God is fulfilled only when we can experience God as our companion. At the occurrence of an impure thought or an inclination to impure deed, if God presents Himself to us in the form of a preacher, a judge or a police officer, only then it would be possible to check our steps from following wrong paths. When a desire to follow a righteous path arises but there is hesitation seeing the obstacles ahead, then God's presence must be felt as one that always encourages, motivates and supports us. A man who is with a high-spirited, constantly encouraging and cooperating companion can accomplish a lot. And if this encouragement to raze through all the impediments present on the righteous path comes directly from God to man, then there is nothing that a man cannot accomplish.

If God's enduring image constantly floats in front of our eyes and if His invisible power shows up to us in a living form only then it is possible for our mind to follow the path of righteousness unyieldingly, renouncing all sinfulness. God's worship alone can lead us to this immense experience and intrinsic feeling that He, the invisible Supreme Self, is a visible friend and a true companion. The devotional practices of chanting, meditation, prayers, offerings etc have been created so that with earnest efforts man remembers God again and again, and experiences Him in the form of a close relative, a family member, a friend and as a companion always. Worship can fulfill this psychological need. By remembering each other again and again, if two bereft lovers can feel each other's presence right in their hearts, then why can't God be experienced like a dear one by constant remembrance through the depths of the heart? If we can experience God as a beloved one always living with us then it would be so easy to stay away from sins and to engage ourselves in righteous deeds. We would also remain courageous, free from worries, optimistic and spirited. Why would one, who has power of God with him, be afraid of anyone? What would be left to cause him worries, fears, sorrows, or despair? Why wouldn't he see his future bright and his destiny radiant? Such a person can remain happy, content and cheerful always, considering adverse circumstances as transient and have arisen to teach him a lesson or two to correct himself. When God Himself is True, Benevolent, Blissful and Beautiful, why would His worshipper be any different?
