Kaliyug (modern era) is the easiest era to attain GOD. Because in this era the goodness has been maligned to a great extent and therefore considering this era as difficult, the means to attain GOD has been simplified.

In Kaliyug the evils have domination and therefore whosoever remains pious reaches GOD. Like a lotus which remains in dirty water but does not imbibe the dirt and remains clean becomes qualified for offering to GOD, similarly, if we live with evils in Kaliyug and do not imbibe them and remain pious we become qualified to attain GOD.

In Satyug (older era) piousness had domination. All were pious and religious. The evils were few therefore the way to attain GOD was difficult. Why was it so? Because all were good and to identify a few goods who had the ability to reach GOD, the process of evaluation was difficult.

But in Kaliyug the evils have domination. To remain pious in a scenario of evil is very difficult. Because the evils easily take us in its fold. To remain in evil and save ourselves from evil is very difficult. Therefore whoever is able to do so, automatically qualifies to reach GOD.

To remain good in evil times is only possible with devotion. Devotion purifies us from within, which is reflected outside in our behavior.

A lively example of this is Shri Vibhishanji. Leaving with evils in Lanka he said to GOD Shree Hanumanji in Sunderkand (RamCharitManas) that he (Vibhishan) is leaving in Lanka with fear like the tongue which lives in between teeth. The tongue has to keep caution that it does not fall in the line with teeth else it will be cut. Likewise, leaving with evils Shri Vibhishanji kept cautious that he does not imbibe evils. What was the reason that Shri Vibhishanji was able to do so ? The only reason was the devotion of GOD through which he kept the piousness alive in him. This was the reason that GOD instantly accepted him when he surrendered to GOD. GOD said to Shri Vibhishanji that you are living a pious life in spite of evils surrounding you and for this very reason you are very dear to Me. GOD crowned him as the king of Lanka. GOD was hesitant and was thinking if He is not giving less to Shri Vibhishanji. GOD took the Shakti (ammunition) on Himself, which Ravan fired on Shri Vibhishanji. See the capability of devotion that because of devotion GOD did not allow a small curse to come on His devotee.

GOD liked the attitude of Shri Vibhishanji who remained pious surrounded by evils. Two principles are established here. The first principle, GOD likes humans with pious nature. The second principle, for remaining pious, the easiest way is devotion.

Therefore, in Kaliyug, we must undertake devotion and take the easiest means to attain GOD. To attain GOD in Kaliyug is very easy. We do not need mortification or any other difficult measures which were extremely necessary for Satyug, Treta and Dwapar (older eras). In Kaliyug the only thing required is devotion.

Devotion is the simplest and the best means in Kaliyug which never fails.

Devotion mainly performs two things. Firstly, it purifies our behavior and lets it remain purified. Secondly, due to it, it qualifies us to attain GOD. GOD met and took Shri Vibhishanji in His shelter only because his behavior was purified.

Our behavior gives us an indication if our devotion is progressing in the right direction. It must be assumed that the more our behavior becomes purified the profound is our devotion.

To reach GOD it is very necessary that we must be purified and devotion does this work automatically. A true devotee automatically imbibes the ornaments of goodness like non-violence, truth, principles and other virtues.

Therefore, in Kaliyug which is the easiest era to attain GOD, we must undertake devotion and try to reach GOD.
