The most direct route to God is constantly practicing love.
Physical sacrifices and rituals are pointless unless they lead us to a relationship with God through love. I've reflected on this deeply and discovered that the most direct route to Him is constantly practicing love and doing everything for His love.
Many individuals don't progress in their spiritual growth because they become overly focused on rituals and specific practices, overlooking the love of God, which is the real aim. This can be seen in their actions, and it's why we see such a lack of authentic virtue.
Reaching God doesn't require intricate knowledge or skills. What's essential is a heart fully dedicated to focusing solely on Him, acting for His sake, and loving Him alone.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Where do I still cling to rituals without love?
How can I purify my heart and devote myself fully to God?
