Being very near to Great Saints/Deities

I read Saisatcharita and also have been following many incidents. It clearly shows that being very near to Great Saints/ or in sanctum sanatorium of GOD does not mean that you are purified totally. The past good deeds take us near to GOD but attaining moksha is our individual effort. GOD provides you an opportunity which everyone is not assured. This is the reason why in spite of being in close proximity of Saibaba many could not get away from their ego.
Although some had the great opportunity to spend maximum time with Saibaba, they behaved differently after his samadhi. They had to be persuaded to part with the belongings or gifts of Saibaba. Their ego did not permit them to believe that Saibaba belongs to the entire Universe.

We also know about the various controversies in different temples in the counttry where the priests were involved in several acts of corruption. The close proximity of the Deity did not stop them from indulging in such unholy acts. This is the reason why we find corruption and greed even in Great temples and other holy places.

Almighty gives a Golden Opportunity to purify our spirits but the bondage we have created around us does not allow us to come out of the material world.HE only brings you close to him physically but being close spiritually is a big task the average human being is unable to handle.If one is spiritually close to HIM attaining Exalted Happiness is Guaranteed and MOKSHA is only a matter of time.
