No human has ever connected with God with their ego, even people have done good-karms (good deeds) in order to please God, when we do things or try to do Naam-Simran without giving up our ego, we are simply stuck in Maya and doing things to convince ourselves (or others) that we can trying to connect with God. Ridhis and Sidhis (18 powers that are obtained with lots of Simran – which allow us to do miracles) are also a form of Maya, and we can not connect with God through these either (because power equals ego). We can only embed Naam-Simran in our heart via ego-free, selfless sewa; this is when we get rid of darkness of ignorance and immerse in God.

People who haven’t connected with God via Naam-Simran always say wrong things and stay disconnected. But it’s really not in their hand, their actions are results of their past-life Karms (deeds) and nobody can erase their Karm-based-destiny (without God’s blessing).

The Almighty God is amazing because when we connect with him, we get eternal peace, and he blesses us with Bhagti (focused Naam-Simran). God has taught us to not see others as enemies or friends, rather treat everybody equal. I am thankful to God for blessing me Naam-Simran.
