Scripture: The Bhagavad Gita 7:16 - 7:18

Good people come to worship me for different reasons.  Some come to the spiritual life because of suffering, some in order to understand life; some come through a desire to achieve life's purpose, and some come who are men and women of wisdom. 
Unwavering in devotion,always united with me, the man or woman of wisdom surpasses all the others.  To them I am the dearest beloved, and they are very dear to me. 
All those who follow the spiritual path are blessed.  But the wise who are always established in union, for whom there is no higher goal than me, may be regarded as my very Self.

    There are different reasons why people turn to God.  Some have to suffer, sometimes called "The Dark Night of the Soul", to awaken their spiritual side.  Some out of intellectual curiosity more than spirituality.  Some out of wisdom.
The ones who turn to God out of wisdom are already ahead of their brothers and sisters because they all ready know there is nothing greater than developing their spiritual self and no greater goal than achieving oneness with God and becoming a true co-creator.

The last time I posted a quote from The Bhagavad Gita, I recieved a comment with a link to a website for more about it.  Since few readers go back and look at old comments, I'll post it here:
