Earth is sun's satellite. It constantly orbits around the sun. It takes one year to complete one such revolution. This movement of earth around the sun is essential for the healthy functioning of life on earth. If earth did not revolve around the sun, its existence would have no meaning, and life would come to an end. This is a practical example of how we should lead our lives in this world. This example is indeed a physical demonstration that shows how man's life must revolve around God, just as earth revolves around the sun. This is a God-oriented life.

God-oriented living means that all of man's activities should be based on God. The earth revolves as compelled to by the laws of nature. But man, of his own free will, should surrender to God. God-oriented life begins with the discovery of God. When individuals, whether men or women, discover God, it means that they have found the truth. And this truth pervades their whole being. This feeling of having discovered the truth becomes such a thrilling experience that it fills them with an everlasting conviction. This everlasting conviction removes all frustrations from their lives. In such a situation, losses are no longer such, for, in spite of them, they never lose the feeling that their greatest asset, i.e. God, is still with them. He should build a life, which is based on the concept of God. This consciousness is the real ascension of man. In this consciousness lies the secret of all success. God-oriented life for man starts by his remembering God. He begins to feel the presence of God. Everything serves to remind him of God. God's remembrance is never absent from his heart and mind. His mornings and evenings are spent as if he is living in God's neighbourhood. Just as rain replenishes the crops, so does he remain ever immersed in the remembrance of God. Spirituality makes man God-oriented. This is what makes a spiritual person unassailable. A spiritual person enters into such profound communion with God that he becomes far more powerful than even the sun and the moon and the mountains and the seas.
