The easy way to attain God is simplicity. Our nature should be straightforward, there is no deceit in our mind and the mind is pure without hypocrisy and deceit. With such nature, God is attained by performing spiritual practice and bhajan in the association of Saints and great divine people who have experienced God.
Therefore, Religion accepts the purity of mind, love, sacrifice and service as the means to attain God. God is straightforward and so is the means to attain him, but at times extreme scholarliness and complicated rituals make it seem harder.
