Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do

However you seek God, He responds in kind

Those who believe in reincarnation are taught that they can escape the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth by becoming united with God directly.  This union with God can be accomplished by practicing self-discipline to learn control of the senses, by being free of attachment to fulfilling desires, by disengaging from fear and anger, and by taking refuge in the inner peace which results from doing so.  But, not everyone is born into a family or a culture that teaches reincarnation and the ability to unite directly with God.  Because of the differences in religious and individual beliefs within those religions, people use many paths to find God.  In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna reassures everyone that however people sincerely call on God, He responds to them in the way they worship Him.
