The direct path to God

Sri Swami Vishwananda is talking about the importance of surrendering to God, which will lead us directly to Him:

Let's say you want to go to a destination and there is a direct bus to your destination and a bus which stops everywhere. Which one would you take? The express one. Isn´t it? (people: “Yes.”) But how would you take the express one? Only by surrendering to God. If you choose to take the one which stops at every busstop, of course you will reach late! You will reach your destination, it doesn't mean that you will not reach your destination; you will reach your destination, but with longer time.
