In Bhagavad-gita (9.25) the Supreme Personality of Godhead explains:
"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods, those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings, those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors, and those who worship Me will live with Me."
In Bhagavad-gita (9.22-25) the Supreme Personality of Godhead again explains:
"But those who worship Me with devotion, meditating on My transcendental form, to them I carry what they lack and preserve what they have.
"Whatever a man may sacrifice to other gods, O son of Kunti, is really meant for Me alone, but it is offered without true understanding.
"I am the only enjoyer and the only object of sacrifice. Those who do not recognise My true transcendental nature fall down.
"Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods, those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings, those who worship ancestors go to the ancestors, and those who worship Me will live with Me."

Many Chinese and Japanese acupuncturists (possibly out of a desire to “prove” the existence of chi to skeptical Westerners) have invented all sorts of electrical technological gadgetry to monitor the flow of chi through the meridians and to precisely locate the acupuncture points. So although chi cannot be perceived directly, its presence can be detected by a meter that monitors electrical activity.

In Bhagavad-gita (9.30) the Supreme Personality of Godhead again explains:
"Even if one commits the most abominable actions, if he is engaged in devotional service, he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated."
In the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (1.2.60) Srila Rupa Gosvami explains:
"Every man has the birthright to accept devotional service and to become Krsna conscious. This is proved with evidence from many scriptures."
In the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu (1.1.38) Srila Rupa Gosvami again explains:
"Even one drop of happiness in Krsna consciousness stands beyond comparison with an ocean of happiness derived from any other activity."
In the Tantras it is said:
"By cultivating transcendental knowledge one easily attains liberation and by performing yajnas and pious deeds one easily attains sense gratification. However, even after thousands of spiritual struggles it is still very difficult to attain devotion to Lord Hari."
