[RamanaMaharshi] Maha Yoga - devotion and the quest

So long as there is division [ vibhakti ] there must be devotion

[bhakti];so long as there is separation [viyoga] there must be a

method ofreunion [yoga]. So long as there is duality there will also

be God and devotee . In the Quest of the Truth also there is duality

till the Source is reached . So too it is in devotion. When God is won

there is no more duality ; nor is He different even now ; for God is

thought in and by theSelf , which proves that He is really one with

the Self. If one that is told to have devotion to God straightaway

does so without further question ,it is all right; he will

automatically become one with God in due course; such a one is the

ripe one.But there is another kind of man who turns round and says :"

There are two,God and I ; before knowing God who is far off , let me

know the closer one ,myself" ; for him the Quest is prescribed

..Really devotion and the quest are the same. "Ramana Maharshi ,from

Maha Yoga by "Who" , chapter : Devotion. [Non-text portions of this
