True Devotion

[Guest guest]

Namaste!

 

In the context of this month's topic, the following will be of

interest to all.

Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamiji explains what true bhakti is in

His inimitable style.

 

For instance:

 

"In fact, you will find that Karma alone can be bhakti and certainly

not the bhajana, if it is inconsistent with or is divorced from

karma."

 

And:

 

"What can be more absurd than dragging down the All-conscious,

Omnipotent Lord to the level of a toy intended for one's

amusements? To conceive of the Lord as an object of pleasure is

sheer profanation, which should never pass off under the name of

devotion. Real devotion lies in carrying out His dictates

implicitly. To disobey Him in action and to profess allegiance in

words is blasphemy. It is not bhakti. By bhakti is meant single-

pointed devotion uniformly expressed in mind, speech and body."
