Guest guest Posted August 23, 2001 Report Share Posted August 23, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “In spite of many desires that rise in our mind, Bhakthi should be predominant. One should not pretend to have Bhakthi. In order to please the Guru, or God, you need not imitate Bhakthi. It is a great treasure of strength. Wealth, fame and all kinds of treasures do not equal Bhakthi. Earning Bhakthi and possessing it is a great asset itself. Man is not a man at all without Bhakthi. Such a rare treasure of Bhakthi should be offered to Lord. Bhakthi for the sake of fulfilling the desires may not go a long way. Suppose those desires are partly fulfilled or not at all fulfilled, then the devotees will automatically lose their devotion, as they had tagged a desire to their love."
