Man, what a message that was...

Besides, what is sin for you?

for me sin is basic ignorance and basic ignorance is transformed into

wisdom not exactly and NOT ONLY thru devotion but thru right

understanding and thru love. Devotion is for me, an attitude that we

adopt.

 

There are on earth many persons feeling devotions but acting completely

blinded. You may say, well then that is not true devotion. Perhaps.

 

Hinduism speaks a lot of devotion and practices it, yes. But even

hinduism states that there is a need of personal work to be done in

order to expell those "sins" or "ignorances". Take a look at what Sri

Krishna says to Arjuna here:

 

"-"Devoted- with a heart grown pure, restrained

In lordly self-control, forgoing wiles

Of song and senses, freed from love and hate,

Dwelling 'mid solitudes, in diet spare,

With body, speech, and will tamed to obey,

Ever to holy meditation vowed,

From passions liberate, quit of the Self,

Of arrogance, impatience, anger, pride;

Freed from surroundings, quiet, lacking nought-

Such an one grows to oneness with the BRAHMAN;

Such an one, growing one with BRAHMAN, serene,

Sorrows no more, desires no more; his soul,

Equally loving all that lives, loves well

Me, Who have made them, and attains to Me."

 

In other words, devotion yes, but besides that a bit of personal work

Devotion is fine its perfect but if you grab it, hold it and become blindly

attached to it, it is not devotion anymore but an attachement...
