eleven forms of devotional service

[Guest guest]

Although devotional service is one, it becomes manifested in eleven forms of

attachment: attachment to the Lord's glorious qualities, to His beauty, to

worshiping Him, to remembering Him, to serving Him, to reciprocating with

Him as a friend, to caring for Him as a parent, to dealing with Him as a

lover, to surrendering one's whole self to Him, to being absorbed in thought

of Him, and to experiencing separation from Him. This last is the supreme

attachment.
