Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 What are the qualities of a true devotee? The first of these is desirelessness (Anapeksha). A true devoteeshould not have desires. But, is it possible for you, endowed as you are witha body, mind and senses, to be without desires? One is bound to have somedesire or the other. On the one hand, there are desires pertaining to thesenses that confer momentary joy. On the other hand, there is a desire totranscend the senses. Thus, people are filled with many desires. So what isneeded to lead a desire-free life? There is nothing wrong in having desires,but all of them must be pleasing to God. You should practise the eternalprinciples based on Truth, and dedicate all your activities to God. Lead yourlife without the feelings of 'I' and 'mine' and offer everything to God. Onlythen can you attain the state of desirelessness. (True Devotees will never ask the question "Am I Right Or Not") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
