Question: How can one have unswerving devotion for God that is there

at all the times ?

 

Answer: One way to have unswerving devotion (avyabhichaari bhakti)

that is there at all times, is if we entrust everything to God.

 

When one follows these five golden principles (panchamrit) , devotion

becomes very simple. These five principles show the Art of Living in

this world. They are -

 

1) We are only God's

2) Residing, in His kingdom only

3) Doing His (good and auspicious) work only

4) Receiving only His offerings

5) With the offerings (prasad) received from God, serving only His

family.

 

So what it the main essence ? It is small, simple but yet very

powerful. I am God's and I am no one else's. And everything is God's.

So when everything is God's, what do we do? Simply enjoy! There is no

more work remaining to be done for us. Only God's work is to be done,

and reciting His name, contemplation on Him, hearing about His

pastimes etc.

 

Does any work remain to be done? Think about it. Only work remaining

is God's work, since He is the master of this entire Universe. Why is

it so difficult to offer at the lotus feet of our Master what already

belongs to Him? We claim these things are ours. But for how long will

they remain ours? At the end they will be only God's. Therefore while

living itself, with a true heart, entrust everything back to God,

then you will live in joy.

 

These five golden principles are real and genuine. From today let us

take hold of these principles. " Sarva bhavena maam bhajati " and with

complete feelings (bhava) and with our entire being worship only God.

With all intentions, purpose and feelings, if we are doing only God's

work, it will become unswerving devotion (avyabhichaari bhakti).
