Part of God's Family

 

Whatever form of relationship one has with God, whether it be based

on passion, fear, hatred, anger, friendship etc; any form of

relationship can lead to Salvation. The main point is to have a

relationship with God and it will definitely be beneficial.

 

Naradaji has said the following about exclusivity among God's

devotees -

 

" Nasti teshu jaatividhyaroopkuld hankriyadi bhed. " (Narada Bhakti

Sutra 72)

 

" In those devotees there is no distinction due to race, knowledge,

appearance, heritage, wealth and type of work. " (Narada Bhakti Sutra

72)

 

The point is that those devotees that are entirely surrendered to

God; those devotees that have developed oneness with Him; that have

become completely engrossed in God; that have exclusively accepted

their true and essential Self; those that have rather than taking

the gross, subtle and action oriented body in this worldly life and

have gone beyond the many differences, such as race, knowledge, etc,

for them many of the principles do not apply.

 

This is because such a devotee, is only a part of the imperishable

and eternal God. " Yatstdiyaah " (Narada Bhakti Sutra 72); He is not

of the world. Being a part of God, they are considered to be part of

God's family.
