Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Devotion: A Fruition of Detachment and Exalted Emotional Experience Devotion to God is not a simple emotion. It is the result of intense vairagya and sattvika bhava. You should possess the good qualities extolled in the Ramayana. Otherwise, emotion may raise you temporarily to a kind of ecstasy, but you cannot experience the Divine Consciousness thereby. Devotion is a fruit which ripens gradually through the processes of self-restraint and virtue. There is no sadhana for Bhagavat-sakshatkara without intense vairagya. Only after detachment from the world of things is it possible to have the attainment of God. Do not allow the mind to think of pleasure centres.
