(vii) Devotion Bestows Divine Realisation

102. The Lord is own neither through austerities nor through a study

of the Vedas, not even through knowledge nor through action, but

through devotion alone.

103. It is after thousands of births that a liking for Bhakti

(devotion_ develops in the heart of man.

104. Bhakti alone is capable of bestowing Mukti (emancipation).

105. A child in the spiritual life cannot understand the highest ideal

of Vedanta or non-dualism.

106. He must practise Bhakti first and purify his heart and then take

to Vedanta.

107. Among all the means of salvation pre-eminent is devotion.

108. The quest for one's own Reality, the Atman, is called devotion.

109. The way to Truth or God is Love. Love is the only reality in life.

110. Love and Truth are one and the same.

111. Love is the essence of the Real or God.

112. Blessed is he in whose heart is enshrined exclusive devotion to

the Lord.

love.

114. Just as the flower unfolds, so also the heart-centre opens

through daily meditation and practice of divine love.

divine or Prem.

116. Love creates; Love unites; Love transforms.
