Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Dear Nanda and group, Shree Maa asks,"What is devotion?" to me.....this is a beautiful answer: Swamiji..... "Another very beautiful term for humility in Sanskrit is Vinamrata: a state of continuous bowing." For me, the aspiration of Devotion is exactly this: Vinamrata: to be in a state of continuous bowing to the wonder of manifestation. It has the quality of awe, the quality of worship,The quality of one- pointedness, the quality of careful attention,the quality of respect, the quality of gratitude,the quality of purity, the quality of gentleness and, most of all, the quality of infinite Love. I always think of Lord Hanuman...his playfulness, his strength, his sweetness, his brilliance, bravery,humility, intelligence, "human- ness"...all of his wonderful and uncountable qualities ...placed at the feet of his beloved Lord Rama with fully focused attention...nothing else mattered, nothing else was seen...just Lord Rama.To me, this is Devotion.....a state of continuous bowing. sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
