Bhakti (Devotion)
Devotion atracts Him
Devotion reveals him;
the Lord is influenced by devotion.
Nothing is more powerful than bhakti.
(from the Mathara-Sruti (ancient Hindu text)
What is devotion? It is when we feel divine reality enter our bodies and know that we and it are One. It is the time when we go into that state of being which enables us to feel that which otherwise is hidden from us. It occurs when we know that we have entered sacred presence, and our heart gives thanks, and asks nothing more than to enjoy this moment of precious connection.
Devotion is not praying for "something" that is desired. It is entering into a condition of union with that which is, when we know that nothing more is needed.
