Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 PATHS OF DEVOTION Contd........ Atma Nivedana, i. e., the annihilation of the self or ego and achieving unity with God. This is the crowning glory of devotional life. Though there are several ways to gain this unity with God, the best means is through constant meditation on pure ideas about God. Impure ideas are got rid of. Then dualism yields to the dawn of advaitic experience. Through this intuitive perception the Sadhaka is drawn towards God with magnetic fascination. Every moment of his life he will feel the compelling and dominating influence of God and will ultimately merge in Him. Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi was one such saint who lived in holy communion with God every moment of his life. May he inspire us to tread this righteous path of devotion with concentrated vigour fearless integrity and dauntless Om Shanti! Shanti!! Shantihi Saint Sayings When you undertake anything, carry it out thoroughly or do not undertake it. Fate is more powerful than human effort. Ambition destroys the understanding of men Where there is Dharma, there sorely will be Victory A heart full of hate can know no contentment. Hate is a cruel fire. Not by studying any sastra does mart become wise. It is by association with the great in Wisdom that he gets-wisdom. Courage is man’s salvation in danger. H. H.
