Guest guest Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 67.. Devotion should have dedication One may claim to have surrendered all his wealth, power and position to God. But, when one truly surrenders, one realizes one's relationship with God saying, "I am in You, You are in me." The sense of separation between God and the individual should vanish. Devotion does not consist merely in offering worship in various ways. It means offering oneself to the Lord with dedication and unsullied love. You have come from the Divine who is the embodiment of love.. Hence, base your life on that love. When Bhaktas (devotees) pray to Bhagawan (God) sincerely making all their actions as offering to God, they will certainly receive appropriate grace from the Divine. There are nine types of devotion. Shravanam (listening to the glory of the Lord), Keerthanam (singing), Vishnusmaranam (remembering), Padasevanam (adoration), Vandanam (saluting), Archanam (worshipping), Dasyam (obedient service), Sneham (friendship) and Atmanivedanam (self-surrender). In whichever way you offer worship, God responds in the same way. When you surrender all your actions, you will surely receive His Grace.
