Thought for today- Real Devotee

[Guest guest]

Those who are not elated with obtaining the desired things, not having any types

of hate at the time of facing hardships by receiving all undesired things, not

having any types of distress at the time of difficulties and dangers, is the

real devotee.

 

Those who left all their auspicious and unfortunate events in life with their

total love only for God, is the real devotee.

 

When mind is with total contentment, your status of rich or poor is immaterial.

 

Certain things which give comforts and satisfaction at one time, may cause

distress and unwanted at other time.

 

Those who are deriving total equality with their balanced approach, by

associating with friends and enemies, accepting all praises and abuses,

receiving of respect and insults, withstanding heat and cold of seasonal

changes, dealing with distress and delight, is the real devotee.

 

--- Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

Jaya Sri Radhe!
