BHAKTI YOGA SUTRA (SWAMI SIVANANDA YOGA SUTRAS.3)
RADHE KRISHNA
THE PATH OF DEVOTION-BHAKTI- is the easiest, surest of all the ways for attaining eternal emancipation.Bhakti yoga makes an universal appeal because BHAKTI comes from the heart.Bhakti yoga is suitable for the vast majority.What is wanted is devotion,not erudition.
Cultivate love.
Divine love knows no difference of time,space or person.Divine love is dynamic.
Samvata the gardener,narahari the goldsmith,Chokka the untouchable,Kanhopatra the dancing girl,Jana the maid servant,were all saints.
An aspirant on the path of devotion should have faith,eagerness and capacity (to love).Then alone will he obtain the grace of the LORD.
.Love for the absolute cannot co-exist with love for the world.Love God exclusively with all your heart.You must be absorbed in Him.
