There is nothing greater on earth than love. Anything can be accomplished through love. Therefore, make every effort to promote love. True devotion consists in offering all your thoughts and actions to God and yearning for His grace. Bhakti has been described as a state of non-separation from God. Regardless of time, space or circumstance, one should feel closeness to God – that is true devotion (Bhakti). Devotion confined to a brief spell in the puja room or temple is not true devotion. During that time, devotion seems to swell within you and you feel at peace but, once outside, the peace is lost and anger takes its place. This cannot be called devotion. True devotion transcends the limitations imposed by one’s daily routines and the obligations of life. Love for the Divine should be present in any situation. Strive to cultivate such love and experience the joy of sharing it with others.
