      Path of Devotion - Ram Das

      DEVOTION

      Blessed are those who have devotion in their hearts. It is the only reality in this world, other things are false. Live a pure, holy life; be bold and fearless. Never mind if thousands fall before you; still stand firmly and never give up. Truly what a great thing it is to have love and devotion! Devotion is the only thing that can make one happy. True devotion has wonderful power. Through it a devotee can bring out divinity even from a stone. It is a living force and can give life to a dead body. They are indeed very happy who have naturally this devotion for the Lord.

      You know What Sri Rama krishna says that the goal can be attained very easily through the Power of faith and devotion, and Never through the power of reasoning

      IT IS THE TRUE DEVOTION that brings God-vision to us. No one can reach Him through mere intellect; nor even by the practices of Yoga or different kinds of hardships. This is the word of the Lord. He is to be attained by true and pure love, unselfish and one-pointed love. God is free. He is not bound by any law. Still He says, I remain bound to my devotees. As a great Saviour declared, "God is love and love holy and Divine.

      When this kind of love awakens, one becomes free from worldly ties. But we must not give up hope because it is hard. However hard it may be from the standpoint of the world, still it must be realized. Without it the heart is but a barren ground. This is our life and this is the only reality in this world. And it is not at all hard for a sincere and true devotee, because his heart is made of love and naturally Rows towards the Lord. Have intense faith in Him, then you will be free from all anxieties. He will bless yon and protect you from all evils. . Always keep your eyes fixed on Him and pray with childlike simplicity. Do not mind anything. Never be discouraged or disheartened, but live always cheerfully. Then through the blessings of the Lord you "will rest in peace and bliss.

      IF YOU WANT TO BE A true devotee, you must be above all worldly thoughts and deeds. N o earthly condition should ever disturb your peace. Be pure, spotless, unselfish, with an all-loving broad heart'. Never claim to be great, but look upon yourself as a humble servant of the Most High, and stand always ready for the service, without thought of danger. Remember that to meet even a violent and untimely death thinking of God and leading a true life is blessed; while to live otherwise even in comfort and prosperity will only take you away from your Ideal and that is the greatest curse. Be always watch and never
