Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam February 18, 2016

What are the characteristics of true devotion? Bhagawan lovingly explains us

today.
Whoever one may be, in whatever condition, if one
gives no room for dispiritedness, if one has no fear at
all, and if one remembers the Lord with unshaken faith
and without any ulterior motive, all suffering and sorrow
will fall away. The Lord will never enquire at any time
the caste to which you belong or the precepts or
traditions that you follow. Devotion doesnt consist in
wearing an ochre cloth, organising festivals, performing
ritual sacrifices, shaving off the hair, carrying water pot
or rod, matting the hair, etc. Instead, the characteristics
of devotion are: a pure mind(anthahkarana), uninterrupted (whatever one may be doing)
contemplation on God, the feeling that everything is the
Lords creation, and therefore a) non-attachment to
sense objects; b) the embracement of all in equal love;
and c) dedication to true speech.
- Prema Vahini, Ch 61

Sathya Sai Baba

True devotion really means installing the Divine in the heart and enjoying the bliss of that
experience. Baba
