The yoga of devotion
Description
"Sri Krishna explains the yoga of devotion to Arjuna. Devotion refers to a state of mind exclusively wedded to the lotus feet of the Lord. While worship of the unmanifest aspect (nirguna) of the Infinite is superior, it is difficult to practise for one embodied with name and form. This is why worship of the manifest aspect (saguna) is recommended. In Kali Yuga, the path of devotion is said to be the most appropriate path to experience God. Devotion combines bhakti and jnana. Sri Ramana Maharishi once said bhakti is the mother of jnana. As the Gita proclaims: ""Those who renounce all actions unto Me, are intent upon Me, they worship Me, meditating with yoga directed to no other/Their minds absorbed in Me, I soon become their deliverer from the ocean of life and death/Settle your mind only upon Me, enter your intellect into Me. Henceforth you will live only in Me/Have no doubt upon this score/" Read more at: https://www.deccanherald.com/content/435466/yoga-devotion.html"
