Devotion is not a mental weakness. Neither is it only the first step, but something like the substratum for attaining the goal.
What we need is peace of mind. We can gain that only through the control of our mind.
Even if we have everything, if there is no mental peace, we cannot lead a happy life.
Praying and singing with a melting heart takes us to the state of Supreme Truth. Crying for God is not a weakness.
The more you give, the more you will have, like an endless spring that flows into the well as you draw water.
Only by understanding what is everlasting and what is transitory can we progress in life without ever losing our mental balance or peace of mind.
The impermanent, which is the body, is given too much importance. The permanent, which is the Atman, is completely forgotten. This should change.
True happiness is when the love within us finds its expression through external activities.
