Devotion is the state of mind
in which one has no separate
existence apart from God.
The devotee's very breath is God;
his every act is by God, for God;
his thoughts are of God; his words
are uttered by God, about God.
For, like the fish which can live only in water,
man can live only in God - in peace and happiness.
In other media, he has only fear,
frantic struggle, and failure...
It is only association with the Divine
that can confer value and significance.
The mind too gets illumined, and feels joy,
peace and calm, only because the peace, joy and calm,
which are the native characteristics of God
within are reflected on it.
