Bhakti, In a religious sense, means reverence, or devotion to God. Bhakti marg means the path of devotion, and bhakti yoga means the state of devotion and the practice of devotion to attain union or oneness with god. In a spiritual sense bhakti means intense love for God, which eventually culminates in absorption in God. Bhagavad-Gita is essentially a conversation between Krishna and his devotee Arjun, about liberation and the means to attain it. Lord Krishna repeatedly emphasizes that whoever fixed their minds upon him and remain absorbed in his thoughts is bound to attain him only. According to the Bhagavad-Gita, single minded devotion to God is the surest path to self-realisation. In whatever way a devotee approaches him, he accepts them, for men approach him from all directions. Such souls are rare but dearer to God, who have completely surrendered themselves to him and spend their lives in devotion and continuous contemplation. The mahatmas know how to worship God with undivided mind, as they know him to be Imperishable and the true cause of all beings. Always singing his glories, striving to attain him, with firm determination, prostrating themselves before him, ever established in him, they worship him. A true devotee is never lost to God. He lives in his constant gaze and under his continuous protection. The Lord always takes care of the needs of a pure devotee who is totally lost in pure devotion to him. Pure devotion is the highest form of love to which God responds with unconditional love and immediate attention. Those who worship God with single minded devotion are speedily rescued from the ocean of mortal existence. A man should live in God, with his mind and intelligence fixed in him, to attain him. If devotion with concentration of mind is not possible, then one should practice concentration. If that is also not possible then one should take refuge in him and renounce all fruits of actions! 🕉📿🕉
