"One who worships Me, giving up all his activities unto Me and being devoted to Me without deviation, and always meditating upon Me, for him I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death. Just fix your mind upon Me, and engage all your intelligence in Me. Thus you will live in Me always, without a doubt." ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฟDevotion is the key. The one who is always engaged in worship with great faith, is considered by God as his perfect child. In pure devotional service one comes to the realisation that God is great and that the individual soul is subordinate to Him. His duty is to render service to the Lord, if not, then he will be caught up in illusions and render service to Maya. One should fix his mind fully on God in order to achieve Him, and work only for HIM. It does not matter in what kind of work one engages. That is the standard of devotional service. The true devotee does not desire any achievement other than pleasing the god. His life's mission is to please him and him alone. Those who are advanced in bhakti can wilfully transfer the soul to wherever they like by the process of Bhakti yoga. As far as the true devotee is concerned, the Lord Himself takes him. He does not need to wait to become very experienced in order to attain him. Just like a father takes care of his child, Similarly a true devotee does not need to endeavour to transfer himself by yoga practice to other world. Rather, lord himself delivers him from this material existence. One simply has to keep chanting his name and fully engage himself in devotional service. One who is devoted to god can attain all the benefits derived from other yogic practices, rituals, sacrifices, charities and yagnas. That is the specific benediction of Bhakti yoga. Simply by chanting his name one can reach God easily, because when we do what we can, God will do what we can't!! Hari Om Tat Sat ~ Om Namo Narayana ~Om Namah Shivaya!! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
