The sweetness of devotion is to be experienced to be believed. Not only do we enjoy the peace and bliss of devotion but we feel anchored in security. Nobody can shake us if we are devoted to God. The path of devotion is sweet; the goal of devotion also is sweet. It is a primrose path where every inch beams with the brightness of the goal.
Meera and Annamayya, Vivekananda and Bharata have been devotees. They are able to experience the ecstasies of devotion. The thrill of divinity is ever in them. They seek nothing except God. They see nothing but God. They enjoy nothing but God. They see God in all, enjoy God in all. For them God is all in all.
Blessed are the devoted, for they shall have the kingdom of God always in their hearts.
"There is another way: earnestly praying to God. God is our very own. We should say to Him: "O God, what is Thy nature? Reveal Thyself to me. Thou must show Thyself to me; for why else hast Thou created me? " Some Sikh devotees once said to me, "God is full of compassion. " I said: "But why should we call Him compassionate? He is our Creator. What is there to be wondered at if He is kind to us? Parents bring up their children. Do you call that an act of kindness? They must act that way ". Therefore we should force our demands on God."--- Sri Ramakrishna
