Self Realization

                                         Srimad Bhagavatam

The true devotee of god is compassionate towards all beings.

He is an embodiment of truth.

He looks at everyone with an equal eye and works for the welfare of all.

He is desire less, sweet, pure, kind, free from false ego, serene, temperate and meditative.

He is tranquil, patient and in control of nature.

He knows the difference between good and evil and he performs all karma for me alone.

He offers everything that is dear to him, to god.

He surrenders himself to god unconditionally and serves him alone.

He does not use his knowledge for selfish ends.

He sees god in all and everything and worships as follows:

He worships sun through vedic hymns.

He worships fire through oblations wherein all his sins are consumed.

He worships the saints through hospitality and service.

He worships god’s devotees through cordiality.

He worships god by meditating his image in one’s heart.

He worships air as divine energy and water as symbol of purity.

He worships god in mother earth by chanting the sacred mantras.

He worships the gross body by offering it food and drink.

He worships god through constancy in vision by which he sees god in all.

Thus the devotee lives in god all the time and attains true love for god.

Of all the paths to god the path of love is the most sacred and the best.
