Man of Devotion is a man of excellence.
Devotion is the energy with which man faces the various facets of life. It is not merely an energy but also an inspirational. It propels man to reach heights unscaled till then. It gives man tireless zeal and unceasing hope.
It has a way of finding likeminded people so that the wise man does not suffer from pangs of desperate loneliness.
Of course it has its moments of seeming decline, but very soon it recovers from temporary setbacks. It is here that good company plays a big role. Good company is God-reminding company.
Devotion is the link between the maker and the made. It never lets man fear or tremble. It gives strength to the timid, hope for the hopeless, cheer for the cheerless. It is beacon light to those who need a path in life. It is infectious as if spreads far and wide. Lord Krishna, in the Gita constantly assures Arjuna, that he who has devotion will never come to ill.
Devotion is the fragrance of the flower of life. It is necessary to believe in the Lord and that too without any reservation . To believe . Constantly ; Continuously, Consistently and Courageously and Courageously. Faith springs from the inner depths of oneself. It si a rare combination of brain and heart . it is a lovely amalgamation of thought and feelings.
It encompasses belief in the maker and concern for the creatures. It excludes hatred. It excludes hatred from life because hatred is negative Hatred is born out of Supreme Selfishness. It is emotional cancer. It kills your appetite and spoils your sleep
Devotion is postie , it make you grow while hatred stuns your growth . it brings out the best in you. The man of faith is a man of excellence. It is for better living here and salvation thereafter. Faith is the anchor in the storm beaten condition of life. It give life a support. A substance. A source of energy
Devotion is a shield. It protects man from external and internal enemies too. It raises man to divine heights. It adds charm to the person. It creates a new confidence in man which lights up the very personality of man . He radiates delight wherever he goes. He befriend all and hates none . he carried the torch of wisdom and solves many a problem.
Devotion give man strength in his lonely moments . man realises that he is not alone. In every movement he sees the hand of God. In every word the breath of His grace. He slowly realises that a greater power than himself is at work.
Devotion give meaning to life and sets fresh goals for man to achieve. Those who have the Lord with them need not worry about anything . Success is a foregone conclusion for them. They win every battle because their minds are pure and intention unsullied .Their dedication to virtues and values gives them strength to survive every storm. They sae themselves and those who depend on them.
When you are young you do a lot of wishful thinking. Later when you are old you do a lot of thoughtful wishing.
Quote from The true charm and power of Vedanta
The Gods were not content only by getting the most precious gems nor were they stricken with fear by the fearful poison (during the churning of the ocean) They did not desist (from the act of churning) until they got the (immortal) nectar. Similarly the self-composed men do not cease from their effort until they get hold of their desired objective.
Forbearance, endurance, self-control,
non-stealing (i.e non –acceptance of things no one’s own), purity, control of
the senses, intelligence, learning , absence of anger and (adherence to)truth,
these are the ten characteristics of virtue (Dharma)
