Devotion

"Rowing a boat against the current is difficult, but if there is a sail it becomes easy. Love for God is like a sail that helps the boat go forward."

"Those who meditate only according to a timetable, as if it were a duty, will never see God. You have to cry for God day and night, with no thoughts of food or sleep. Only those who have done so have realised God."

"Devotion, like tincture used for cleaning a wound, purifies the mind."

"Those who are thirsting for God do not like to talk about anything but God, even when great sorrow befalls them."

"Our knowledge of wisdom is limited to words; to bring it into our experience is possible only though devotion."

"Simple rice-gruel is agreeable to everyone's health. Those who suffer from indigestion or other illnesses cannot eat other types of food. The path of devotion is like that. It suits everyone."

"Forgetting God in times of happiness and remembering Him only in times of sorrow is not a sign of true devotion."

"If you cannot find free time to spare for acts of worship, try to be like the Gopis. They were continuously thinking of God while immersed in their work."
