Divine Message of September 19, 2026

What is total devotion to the Lord? How does it progress? Bhagawan lovingly explains today.

The heart of the devotee flows with love of the Lord through constant remembrance and recitation of His name. Out of this stream of love, devotion emerges. One who is nourished by the nectar of bhakti will have no desire for anything else. To be unaffected by joy or sorrow, gain or loss, praise or blame, and to remain steadfast and unwavering in faith – this is the hallmark of true devotion. Affection, attachment, and desire are natural qualities in man. When these qualities are directed towards God and when one is continuously engaged in good deeds, these qualities acquire purity and sacredness. Then a man becomes not only a great soul but can become divine. The devotee is ever conscious that the universe is a manifestation of the Divine and is permeated by the Divine. His life is based on the recognition of the immanence of God in everything. This state of mind is called Prema Advaitam (unity in Love). Through this love, the devotee experiences his oneness with the Divine. Enjoying the bliss of this experience, the devotee does not even desire moksha. Unremitting love of the Lord is everything for him. Such devotion is known as Ananya-bhakti.
