Bhakti

As regards bhakti [devotion], so far as my inner reading goes, I can safely say that what people generally think to be bhakti is only flattery in the real sense. In fact real bhakti is widely different from flattery. It is simple attachment, strong and irrevocable attachment, to the Divine.
