OM
Listen dear brother,
I will explain everything in a nutshell
Those who depend on Me in thought, word and action
(deed) and who worship Me in a selfless way, in lotus heart of those, I
always take repose (rest).
�������������������������������������������� ���������-��
Lord Ram (Ramcharitmanas, Aranya Kanda, Doha No. 16)
The nine forms of Bhakti as told by Lord to Sabri in Aranya Kand are:
- To
live and communicate with saints who are pious in heart and deed.
- To
listen and tell the story and saying of the Lord.
- To
do humble and pride-less service of the lotus feet of one�s preceptor
(Guru).
- To
sing the Lord�s praises with guileless heart.
- To
keep muttering the Lord�s name with unwavering faith.
- To
practice self-control and virtue, desist from manifold activities and
always pursue the course of conduct laid down for the saints.
- To
see the world full of the Lord without distinction and reckon the saints
as even greater than the Lord Himself.
- To
remain content with whatever one gets and never think of finding faults
with others.
- To
be simple, guileless and straight in one�s dealing with everybody &
cherish implicit faith in Lord without either exultation or depression.
Lord Ram tells Sabri that those
who possess even any one out of the 9 forms of Bhakti (devotion), be they
women or men or any creature � sentient or insentient- are very dear to Him.
