Sri M - "Devotion has to be spontaneous. It cannot be cultivated. It comes under certain situations and for different people in different ways. Sometimes it happens when you are in close proximity with someone who has experienced the joy of devotion. There are cases where the great teacher Chaitanya Mahaprabhu hugged a man who had no belief in any system and the next day he completely changed and became a devotee. Because after all devotion is kind of anintoxication. The devotee goes through it by love and affection. The Yogi, the vedantin and the bhakta, all of them are in a way are people who are enjoying the joy of communion, with the divine in a very tangible way."
Sri M speaks on the topic, 'How do we meditate?' (the above video is Part 1) in the Public Satsang on Day 2, 15th Sept. 2019 at The Jain Temple in Milpitas, California USA.
