To obtain Bhakti, seek the company of holy men who have Bhakti, and read books like the Gita and the Imitation of Christ; always think of the attributes of God.(Notes taken down in Madras 1892-1893)
Bhakti is a higher thing higher than even desiring heaven. The idea of heaven is of a place of intensified enjoyment. How can that be God?
(Notes from a lecture On Bhakti Yoga)
Bhakti-Yoga is the path of systematised devotion for the attainment of union with the Absolute. It is the easiest and surest path to religion or realisation.
When love to God is revealed and is all, this world appears like a drop..........Swami Vivekananda
