Devotion To God - Bhati Yoga

'How to get rid of Egoism and a Sense of Mine '

(God / Brahman working with Vatsa Sridatta)



From the standpoint of Discipline of Knowledge;

Every human-being has the knowledge that ' I am '.  ' I ' is a fragment of nature and 'Am' denotes 'reality' (Eternal Existence). This 'am' is used with ' I '.
In the absence of ' I ', ' am ' will not stand; only ' I ' will remain.

' I am ' , ' you are ' , ' this is ' and ' that is ' ...- all these four, are in respect of individuals, space and time. This is a limited conception. If this limited conception is not maintained, then universal ' I ' remains.

When a human-being is established in this universal ' I ', he becomes completely free from the sense of ' I ' and ' Mine '.

From the standpoint of the Discipline of Disinterested Action (Karma yoga);

Nothing is mine, because I have no independent claim on things, persons, circumstances, incidents and situations, etc. When nothing is mine, it means that I need nothing, as I need food, water and clothes for the body, only if it is mine; but if it is not mine, I need nothing for it.

When there is clear understanding that nothing is mine and I need nothing, there is no question of egoism (feeling of I),because egoism persists by accepting affinity for the body, things and circumstances, etc.

The fact is that the so-called body of mine has an affinity for the world, so it should be used to render service to the world, because I for myself need nothing.
By having this sort of feeling, egoism perishes and a striver becomes free from egoism and a sense of mine.

'Hari Om ' AMEN”

“God / Brahman Speaking To Anne Terri Through The Holy Spirit:

Exactly.
It simply is and to try to understand it, will make your heads swim.
As far as the eye can see, can be completely changed with My Light.
The sun blocks your view of the darkness and the stars millions of light years away.
The Perfect Illusion.
What you can not see does not exist, or does it?
Only in your memory during the day, and now with enhanced photography to prove you saw the other stars at night.
Letting go of Ego, most certainly opens doors to anew, to experience the World Through My Eyes.

AMEN”

Bg 9.34 — Engage your mind always in thinking of Me, become My devotee, offer obeisances to Me and worship Me. Being completely absorbed in Me, surely you will come to Me

Chapter 8:55
Bg 18.55 — One can understand Me as I am, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of Me by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God.

In Hinduism, Bhakti - literally meaning "portion, share", from the root bhaj- "to partake in, to receive one's share" refers to religious devotion of a devotee in the worship of the divine. Within Hinduism, it is the love felt by the worshiper towards the personal God, a concept expressed in Hindu theology as I.

Bhakti yoga is a spiritual path or spiritual practice within Hinduism focused on the cultivation of love and devotion towards God.
