Bhakti (devotion) is not an experience, It IS a state of the heart and soul. It is a state which comes when the psychic being is awake and prominent. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/sadhana-through-love-and-devotion-ii#p2</ref>
The nature of bhakti is adoration, worship, self-offering to what is greater than oneself. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/bhakti-devotion-worship#p26</ref>
'''Bhakti Yoga '''
This body of ours is a symbol of our real being. Body is the support of the yoga, but its energy is not inexhaustible and needs to be husbanded; it can be kept up by drawing on the universal vital Force but that reinforcement too has its limits. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/23/visions-and-symbols-v#p1</ref> <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the-physical-nature#p56</ref>
The body is an instrument for the sadhana no less than the mind and vital, and it should be kept in a good condition as far as possible. Not to care for the body, thinking it is of no importance compared with the inner state, is not the rule of this Yoga.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/illness-and-health#p35</ref>
==Brahma==
==Brahman==
The Upanishad first affirms the existence of this profounder, vaster, more puissant consciousness behind our mental being. That, it affirms, is Brahman. Mind, Life, Sense, Speech are not the utter Brahman; they are only inferior modes and external instruments. Brahman-consciousness is our real self and our true existence.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/12/commentary-iv#p1</ref>
Not only are we all Brahman in our nature and being, waves of one sea, but we are each of us Brahman in His entirety, for that which differentiates and limits us, nama and rupa, exists only in play and for the sake of the world-drama.
==Brain Centre==
The brain is only a centre of the physical consciousness. One feels stationed there so long as one dwells in the physical mind or is identified with the body-consciousness, then one receives through the ''sahasrāra''[which centralises spiritual mind, higher mind, intuitive mind and acts as a receiving station for the intuition proper and overmind] into the brain. When one ceases to be stationed in the body, then the brain is not a station but only a passive and silent transmitting channel. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/sabcl/22/planes-and-parts-of-the-being-xiii#p35</ref>
