==Devotion==
Devotion: modest and fragrant, it gives itself without seeking for anything in return.
A devotion that keeps concentrated and silent in the depths of the heart but manifests in acts of service and obedience.

Worship is only the first step on the path of devotion. Where external worship changes into the inner adoration, real bhakti begins; that deepens into the intensity of divine love; that love leads to the joy of closeness in our relations with the Divine; the joy of closeness passes into the bliss of union.
