" Bhakthi is something sweet, soothing, refreshing and restoring. It must
confer patience and fortitude. The Bhaktha will not be perturbed if another
gets the interview first or if another is given greater consideration. He is
humble and bides his time: he knows that there is a higher power that knows
more and that it is just and impartial.
In the light of that knowledge, the Bhaktha will communicate his troubles
and problems only to his Lord; he will not humiliate himself by talking about
them to all and sundry, for what can a man, who is as helpless as himself, do
to relieve him? It is only those who have that implicit faith in God, who will
deign to communicate only with the Lord and none else, who deserve Amritha .
It is a great responsibility to tread the godward path. There is no
sliding back, no halfway stop, no tardy pace, no side lane on such a
pilgrimage. It is always up and up, right to the crest of the mountain.
