Dear All, Jai Shri Mataji
You are all aware of what is "Ananya Bhakti"?
See the Excerpt below, as a reminder, and understand that before self realisation there can be no bhakti. This is what Sri Krishna said.
My question is "What is Ananya Bhakti in the context of the Advent of Shri Mataji" ? What has SHE said?
Would you like to attempt the answer?
Excerpt - Ananya Bhakti
For that, according to Shri Krishna, you have to go through various tests…………
So what should be the state? What should be the condition? He said: “If you praise Me, if you have Bhakti for Me, you are giving Me presents, you are doing all sorts of things, you are very dedicated, but you should do Ananya Bhakti.” Word is ‘Ananya’. Ananya means when there is not the other, when we are one, when we are connected, then the Bhakti you do that time, ………………………..
That’s how He has explained Bhakti, what is Bhakti is very clearly. But people don’t understand. They think that Bhakti means you go on singing on the street: “Hare Rama, Hare Krishna”, this and that, is Bhakti. Is not. If that was real, they would have achieved something, but they did not. Now, don’t blame Krishna for that! He has clearly said it should be Ananya Bhakti………………
Every morning get up at four o’clock, take bath, read Krishna’s Gita, do this, do that. Then we sing bhajans, this. We never get anything. So what is the reason?” Reason is that you are not one with God.
And when you are one with God, then what does He give you? …….He gives you balance. Also He gives you a tranquil temperament, joy of life. All these things are there within us if we have the Bhakti, which is after being united, after the Yoga, with the Yogeshwara. This is what one has to understand.
