Quiz on Devotion

How can we connect with our Divinity? By observing the ways & words of those who translated their sweet devotion into selfless action. And then what happens? What happens is an Ascension to our own Divinity. Yes, not a mere Connection to Divinity. Sadhguru Sri Madhusudan Sai is one such Ascended Master living amidst us, guiding us by drawing from His own journey.

As Sadhguru Sri Madhusudan Sai lovingly explains what is devotion:
“When you believe, “This is my mother,” you develop love for her. When you believe, “This is my father,” you develop love for him. When you believe that someone is your friend, you develop love for that friend. The same way, when you believe there is a God who is for you, doing so much without your asking and without even telling you, then you automatically develop love. This love for God alone is devotion. Various kinds of love exist, such as vatsalya, or a mother’s love for her child; snehitam, or love between friends, which you call friendship; there is bandhavyam, or love between brothers or brotherhood. Similarly, love for God is devotion. It is as simple as that.”

What is the one quality that allows for permanent happiness?

2. “Good company is God’s company. Seek out the company of noble people, of devoted people so that your thoughts of devotion and nobility do not get affected by the wrong company.”

4. “Truly God needs nothing. He has everything. The only thing that He craves for is the love of the devotee. His hands are always this way; giving and giving and giving. Only time He turns His palm the other way to receive is when He wants to receive the love of devotees.”

“If you come to ask God, you don’t know whether God will come and give because we don’t know what we are asking is it right or wrong, but if you _____________, God will come running to you.”

5. “This is the ultimate undisputed law that wherever Krishna and Arjuna are there, Krishna to guide and Arjuna to follow, that is where there is success, fame, abundance. This is undisputed, unchangeable law of the universe. It was valid then, it is valid now, it will be valid a thousand years also from here. You are all My students, devotees, all are the Arjunas of these times. I know you all have your own battles to fight. But at the same time, you are ready to follow what Swami says. Today is a very happy day for Me because I have heard the sweetest word that I love to hear every time. Do you know what is that word which I love to hear?”
