Q: How to get more devoted to you?


Sri Sri: Devotion is like that. Endless. The more you are devoted, you still feel you can be more�.. If someone tells you "Oh I am so devoted". Just know that the person is not. Its like the person is almost climbing down the steps!! The sign of true devotion is that you start feeling endless.

Ask any mother; they just cannot stop giving their daughter!! Everything they find good in the market, they want to secretly procure and give it for their daughter. But they feel that if the same behavior is done to the daughter-in � law, they may get spoilt!! (Laughter). Tell me how many of you feel the same? Raise your hands, how many of you have the same problem in you house? Yeh. But you are not understanding the mothers emotions�this is a sign of deep love. How much ever you do yet you feel less is done.

Q: Why is craving and aversion not correct in the path?

Sri Sri: You know craving causes sadness. If you are caught up in craving and aversion too much then you loose your discrimination. You loose your vision. Your vision gets clouded. Then everything you do becomes wrong. But it can be removed through yoga. Slowly slowly� u can make it a practice. Then one day you will see there is only love without craving.

Pranams.In Lalitha Sahasranama it is said that chanting Siva's name is 100 times more potent than chanting Vishnu's name and chanting Devi's name even 100 times more potent than chanting Siva's name. You have told us divine is only one. Then how to understand this saying of Sruthi? Please kindly explain as only you can dispell this doubt.
