Devotion: The mantra to tap divine power

According to others, devotion is the method for accessing the enormous reservoir of spiritual power that permeates the entire cosmos and beyond. The all-powerful Creator is that force. Devotion to God is seen in ancient Hindu philosophy as a means of success in human endeavors. It’s crucial that we comprehend the meanings of devotion.

Whole commitment to a cause, whether it be temporal or spiritual, is referred to as dedication. That commitment is unselfish and selfless. When someone shows such devotion to another individual, it indicates a dedication to the latter’s welfare. It suggests a commitment to advance his interests and promote his welfare.

God, who is the almighty creator and ruler of all universes, aids in the growth and advancement of every human being he has ever created by providing them with the just rewards for their good deeds. He has also given people access to the four Vedas, which are collections of timeless wisdom. Humans are expected to follow the Vedic teachings and carry out their karmas in order to accomplish both their material and spiritual objectives. The same sacred writings known as the Vedas exhort people to work with complete devotion to their creator and commitment to His purpose.

What is His cause? It is the facilitation of the progress of all humans and even lesser sentient beings. And this progress can be helped by humans, who are the most intelligent species, by assiduously following the injunctions of Vedas—the prime texts provided by Him for their guidance. And Vedas say a person who is devoted to god will work continually in sync with sat, the divine laws of dharma. The divine order rit will continually make such dedicated human actions to fructify, producing the best results, which will be in the nature of peace, progress and prosperity of all sentient beings.

Devotion to god, therefore, means a lot. A person who is devoted will have his mental and intellectual faculties working always in a positive and progressive direction. He will perform selfless karmas that will benefit the entire ecosphere, including his own self. This mode of living will enable him to tap the ennobling divine nectar from that infinite reservoir of spiritual power, thus purifying his senses and subtle faculties.
