Krishna said Arjuna that He Dhananjay, you have fully devoted your life and soul to Krishna, the supreme power of the world. The full devotion itself is the attainment of supreme knowledge. In spirituality this stage is attained through years of meditation and worship. The sages are praying years after years for illuminating their soul with the knowledge of paramatma,. When you have fully devoted your life for establishment of dharma on earth, you should not be biased.
Devotion for a particular purpose or work is the highest form of learning and realization of self and paramatma. A person, who dedicatess his life for well being of the humanity selflessly, he attains the higher level of knowledge through karma yoga. Such dedication flows from the heart and soul and activates mind to perform.
Aditya, the Sun God illuminates in the morning and spreads lights to take away darkness. Each and every corner of the world is lighted irrespective of big or small, clean or dirty, human or animal, sea or mountain. The devoted soul never discriminates between the time, the situation and environment, the bondage with the light is so strong that it ignores the affect of nature on the body and soul.
The devotion makes the soul and mind, calm, strong, unbiased by the worldly incidents, focused for the purpose and binds the soul to the purpose with power of emotion and dedication. He reflects and sees nothing but his noble purpose as Arjun could see the eye of the bird, while aiming to shoot, without being affected by the presence of others. it is devotion.
When the rock of a mountain runs with the tide of the water of spring and broken into pieces, it is not bothered by the pain of shattering, as it aims to be the pebbles to be present inside the idol as prana, the paramatma, to bless the whole world with happiness, knowledge, contentment and peace.
Lord Varun has seven strings to bind the wicked people in the name of Uttama, madhyama and adhama and to destroy their badness. A devoted soul is like sea absorbing water of all rivers, but does not change its shape, size or colour , does not change with situation, for him purpose is supreme and working for the purpose is worship.
Such soul has the power to connect to million souls to illuminate, to purify with its power or devotion. It is bright like sun, it is cool like breeze and it is pleasant like spring……….

By going through the article, one must be very clear to understand the meaning of "Devotion" and it is well understood that the involvement, sincerity, integrity and devotion are always recognized, which can lead anyone's life.
Well defined and nicely designed.

Devotion is nothing but commitment and dedication; dedication towards anything and everything we want to achieve. In the article, a complete standalone description is presented to clarify the meaning of the word. Hope we learn from the same and follow in toto.

The text is very informative and cited with good example. Devotion is required in each step of our day to day life. Ill thoughts can be overcome. It makes us not only more positiveness but also very discipline.
So very true and one thing lord did mention is devotion has no purpose. It should come straight from heart.
“Devotion for a particular purpose or work is the highest form of learning and realization of self and PARAMATMA. A person, who dedicates his life for well-being of the humanity selflessly, he attains the higher level of knowledge through KARMA-YOGA.”
These lines have several implications like: Who am I ? (Self-Realization), the path of knowledge (Gyana), and bhakti through service selflessly (Karma)
There are two types of YOGI: Karma Yogi and the other one is Dharma Yogi. Best example of the first category is in front of all of us. Such a pious soul is none other than our lovable Hon'ble Founder, KIIT GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS. Even from the old stone age, Karma Yogi have been paid the upper chair.
The article is truly outstanding to present the roles & responsibilities of a person who is determined to excel. There is no shortcut to success. However, when it is blended with devotion, the outcome certainly leads to excellence. The author has cited several real examples from Myth teach us to believe in ourselves to focus on the basic objectives.
We people are doing karma. If it is with complete devotion, then it's kama yoga. Devotion gives the ultimate satisfaction ,which is beyond expectations. The supreme power with supranental force can only work through them. Bandita Paikaray

Devotion the word it self energies the individual to do selflessly. All great man and author's had one thing in common that was devotion. No success story is possible without complete devotion of the person doing it. Madam your articles are always educative and shows your complete devotion on matter you are narrating. Thank you Maam for the enlightenment enlightenment as the example given in the topic were from Dharma.
