Bhakti - Love and Devotion
"Saints and sages say: 'Happiness is not to be found outside or in the things outside. So if you truly want happiness, then turn outwards to inwards (stop searching happiness outside and search it within yourself), i.e, do the 'bhakti' of the Almighty; try to find him within. Real happiness lies in knowing thyself. Goswami Tulsidas Ji Maharaj says:
"'Jimi thal binu jal rahi na sakai| Koti bhanti keu karai uupai
Tatha Moksha sukh sunu khagrai| Rahi n sakai Hari bhagati bihai'
('As water can’t exist without land, similarly Mukti or Moksha can't be without the bhakti of God.')
"We must steadfastly hold this in our minds that the Param Prabhu Paramatma (the Almighty) is pure bliss. Knowing him will bring true happiness, and nothing else can. In addition to that we must know that the Almighty can only be known through his bhakti."
-- Maharshi Santsevi Paramhansaji Maharaj, Satya-Kya? (What is Truth?)

This is the gateway through which we leave the sense organs' gates, enter the divine realms, and finally become established in the soul. We travel back from the Realm of Darkness to the Realm of Light, the Light to the Divine Sound, and the Realm of Sound to the Soundless State. This is called turning back to the Source." (Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj)
