My happiness is at Your holy feet
True devotion requires unwavering focus on the master's feet, regardless of external hardship. Many seek spiritual guidance but their practice remains superficial. Listening and singing are not enough; the essence must penetrate every cell of one's being. Devotion is tested by inner thorns—persistent doubts, ego, and conflicts that arise within. These internal obstacles are more challenging than external ones. They must be consciously removed through humility and persistent inner work. Comfort breeds spiritual complacency, while difficulty reveals the depth of one's attachment. The path demands constant vigilance to cleanse the heart.
"The real happiness we find only in your holy feet, my Gurudev."
"Even if I have to walk on the thorns, still I remain devoted to your holy feet."
