One should realize that just as the body can be healthy only so long as the blood is pure, real bliss can be experienced only when the mind is filled with thoughts of God. Divinity cannot be discovered by experiment. To realize this inherent divinity in man the royal path is the path of spirituality. The nine forms of devotion mentioned in the scriptures may not directly reveal God, but they do show the path to God-realization. Of these, chanting the name of the Lord is the simplest. Whatever form of worship, penance or meditation one may adopt, the foundation is the Lord's name. Chanting the Lord's name is essential for crossing the turbulent ocean of life.

I am very interested in the nine forms of devotion you speak of... What scripture are you reading from? Baghavad Gita maybe? Very interested in learning.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I accidentally errased your comment when I was trying to find you...
Now, I am off to read more of you.
