Devotion
is like a King who has two aides-de-camp called Wisdom
(Jnana) and Detachment (Vairagyam).
Without these body-guards, devotion is never safe or secure.
Devotion must be built upon the foundation of Wisdom and
must flower as Detachment from the world. The man of wisdom
(Jnani) is unmoved by the agitating feelings and
emotions and is unshaken by the storms of good fortune and
bad (a sthithaprajna). The one who is detached
(vairagi) is the one who has rid himself of the
three gunas (or qualities of the mind). A devotee
is one who has love towards all living beings. Bhakthi,
Jnana and Vairagya are three peaks of the same
Himalayan Range. Prema creates daya
(compassion), Vairaagya induces dhama
(tolerance); and, jnaana (wisdom) leads you along
the path of dharma.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
