How long can you stagnate in the same class? Have you no wish to get promoted to the next higher class? In devotion (Bhakti), there are two classes, Sahaja bhakti(Ordinary devotion) and Visesha bhakti (Special Devotion).Sahaja bhakti is satisfied with worship, bhajan, namasmarana, pooja and vrata (group singing, remembrance of Lord, austerities, ritual worship, pilgrimage, etc.). Vishesha bhakti craves for purity of character, suppression of impulses, practice of daya, prema, shanti and ahimsa (compassion, love, peace and non-violence), and inquiry into the why and wherefore of man. It is a matter of shame that people stick to the same class year in and year out. Then there is another higher class named Para bhakti too (devotion that transcends all worldliness). Cleverness can correct and solve external problems; concentrated sadhana alone can correct and solve internal crisis.
