There
are three types of devotion: The Vihanga method,
where like a bird swooping down upon the ripe fruit on the
tree, the devotee is too impatient and by the very
impatience one exhibits, loses the fruit, which falls from
one’s hold. The Markata method is akin to a
monkey which grabs one fruit and then chooses another and
tugs at that, giving way to unsteadiness as it is unable to
decide which fruit it wants. So too, the devotee of this
type hesitates and changes the goal much too often and thus
loses all chances of success. The third and ideal type is
the Pipeelika method, where like the ant, which
slowly but steadily proceeds towards the sweetness, the
devotee also moves directly, with undivided attention
towards the Lord and wins His Grace.
