Sharanagata Mantra: September 1-15

~~OM~~

On the qualities of a Supreme Devotee from the Devi Gita

Always listening to My qualities, singing My names, the repository of the jewels of the qualities of welfare, contemplating the infinite, he resides in Me. His consciousness remains fixed only, just as oil always gives moisture.

He maintains no other motive there, nor is there any other desire (not even the desire for the different stages of samadhi: samipya, sarshti, sayujya, salokya).

He considers my seva as most important, and knows of nothing else. He maintains the attitude there that I am the servant of the served, and has no desire even for liberation.
With the greatest love He thinks only of me, knowing himself to be indivisible from Me eternally and never separate.

From Devi Gita, Chapter 9, verses 11-15
