 II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II


निर्पक्षी ही भक्ती है, निर्मोही को ज्ञान I
निरद्वंदी की मुक्ती है, निर्लोभी निर्वान II


"Kabir says, devotion is love for God. However, in its widest sense, it means love for all because God is all and pervades all. A true devotee of God recognises the universal presence of God in all things. Since he loves God unconditionally, he transcends all duality, attraction and aversion and cultivates sameness. True devotion, therefore, is even higher than renunciation, because a renunciant may also have sameness and treats everyone equally, but his attitude arises from detachment and indifference rather than love. 
True devotion is pure and selfless. People worship God for various reasons, when they need something, when they are in difficulties or simply out of curiosity. Their devotion is conditional and impure, since it is mixed with desires, egoism, worldliness and selfishness. However, true devotion is without motive and egoism. A true devotee however worships God, out of pure love, seeking nothing in return except his love and attention. True devotion and selfishness cannot coexist in the same heart.
In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty. In the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. To be detached does not mean running away from life, family, society, one’s duty and responsibility, or being less sensitive or loving. A truly detached one does not neglect any of this; but rather selflessly loves and serves the Divine in them and expands that love and service to all other beings without any sense of bondage or emotional attachment.
The liberation from mundane existence comes true when joy doesn't elate and sorrow doesn't sadden, for it is living in the world but not of the world. Only when the world's allurement is lost will true liberation be possible. And it's allurement cannot be lost unless it is found to be unreal. 
We have created our own bondage through our desires, attachments, egoism and cravings. Freedom is in detachment, in desirelessness, in mindlessness. Real freedom is merging in the Absolute."
