The Universal Thread

Same truth, different voices

Convergence
Devotion
When the soul finds itself loving God, and at the same time is conscious of love, humility, and reverence, it's a sign that the Holy Spirit is working within it. Whenever the Holy Spirit grants favors, He does so with humility and reverence.

जब आत्मा अपने शब्दों और अवधारणाओं में प्रभु से प्रेम करती है, और 同 समय प्रेम के साथ-साथ विनम्रता और आदर का भी अनुभव करती है, तो यह एक संकेत है कि पवित्र आत्मा उसके भीतर काम कर रहा है। जब प्रभु कृपा करता है, तो विनम्रता और आदर के साथ करता है।

Pilgrimages, austerities, charities, and acts of compassion are all commendable devotional practices, but only if they allow one to gain even a small amount of honor in the Lord's court.

तीर्थ यात्रा, तपस्या, दान, दया के कार्य आदि, सभी भक्ति प्रक्टिस हैं, लेकिन केवल अगर वे किसी को भगवान के दरबार में सम्मान प्राप्त करने में सक्षम बनाते हैं।
