Everything is indeed Brahman, as declared in the Upanishads. May I never deny Brahman. May Brahman never deny me. May there never be any denial from my side. May all the virtues mentioned in the Upanishads be mine, I who am devoted to the Self.

Same theme, different voices
The yogi who, having attained unity, worships me dwelling in all beings, remains in me, regardless of his way of life.
Devotion does not mean running away from your duties; instead, fulfilling your responsibilities is true devotion.
Your daily life is your place of worship, and your religion is how you live it. Bring your entire being into every moment.
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.
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.
