Knowledge Sheet
In
Bhakti there are four letters. It's made up of "bha", "ka", "ta", and
"i" (ee). "Bha" stands for fulfillment and nourishment. "Ka" stands for
knowing - a means of knowing. "Ta" stands for redeeming, for saving, for
salvation. "I" (ee) stands for shakti.
So in Bhakti four things are there: fulfillment and nourishment; means
of knowing; "tarana" or salvation; and energy. Bhakti saves you. Bhakti
nourishes you. Bhakti is the means of knowing, the right knowledge. When
Bhakti is there the doubts don't come. It gives the most energy. So
Bhakti contains as the seed all the four qualities.
All the emotional upheavals one undergoes is because one doesn't know
Bhakti. When all intense feelings flow in one direction that is Bhakti,
it becomes Bhakti. What is the difference between a canal and a flooded
field? In a flood what happens is the water does not have a bank to flow
in. When the water flows within banks you call it "river". When water
is scattered all over, it's all flooded. So when the emotions get
flooded everywhere, mind is in a mess. If it is intensely flowing in a
direction, then that is Bhakti. And that is most powerful.
A sign of Intelligence is Surrender or Bhakti.
