Path of Devotion
Complete self-realization means realizing (experiencing) my true essence, my natural position in relation to the world and all others (other ātmas and the Paramātmā), and my natural function. The natural and eternal function of the soul (ātma/self) is to love and to serve God and others.
Among the yoga processes, the path of devotion (bhakti) awards the ultimate spiritual experience – the awakening of this spiritual love.
This spiritual love is the natural and eternal function of every soul (ātma/self) and offers the highest spiritual ecstasy, something which we all crave within our heart of hearts and is experienced through the path of Devotion (bhakti).
