Devotion

mayi ca nanyayogena,bhaktir bhicariniavya ,
vivktadesasevitvam,aratir janasamsadi.
Unswerving devotion to me with wholehearted discipline
,resort to solitary places,dislike for a crowd of people.
Concentration of mind is very necessary for devotion.if you concentrate on any figure as Rama,Krishana, Jesus,Nank or any other god,your mind should constantly be on that figure.here is the secret.when your devotion becomes stroner you can see the magic of this.your mind start to become cool and smooth beacuse you do not give room to other any worldly object.you will be astonish that your wishes start getting fulfiled without ever asking.
In Gita shri krishna said,"If any body devote on any God or Goddess i fulfill his desire because by that God or Goddess he is devoting to me."
Second method is of meditation.it is higher class.you have come on yourself.but it is necessary.As Buddha`s cousin said time,"Many Bikhshus get enlightend,and they came after me,but why i am not".Buddha said,"you will get enlightened after my death because you are much attached to my body.when my figure will disappear than you will".and that was right after his death that very night ananda get enlightened.because in meditation we have to leave the figure and name.[roopa,name]What we do in meditation?we delete our thoughts by observation.and when thoughts decreases meditation increases.you can find the way.
For theses both methods rowdy places are not much better.So Baghwan guides us that it will be better to live in lap of nature on any mountain,fall side of a River.we can see in ourselves that our mind automatically feels easy in such places.
