stillness - silence, listening for God ? devotion - silent prayer ? same or different mediation for morning and night ? Title: Re: Meditation Routine Post by: blue nova on Aug 20, 2010 03:24 pm devotion....Ardent, often selfless affection and dedication, as to a person or principle.
stillness....The state or an instance of being quiet or calm. (((Hugs))) <3<3<3 Title: Re: Meditation Routine Post by: blue nova on Aug 21, 2010 04:30 pm just found this at answers.com ...interesting :)
bhak·ti (bŭk'tē) n. Hinduism A path to achieving salvation through loving devotion to a particular deity, open to all persons irrespective of sex or caste. [Sanskrit bhaktiḥ, devotion, from bhajati, he apportions.] Religion: Bhakti ReligionTo follow a Hindu spiritual path is to follow Bhakti, or dedication to a personal deity of love, mercy, and grace who calls for devotion and surrender. This concept is similar in practice, if not in theology, to the Christian concept of salvation. Hindus prefer the word devotion, a personal response to the feeling that one is separated from the ground of one's being. Although the Hindu concept of "God" is far different from the traditional Western understanding, in Bhakti a chosen deity manifests itself to the individual and calls for personal devotion. The deity is only one expression of the divine, which is unknowable and impossible to define. (See also Brahman/Atman) Wiki says Bhakti (Devanāgarī: भक्ति, Sanskrit: devotion, or portion) (((Hugs))) <3<3<3 Title: Re: Meditation Routine Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Aug 21, 2010 08:06 pm just found this at answers.com ...interesting :) bhak·ti (bŭk'tē) n.

'God help me be a channel thru which your love flows and an inspiration to truth seeking souls everywhere.' That prayer works over the years. You will see it manifest thru your service to others and the service others provide to you in reciprocity. 'The deity is only one expression of the divine, which is unknowable and impossible to define.' Very Buddhist in description.
