-:-RIGHT AGE FOR BHAKTI-:-
‘BHAKTI ’is continuous remembrance of GOD, not being distracted by any thought, and connecting a link with the almighty, always, everything and everywhere. But as has been a myth till date, BHAKTI with god is regarded to be a duty. This is commenced only in the later years of life. If one gives a thought over it, is it justified?
When all you know is our medicines, hike in the prices of vegetable or criticizing the government, your grandchildren or your family. With the mind distracted in so many things, with your body surrounded by ailments, can one really devote some quality time in remembering ‘GOD’ .isn’t it strange, when one believes that old age is the time to do BHAKTI and when you get old, you think there is still lot of work no one, but you can do.
Now, taking a retrospective glance in the ‘ADOLOSCENT’ age. The juvenile soul, running in the race of life, hardly even finds time to stop and think about ‘THE ONE’ with whom’s strength your life is improved. They feel as if they are their own MASTERS, but tend to forget that the REAL MASTER is GOD. Pacing high in the spirit to rule the world & this gradually turns you avaricious.
And as years pass, this agility decreases and there lies the responsibility of a family’s upbringing awaited. This phase of life is also explicit of these features. One is so engrossed in these activities, that the thing of substantial importance is somewhere lost. Where do you have time to remember the almighty.
Now comes the foremost stage of human life, the childhood. The age where one is pure at heart, innocent, only learns and understands what is taught & no responsibility. It is the age where the soul can be moulded as desired. Prudently observing the different phases, one can infer that this is the opposite age where one can develop platonic love with GOD. As can also be seen by looking into the history, great saints, dhruv, prahlad, naamdev, all stared their BHAKTI from the very initial ages.
