In bhakti there is not only singing of kirtans, bhajans and
other acts of devotion, as most people think it to be. Bhakti is essentially an
attitude by which a person begins to understand the limitations of the movement
of the intellect. When intellect begins to understand how limited its reach is,
then it cuts itself out. It becomes absolutely silent. When fancy can no more
unfurl its wings, when it settles down, then what remains is the experience of
the “Supreme Self.” That means, the ‘I’ has to go. Someone once told me that
the shortest cut is to cut the ego into two! That is easier said than done!
