What is Devotion Sentience

When this awareness becomes a living reality, we naturally begin to perform every action as an offering unto Him, knowing that He lovingly witnesses every thought, word and deed. Such awareness is itself the spiritual way of life, and this very essence of the Devotion Sentience is beautifully expressed by Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu in ShreemadPurushartha Grantharaj, Volume 1 – Satyapravesh, Charan 1:

CHARAN 1

To live in the belief that every act of ours is dedicated to the Parameshwar* and that the Parameshwar is aware of everything we do, at that very instant, is living life the spiritual way, and it is this path that grants true peace, contentment and everlasting bliss.

Which in fact the Bhagwatdnyan (भगवत्ज्ञान)– true knowledge about the Bhagwanta and the Bhagwatbhaan (भगवत्भान)– true awareness and consciousness about the Bhagwanta and His active presence in my life.

The Sachchidananda, i.e. 'the joy – live, actual and sentient', of the TriNaath viz. The Parmeshwar Dattaguru, the AadiPitaa SahajaShiva Narayan and the Aadimata Jagadamba Narayani, who manifest as the Sat, Chit, Anand, which is the joy that pervades the entire universe and fills fully, the life of bhaktas. This joy is He, the Swayambhagwan; it is He, the joy of the TriNaath, in substance it is He, the Trivikram.

To connect with any form of the Swayambhagwan that of one's choice and to keep connecting increasingly deep and intense is the Devotion Sentience.

The Devotion Sentience and its origin, both are unfathomable and Aniruddha, which means to anyone their course is neither comprehensible nor stoppable!

You may call Him Ram or Hari, Har, Harihar, Krishna, Shiv, Ishwar, Sarveshwar or you may call out to Him by any name you like.

Any rules and regulations to be devised and observed should also be done only with love.

The ‘Mantragajar of the Swayambhagwan’ is considered the highest, the supreme mantra of the Devotion Sentience because for one thing it was recited by Subhatreyi (the sister of Dattatreya).

Significance of the Sovereign Mantragajar

As for the one, who is unable to recite the Mantragajar equivalent to 16 mala every day, may as per his capacity, keep reciting it 'without counting' and keep offering it at 'His' feet – the life of this Shraddhavan too is bound to keep becoming increasingly beautiful.

The Divine Nature and Attributes of Swayambhagwan Trivikram

Further elaborating on the Devotion Sentience, Bapu describes the divine nature and attributes of Swayambhagwan Trivikram (The Supreme Personality of Godhead),

It is the Swayambhagwan, the Devadhidev (the Lord of the Gods), the Tryambakraj, who takes care of, guards and protects the infinite cosmoses and hence me too as well, keep telling this to your mind every day as the mind tends to waver, and hence it is essential to speak to the mind every day.

'That the Swayambhagwan, the Lord of the Gods is love manifest, forever contented, omniscient, all-pervading and omnipotent', is an experience that the Devotion Sentience alone can grant.

There is nothing as pure as loving Him.

One might perform millions of sevas, one might do many great works, one might perfectly follow all the popular norms of the society, however, if one does not love Him, if one does not offer seva to Him then all these deeds prove nothing but troublesome.

It is He, the Samartha Setu, the Only One, who, hearing the bhakta's call instantly sets Himself in action at that very moment.

The Swayambhagwan, the Lord of the Gods, is very lucid, simple, straightforward and easy-going in His ways. He is never domineering and supercilious, He does not remind us of the favors He grants. He just quietly keeps loving.

To the ears of the Swayambhagwan, the Lord of the Gods, the words full of bhakti uttered by the Shraddhavan, are sweeter and more satisfying than the best and the finest of nectars.

“O Lord of the Gods! O Swayambhagwan! O God of mine! I love You, I offer at Your feet, my firm and absolute trust and my faithful commitment”

the mere utterance of these words automatically rid from the Shraddhavan's life, many of the perils and sins.
