There are only two ways of devotion – (i) Markata Kishora Nyaaya (the behavior of a baby monkey) and (ii) Marjara Kishora Nyaya (the behavior of kittens).”
“Did you follow both?”
“I started with the first one – A baby monkey takes firm hold of its mother. The mother monkey does not bother to hold the baby but it is the baby who holds on tight to the mother. Whenever I faced fear (that comes as stress, tension, ego, anxiety, etc) I held on to God. The life experiences taught me how to manage fears. So I am more on to marjara bhakti. Just as a cat picks up her kitten to safety without any effort on the latter’s part, I too make no effort and leave myself totally to the will of God. It is a total surrender.”
