Love of His Feet forms bhakti.

Excerpt

Just as the ankola fruit falling from the tree rejoins it or a piece of iron is drawn to magnet, so also thoughts, after rising up, lose themselves in their original source. This is bhakti. The original source of thoughts is the feet of the Lord, Isvara. Love of His Feet forms bhakti.

✨ To meditate on today

According to Ramana Maharshi, commenting here on the great master Shankara, bhakti, devotion, means letting each thought return to its source, the feet of the Lord, as the fruit returns to the earth from which the tree sprang. Today, when a thought stirs you up, let it gently fall back towards the calm from which it comes.
