Question:

However much I try I do not experience Bhakti. Why?

Swamigal:

Devotion that is deep within is covered up by lust and worldly desires. We shall be blessed with true devotion only when these are cast off.

Question:

Only I AM GOD - this thought keeps occurring in me always. Why ?

Swamigal:

Whenever such thought occurs question yourself if you possess God's auspicious qualities, knowledge, and wealth. You will realise that you do not. When such is the case what is the use of calling yourself GOD? So, avoid this thought and love God in "DASYA BHAVA". That is the best way.
