“How can
the bhakta stand apart from his sorrows?
To a devotee this is much easier than for anyone else. He is one who has
already offered all of himself. He has laid at the altar of his Lord his entire
being. So totally surrendered becomes his worldly and sacred personality, that
not only his physical being but his ideas, his ideals, his worldly duties, even
his spiritual duties come to be entirely offered at His feet. His joy is only
in going on striving for Him. All worries and anxieties thereafter are His.
Then on what account should he ever weep?”
― Swami
