Knowledge of God leads to devotion & Nivrutti

Knowledge of God leads to devotion & Nivrutti

 Nivrutti is essential because in Pravrutti, you have always a chance of missing God, since in the cycle of births and deaths, there is every possibility of entering the atmosphere of atheism. Nivrutti is the process of establishing eternal and single bond with God. The devotion in Nivrutti is pure because the love on God is without any selfish aim. Since you like God like your family members without any selfish aim, the bond is of pure love. There is no difference between love and devotion. Love is the interest on the souls or items in the world. Devotion is the interest on God. Devotion is love like the old wine in new bottle as said in Smruti (Yaanahpreetih….). In Nivrutti, you have to prove that God is highest for you and that you can sacrifice anything and anybody for the pleasure of God. Therefore, the basic interest leads to knowledge of God (Shraddhavaan labhate.….Gita) and knowledge of God leads to devotion.
