Who is an Ideal Devotee?

This is explained in detail by Bhagawan SreeKrishna in Chapter 12, Shlokas 13-20 of the Gita. The ideal devotee (Bhakta) should…
  • no hate any living being 
  • cultivate friendship and compassion
  • be free from weakness of mind
  • not be afraid of anyone, and none in the world should fear him/her
  • be unmoved by happiness or misery
  • be pure and efficient
  • be forgiving
  • strive for self-control
  • always be content with what he/she has
  • have a strong determination
  • surrender his/her mind and intellect to God.
  • desire nothing
  • be free from elation, anger, fear, and turbulence of mind
  • give up the feeling of "I and Mine"
  • develop an attitude of mind that rejects good as well as bad things
  • be indifferent to what befalls him/her
  • free from the feeling that he/she is an independent agent
  • have no feeling of elation and enmity or desire
  • have no attachments and should accept pain and pleasure, honor and disgrace, heat and cold equally as his/her portion
  • look upon friends and foes alike
  • not indulge in idle talk
  • not attached to any fixed abode
  • be steadfast in mind.
……. Even though it is difficult to achieve all these qualities, a true devotee should try to cultivate all these qualities in His life... By continuously chanting Bhagawan's Keerthans…By continuously hearing Bhagawan’s avatar leelas…. By continuously doing his Aarathis………. A TRUE DEVOTEE automatically becomes an IDEAL DEVOTEE.. All these mentioned qualities will automatically come to HIM……Surrender yourself to his lotus feet ….. . It is such a 'Bhakta' that is dear to Sri Krishna. And most important of all, those Bhaktas are most dear to God who loves him with full faith in his supremacy … Sreekrishnarppanamasthu……………….Jay Sree Krishna….
