The Path of the Heart: Unlike paths focused heavily on physical postures (Hatha yoga) or intense intellectual study, Bhakti yoga focuses on cultivating an emotional, personal relationship with a chosen representation of God.
The Narada Bhakti Sutra
"When all thoughts, all words, and all deeds are given up unto the Lord, and the least forgetfulness of God makes one intensely miserable, then love has begun."
Quotes by Swami Vivekananda
"Bhakti is intense love to God."
"Bhakti-Yoga is natural, sweet and gentle. It does not say, 'Give up'; it only says, 'Love, love the Highest!'"
Swami Vivekananda:
"Bhakti is greater than karma, greater than Yoga, because these are intended for an object in view, while Bhakti is its own fruition, its own means and its own end."
