This is the 1st discourse delivered by Swamini Ma Gurupriya during the 2024 Guru Poornima Retreat. In these series of talks, Ma discusses devotion and what the characteristics of a true devotee are. She explains that Bhakti or devotion is that state of mind, where the mind automatically turns towards the Supreme and gets firmly established there, without any motivation or expectation, like the river which flows into the ocean unhindered by anything on the way.
