Till we get a genuine saint we need to practice both the type of devotions one without work(actions) and devotion with work(actions).

Without work devotion is taking out two to four hours from busy daily schedule and keeping it reserved reserved for God. This is period is for you and your spiritual practice carried out in separation. You should sit preferably in isolation. Concentrate your mind on the form of God you like.

You can use music, devotional songs and try to visualize according to the song. For example, one such song says ' Filled with dust particles, Krishn is returning in the evening after grazing cows. He is looking extremely charming and attractive......'. While visualizing this happening, put yourself in the divine Vrindavan where the event is taking place. It is the same God- Krishn, who is your beloved. Be sure that he will respond your love one day. But he is not responding now. Because you love him, you will want to meet him, just as any girl in love with a boy would do. Your desire will become more and more intense. Tears will flow. This point on you are sure that your spiritual practice is in the right direction.

You desire that Krishn should to come to you only if he is happy in doing so; meaning you practice love which is devoid of any selfish motive of your own happiness. Love to make Krishn happy. You should never think, 'If he doesn't love me why should I?' In such type of thinking you are expecting love for love. True love doesn't expect anything.

Mirabai says, 'If you break relationship from your side, let is be so. I won't break it.'

Gaurang Mahaprabhu says, 'O! Krishn, you can behave with me whichever way you like. You love me or you ignore me by not taking any cognizance of me or you treat me as your enemy and kill me, MY LOVE WILL REMAIN UNALTERED in any situation.'

When your love will increase to such an extent that you will feel the world has come to standstill, you are not able to live without him; tears wil continuously flow; a second will appear like trillions of years; you are having the acute pain that a fish has when out of water, Krishn will appear. Love in this world , with any person or object will lead you sufferings and more sufferings while the same love, when directed to the pure personality – Krishn, will lead you to eternal bliss, because pure personality will purify your heart and impure personality will make it more dirty. Try it; you will love doing it. You can see that spiritual practice does not need any external rituals, worship, pilgrimage, any exercise of yoga or that of namaz etc. However it is better to sit alert while doing the spiritual practice so that sleep doesn’t overpower.
