Answer 3

According to me a true devotee is a person who help the other people in their difficult time. It is not a matter of wealth whethere u help the person physically or by giving ur love or any way. But today each man becomes selfish even I saw in buses specially women don't left the seats or young guys don't want to left the seat of lady or physically handicaped or senior citizen seat but if u think or do this small thing then I think this shows that we r doing something for good because we all know that our soul contains the power of God and even our one great Saint Swami Vivekananda Said :

To help the humanbeing is the biggest sewa of God

So according to me if u help some one in one way or other i just give a small example to u there are several small small examples of this a devotee is not a person who left all her responsibilities of world or your own house only indulge in japa then this is not a devotee a devotee who do all her responsibilities of life and even do the jappa of God side by side that is the true defination of God.
