what is the real meaning of devotion& salvation?

Question

arise awake and rest not till the goal is reached

Answer 1

Assuming your Christian:

Salvation: Accepting Jesus' gift that he gave on the cross. Being saved from sin.

Devotion: Giving yourself wholly to God (Father Son and Holy Spirit) and acting according to his will.

Answer 2

Lord Sri Krishna states in Bhagavad-gita 18.54,
"One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments or desires to have anything. He is equally disposed toward every living entity. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto Me."

So, after liberation one attains devotion. Devotion is on the platform of Liberation or salvation. The normal process is:-
1. Dharma -Relgion
2. Artha - Economic Liberation
3. Kama - Sense Gratification
4. Moksa - Liberation or Salvation
5. Bhakti - Devotional service.

The Vedas say, tamasi ma jyotir gama, that is don't remain in darkness but come to light.

The beauty of Bhakti is that one need not have to go through the normal process. One can immediately take up the process of bhakti at any stage, irrespective of time, place and circumstances.

Answer 3

Firstly Salvation, is the acceptance that you are a Sinner and can only be saved through the blood of Jesus Christ. That his death on the cross was for you and that your sins have been atoned for. When you realise this then you ask for forgiveness from God and accept his Salvation in your life.

Secondly Devotion is a conduit to Salvation, in that because you have been saved from sin you now want to prepare and go to heaven and to do so you have to be devoted to God, his principles, commandments and his ways as it is written in the Bible. It also means to commune and talk to God through prayer.

I hope this helps you

Answer 4

Devotion-means having affection with the God

Salvation-means getting salvation from our sin...!

Answer 5

Today all of us are devoted, but to our body needs and desires, knowing fully well that it is perishable.

So we already know the definition of devotion.

When we orient ourselves to the matters of our soul's interests, which is eternal, we will be devoted, as we should be.

Salvation is something which only a true saint can explain to us.
