Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why does my mind run to my children when I sit to chant?
The mind goes where mamata is
The mind flows to wherever your sense of 'mine' is attached. Mamata at the Lord's feet is bhakti; in husband, son and family it is called moh.
Where the connection of mamata (possessive love) is, there the electricity of the mind will flow. If that mamata is at the Lord's feet, it becomes bhakti.
