Om Swami
Can I understand bhakti by listening and reading, or must I practise first?
Taste sadhana to get absorbed in it
A speaker cannot tell the taste of an apple that someone else ate, and in the same way you must taste sadhana yourself. Until you taste it, you will not get hooked on it, and until you are hooked, you cannot be absorbed in it.
Until you taste sadhana, you will not get hooked on it. And until you are hooked on sadhana, you cannot be absorbed in it.
