NARADA BHAKTI SUTRAS
 
"Chinta": Chinta means 'thinking', 'reflecting'
'being anxious about.'
 
Sarvabhaavena: Bhaava is mode of existence; in
all their modes of existence, and in all their moods.
In every aspect of life the devotee has only God-con-
sciousness. In his attitude to the members of his
family, to his friends who do good to him, to those
who do evil, to his superiors and to his inferiors, in
every relation that subsists between him and others
he has only God-consciousness.
 
Bhagavan He who has all glory, all power and
all wisdom, i.e., the Lord.
 
Bhajanam worshipping. 'Bhaj' literally means
to 'share in' to obtain for oneself, to partake of.
Bhakta is one who shares all the glory, power and
knowledge with the Lord.
 
'Nischinta Bhajana' is complete concentration of
the mind on God without a break at any time.
 
Gita says: "Tameva saranam gaccha sarva bha-
vena Bharata! Flee unto Him for shelter with all
thy being, O Bharata!" The whole heart, mind, in-
tellect, Chitta and soul must be given to God without
any reservation. Ch. XVIII 62. This is "Sarvabhaa-
vena". When you meditate, you must be free from
thoughts of fear, worry or anxiety.
