Saptamopadeśaḥ (Samādhi) · Verse 15

भक्तियोगं ततः प्रोक्तं योगिनां सिद्धिदायकम् | तत्प्रकारं प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु त्वं कमलानने ||

bhaktiyogaṃ tataḥ proktaṃ yogināṃ siddhidāyakam | tatprakāraṃ pravakṣyāmi śṛṇu tvaṃ kamalānane ||

The fifth samādhi: Bhakti yoga — union through devotion. Bhakti is love, devotion, absolute surrender to the divine.

It is the path of the heart, of those who love and surrender. It requires no complex technique but intensity of feeling.

“Giver of perfection” — pure love is the greatest power. When the ego dissolves in love, what remains is the divine.
