Three Kinds of Devotees – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar




All three are different kinds of devotees, and yet all three are supreme.- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar states:
The first kind is a devotee who keeps asking, ‘God give me this’, ‘God give me that.’

The second kind is a devotee who is always grateful, ‘Thank you God, you gave me this and you gave me that’; a devotee who is emotional, prayerful and keeps crying out of gratitude.

The third kind is a devotee who always remains joyful, keeps smiling, dancing and singing; a joyful devotee.

All three are different kinds ofdevotees, and yet all three are supreme. It is not that one is greater than another – that is not so.

So there is, a crying devotee, a laughing devotee, and a devotee who keeps asking – which category are you in, you can see that for yourself.

It is possible that a little of all three may be there in you. That also is okay. Then that would be the fourth kind of devotee – one who has a little bit of all the three present.
