“Next, to have ‘Bhakti without thought of another’. It is not like thinking of Veṅkaṭaramaṇa in a time of crisis and, the moment comfort comes, putting Śrīnivāsa out of one's mind. Nor is it like a relish used just for the moment, the way one takes a little sour pickle for taste when the mouth has gone stale. Whatever comes, at all times and in all states, one must remain never separated from God. Such ‘ananya yoga’ is what is called ‘ananya Bhakti’, Bhakti without thought of another. Whatever work one does, whatever word one speaks, whatever song one sings, if it holds attachment to God, that is ananya Bhakti.”
