3. Devotion Minded –
Persons whose mental makeup is that of indulging in rituals and being devotional
utilize their time in practicing rituals. They are religious or in other words have
faith in some kind of ideology. These persons like to spend their time in
chanting, praying and practicing rituals. There mental makeup is very similar
to the service minded where mind is attached to the end outcome they get
influenced by end result. Still they are more grounded and anchored (than work
minded persons). They are able to absorb shocks arising due to favorable and
adverse outcomes to some extent more deftly than the ‘achievers’. As being devotional
they tend to outsource all their worries to their ‘chosen’ GOD and lead a worry
free life thinking that somebody there is taking their responsibility. As a
result they lead more joyful life. Same way when the married daughter comes
back to her parents place to spend some time, she feels relieved at her parent’s
place. The daughter knows that all house responsibilities are that of her
parents. When she comes back to her in law’s house she mentally assumes all the
responsibilities and gets burdened under it. The devotional minded persons have
the inherent mental protection in that he thinks that GOD does only right things
for them and they have to only travel the distance. This makes them stress free
as if the devotional person has outsourced all his mental burdens to his GOD.
Such persons remain blissful and are seen more contended in life. Many service
minded types are also devotional to some extent. Complete path of devotion leads to permanent bliss. Though
this is difficult to attain persons have attempted it and have become
successful. Deep devotional persons are
rare and examples are Sant Tukaram, Sant Eknath, Nath sampraday, Guru Nanak, Saint
Kanakdassa, Janabai, Mirabai, Tukdoji Maharaj to name a few. …… Keep reading.
