Cultivate Faith
Have faith in your Atman or genuine self. Second, faith in God-Mother, Supreme Being, and third, faith in the teaching and practice. Return to your practice if you are not feeling well.
You must first build your spiritual ideal of love in order to cultivate faith. To love, you must first understand what you love. Then grow this Divine love in your meditation, as well as in all of your interactions and situations. This active exercise will help you break free from habitual behaviors and reach long-term enjoyment. To put it another way, you must practice devotion on a daily basis.
Love for our chosen ideal begins within, in the dark recesses of our own hearts. Your own heart is where the Atman resides. It's the size of a thumb, according to Scripture, and it lives in the cave of your heart. As a result, you must love the selected ideal from the depths of your heart. This will restore the presence of love in our hearts, which has been obliterated by our association with our separate selves. As a result, we frequently experience all of these issues in our relationships, particularly personal ties, with our mothers, fathers, husbands, children, and so on. As a result, we must deliberately replace these feelings with Divine Love.
Love for our chosen ideal is a very personal and spiritual experience, not a show of social compliance. Your heart is the temple.
We can relax, self-surrender, become humble, and break through our egoistic restrictions, emotional patterns, and identifications by loving Divine Mother or devoting ourselves to the Supreme. It aids in the surrender of the ego, as well as the acceptance and healing of our emotions.
The chosen ideal can be Divine Mother Energy
- Everywhere you look, you can see the Divine in the energy of Nature or consciousness, in the food you consume, in the sun, the moon, and the stars.
- Devotion can be directed toward the Divine Mother, who is the Divine manifestation that underpins all of life. Choose to call Her Saraswati, the goddess of intelligence, knowledge, creativity, and wisdom. The creator is Brahma.
- Peace, love, harmony, virtue, righteousness, beauty, prosperity, and wealth are all symbols of Lakshmi's vitality. The preserver is Vishnu.
- Durga. It's where your inner power and courage come from. Siva means "destroyer" in Sanskrit.
Inner thoughts and feelings (called bhavas). Mother-son bhava; mother-daughter bhava is an inner sort of relationship that provides a sense of security, trust, and respect. We have the impression that the holy mother is watching over us.
Other forms of divine connection based on habitual feelings:
- Friend - Friend
- Divine father - Son/daughter
- Husband - Wife
- Lover - Beloved
- Servant - Master
There are nine ancient Bhakti Yoga methods for cultivating selfless love in daily life. These 9 Bhakti Yoga practices, according to Bhakti Yoga teachings, assist you in transcending egoism and draw you closer to union with the Supreme:
- Listen to inspiring Divine stories - Improve your ability to listen to other people's experiences about living and engaging with nature without passing judgment.
- Sing Mother Nature's Glory - Learn to praise her and look for her incredible attributes in Nature sciences (our bio variety) and one's own magnificent physique. Learn to see the wonderful traits in others in your relationships.
- In your prayers, remember Her/his name and presence by greeting each other with Om Namah Sivaya! Learn to recognize Divine Mother's presence and to appreciate the holiness of our interactions with Her. Be grateful for all living things, including trees, plants, animals, food, and people with whom you contact on a regular basis. Make your life more spiritual.
- Service with humility - As children of the Mother, learn to actively serve Mother Earth as Goddess through gardening, planting, watering, and cooking.

As though we were performing puja for everyone, we offer our time and presence to contemplate Nature and give wonderful gifts to others.
- Prostrations - Learn to treat animals, people you meet, and everyone around you with the utmost respect, regardless of who they are.

You get the feeling that you are a friend of the Earth, and you don't want to damage, imprison, or abuse your friend.
- Complete self-surrender - Learn to accept all that happens to you and everything that nature does with equanimity, and let go of whatever expectations or judgments you may have about yourself or others.
