I am seeking to deepen my spiritual practice. What different paths of devotion does the text describe?

📖 Chapter 1

The text outlines several paths of devotion, noting that the main characteristic is "seeking one’s own true nature." Beyond this core principle, Chapter 1 describes specific approaches. One is 'Archan,' which is expressing love through elaborate worship and rituals for the Guru. Another, according to Garga Acharya, involves the mind becoming absorbed in singing the Lord’s praises. A third path, from Shandilya, involves constant self-remembrance, listening to stories, and performing one's prescribed duties. The author's personal method is one of singular focus on the Guru, stating that for them, all actions, scriptures, and rituals are equivalent to devotion at Sai's feet, showing that focused surrender is also a powerful path.
