Devotion is really the mind hankering after that which we love and desire most. Whatever we thus desire with all our mind – name, fame, a friend, an animal- is really our god. The Gita says: 'In whatever form a person worships Me, in that form I reach him.' Say the Upanishads 'If one worships anything for the qualities of that thing, one's love is limited and so is the result of that love. But if one worships Me in all things, then one attains Me, the Unlimited. Therefore love the Atman alone, for then the object of your love will never change or perish
