1. Previously, I gave the explanation of the seventh type of devotion. Now, listen attentively to the eighth type of devotion.
2. One should come into supreme communion with God. When one takes delight in, and loves only God, this is the sign of "Devotion Through Communion," the eighth type of devotion.
3. When one takes extreme gratification in God, he behaves accordingly. In this way, one is always in communion with God.
4. God likes the deep feelings of devotion and adoration, the explanations of stories, and the narrations and singing about God by his devotees.
5. If one behaves in such a way that what one likes is the same as what God likes, it is naturally pleasing to the mind, and one is definitely always in communion with God.
6. For the sake of communion with God, one should give up one's sense of personal happiness. Becoming one with him, one gives up the sense of a separate life, self, and body.
7. Giving up the concern for the miseries of worldly life, one should be concerned only about God. Speak only about explanations and narrations, and stories of God.
8. For the sake of communion with God, one should be willing to even break away from those who are dear. Everything, even one's own life, should be given to God.
9. Even if everything one owns should go away, one should stay in communion with God. One's life should have such a deep feeling of gratification in God such as this.
10. God means one's own Self. One should not give away one's own Self. This is the attribute of having supreme gratification only in God.
11. When one holds to supreme communion with God, God himself begins to look after the devotee.
12. In communion with God, one stays with one's Self. This is the secret of staying with oneself. Just as how one speaks, the same echo comes accordingly.
13. When we remain with the Self, God is immediately attained. If one becomes troubled with oneself, God is troubled accordingly.
14. The way in which one adores God, in that same way, God himself is. Therefore, one should understand that everything is only one's Self.
15. When things don’t happen according to the liking of the mind, one's faith gets diminished. Even this quality is naturally due only to oneself.
16. If the rain clouds do not rain, the Chataka bird remains unchanged in its devotion. If the moon does not rise on time, the Chakora still remains true to the moon.29
17. Like this should be one's communion with God. Hold on to what is pure (sattva) using discrimination (viveka). Do not give up the sense of connectedness with God.
18. One should consider God as one's closest friend. Mother, father, relatives, knowledge, money, wealth, property, all is only the Supreme Self, Paramatman.
19. There is nothing except God. Everyone says this, however somehow their faith does not always hold firm.
20. Do not be like this. Be true to communion and hold firmly within to the one Supreme God (Parameshwara).
21. If one gets angry with God for unfulfilled desires, this is not a sign of devotion through communion.
22. Whatever is the will of God is what is right for oneself. One should not forsake God in order to pursue one's desires.
23. One's actions are according to God’s will. Accept whatever God does as the way things should be, and naturally God is kind.
24. When seeing God’s kindness, even a mother’s kindness is of no comparison, because in adverse times, it is possible that a mother might even kill her child.
25. It has never been heard of nor seen that a devotee has ever been killed by God. God becomes a protective armor to one who has surrendered to him.
26. God is the protector of devotees, the downtrodden, and the destitute.
27. God is the protector of the needy, and keeps them from many dangers. Being the one who is innermost, God himself came to the rescue of the elephant Gajendra.30
28. God is the ocean of kindness and the blanketing cloud of compassion. It will never happen that God will forget his devotees.
29. God knows how to maintain communion. Make God your most beloved. Those who are around you are all selfish and will not come to your help.
30. Communion with God is never broken, and the gratification and delight in God never disappears for one who has surrendered.
31. Therefore stay in communion with God, and talk to him with intimacy from the heart. Understand the attributes of the eighth type of devotion are like this.
32. The Sadguru is the same as God. This is told in the ancient scriptures. Therefore, one should have this kind of communion with the Sadguru.
